Great summary. Thanks for that. Are you comfortable with such a high German allocation (in your overall portfolio)? Are you holding for the long term or do you plan to sell on a specific event?

@DonkeyInvestor I will remain invested for the time being, because $DB1
is one of the best German stocks and I think there are some trends behind it. Unfortunately, I have a lot of Europe in my portfolio, but if you split it up it actually works. You have to bear in mind that more than half of Telekom consists of the US subsidiary. Despite everything, I want more USA and I'm working on it, but it's not easy at the prices. Back to DB, I'm relaxed. Germany, Europe and the rest of the world need to access the capital market more and more, because all institutions need more and more money. Even if more than ever is cleared privately, the parent companies almost always end up on the stock exchange. Added to this is the orientation towards becoming a data provider. Even if DB doesn't make it, the market will have to consolidate in the long term and there are currently only three candidates. $ENX $DB1 and $NDAQ, although they actually wanted to get out of Europe.

•@topicswithhead Thank you for the insights into your world of thought. That would be too much Germany for me. But the important thing is that you feel comfortable with it

@DonkeyInvestor I don't feel good about it, but I don't have the capital or the cheap shares to buy. $MCO could be added soon, but that won't change much. I want to cut 40% of Carl Zeiss when it is back in the black, basically I think a lot of the company is just too much for me. In principle I would like = 50% USA, <5% China, <30% each Europe and Asia (ex china) and <20 EM. Plus up to 3% crypto, up to 11% gold or bonds, neither of which is currently in the portfolio. So I am far from optimal

•@topicswithhead Why wait until Carl Zeiss is in the black? But yes, if there are no alternatives, it is difficult to restructure

@DonkeyInvestor well, I know your text about selling losses when you have made bad purchases, but I still believe in the company and have bought more, hence the overweighting. My aim was to push down the purchase price and when the share has reached +7% of the price of the first purchases again, the first purchased parts are sold and thus the average price is lowered.

@topicswithhead You can do that, but it would be nothing for me.

•@DonkeyInvestor let's hope it works I have done it twice now and it was very successful but 2 is not a significant number
