My conclusion after two months on the stock market
Two months ago, on the exact day of my 18th birthday, I enthusiastically started my career as an investor. The first purchase was an $VWRL (+0.18%) ETF, which I will save in the future. I also bought a few individual shares, a tech ETF and an Asia EM ETF.
For entertainment and out of interest, I bought a few altcoins through my broker. (as I still have a very long investment horizon) I save Bitcoin via Relai.
My entry with the $VWRL ETF was a well-considered decision, as it offers broad diversification and represents a solid basis for my long-term strategy. With the additions of individual stocks, the tech ETF and the Asia EM ETF, I have tried to take advantage of targeted growth opportunities and align my portfolio accordingly. .
The investment in altcoins and the regular Bitcoin purchases via Relai were more of an experiment for me. However, I will continue to invest in Bitcoin as, after doing some research, I am now convinced of its potential as a store of value.
Of course, it has to be said that I entered the market in mid-October shortly before the American elections, which was a good time. This allowed me to participate in the year-end rally and make a good return of 6.2%. However, this was very much influenced by the Destiny Tech 100 fund.
Incidentally, I received my first dividends today ($KO (-0.4%) & $GOOGL (+0.94%) ), which made me very happy, even if it was only a tiny amount
For 2025, I have set myself the goal of having 15k invested and continuing to pursue my core-satellite strategy with ETFs, individual shares and Bitcoin.
