50s savings plan of selected shares


Hello everyone,

After a lot of back and forth, I have picked out a few stocks, some of which are aimed purely at growth, higher dividends and dividend growth:


The aim would be to invest in the respective shares at €10/share to start with, and then later e.g. €20/share....or is it absolutely non-sense and a waste of time? In my opinion, many of these shares are moats and long-term established companies that everyone knows. I would like to generate reliably rising dividends and also have nice growth in my portfolio. A $ISPA (+0.76%) for example, also generates nice growth, but it feels like it's only going sideways...


Of course, it's stupid that each share has only invested €1,200 or a little more in 10 years at the savings rate, for example.... sounds ridiculously low at first.


What do you think? (Click image to enlarge)

In short, any MSCI World will easily outperform you 😬 not to mention the time required to keep up to date with 50 assets in order to be able to react if necessary.

Perhaps you could start by building up a stable core of 50+% and then gradually add satellites?

You can do it 😊👍 I have many of them in a savings plan myself😁, with some I would reconsider something like Basf or Verizon there are certainly better alternatives 😉

Look for 10 stock weights, 2-3% each and the remaining 70-80% a core (world or all world) so you sleep better

Well, you can do it... but you don't have to.

If you want to keep up the effort in the long term, there's nothing to be said against it.

I ask myself the following questions, among others:
- Rebalancing the weighting of individual stocks?
- Adjustment, e.g. of the weighting of the sectors in relation to each other?
- Do you want to make the effort permanently?

I am of the same opinion as Homer. I also have various shares in my portfolio. 👍 I currently have 47 positions. Originally I only wanted to have 3 positions per sector, but in tech and financial stocks alone there are many large companies that are also among the top 20 in the MSCI World and pay good dividends. I believe that with a healthy mix you can beat the MSCI World despite the dividend strategy. I've been doing this for 3 years 😜 and I only have dividend stocks.
But in your picture there are also positions that are slow-growing apart from the dividend. That's why you can also save a few stocks that don't pay out quite as much in dividends but perform well.

It's the mix that counts.

I don't find it useless. That's exactly how I started with my individual shares. And every bonus, tax refund, service charge, electricity or health insurance was used for individual investments (in addition to ETF purchases). In the meantime, the 10 has become an 11 and hopefully a 12 with the next salary increase. I invest in some individual stocks with more than 11, these are the positions that I want to build up more quickly or where I want to take advantage of longer-term weaknesses. For example, Nike at the moment.

What you didn't take into account in your written consideration is that the shares develop in value. Broadcom, for example, has more than doubled in value for me. Of course, this is just a snapshot in time.

Some people will tell you that a global ETF can outperform you, which is similar for me, but I want to create a stable income through broad diversification.
With only a few shares, a dividend cut has a greater impact.

In the end, you have to be able to sleep well with your strategy. In the end, no one can tell you whether you're doing the right thing because no one knows your thoughts, needs and starting position. You can only guess.

So my advice: make your experiences, stay on the ball and enjoy the rain of dividends on various payout dates.

Good stock selection. The only difficulty is sticking with it, i.e. buying certain stocks even when they are cheap and have crises and you are sometimes in the red, or generally when the portfolio as a whole is underperforming. I've been saving 40 shares for 3 years with €20 a month and you really need a lot of patience because at the beginning you have a few shares that don't go anywhere.
