Portfolio update: sales, purchases and my "strategy" for 2025

Hello Community,


As previously announced, I would like to give you a brief overview of the current changes in my portfolio today.


I keep my securities account with ING-DiBa.

There are fees for savings plans on individual shares in the amount of 1,75 % of the savings amount, while ETF savings plans are free of charge.

I also use an overnight deposit account, which unfortunately currently only pays 1,25 % interest.


Individual orders in direct trading are charged at 4.90 euros plus 0.25 percent of the investment amount if they are not part of a savings plan.


Sales in the last few weeks:

-ADM $ADM (+0.86%)

-Medical Properties $MPW (-0.96%)

-Virgin Galactic $SPCE (+1.47%)

- Alphawave $AWE (-0.65%)

Purchases this week:

-Rheinmetall (first purchase) $RHM (-0.03%)

-NU Holding (subsequent purchase) $NU (-0.22%)

My strategy for 2025:

In a nutshell:

Everything as always with me - savings plans and targeted individual purchases when the price and available cash are right.

This strategy has proven itself over the years and will remain my approach in 2025.


I have planned another sale when the share price is right and would like to buy DHL Group
$DHL (+3.11%) from the portfolio and invest the cash in Rheinmetall position.


Current savings plans (monthly):

-225 € ~ FTSE All World $VWCE (+0.66%)

-100 € ~ Tesla $TSLA (+0.84%)

-50 € ~ Microsoft $MSFT (+0.15%)

-50 € ~ Alphabet $GOOGL (+0.48%)

-50 € ~ Palantir $PLTR (+0.59%)

-25 € ~ Merck & Co. $MRK (+0.1%)

-25 € ~ Walmart $WMT (+0.15%)

-25 € ~ Allianz $ALV (+1%)

-25 € ~ RTX $RTX (+0.32%)

-25 € ~ Home Depot $HD (+0.33%)

-25 € ~ Apple $AAPL (+0.31%)

-25 € ~ Intel $INTC (+0.11%)

-25 € ~ Coca Cola $KO (+0.09%)

-25 € ~ McDonald's $MCD (+0.03%)

-25 € ~ Rheinmetall $RHM (-0.03%)

Current allocation by asset class in the portfolio:

-94,33 % Equities

-3,62 % Crypto

-2,05 % Gold


🔖 My approach to savings plans:


When I add a share to my savings plan, I always start with a basic investment (between €2,000 and €2,500) before I start with regular savings amounts.

I make sure that the share price is attractive at the time of entry - ideally I use a short-term dip.


Dividends received are always reinvested immediately, either through savings plans or targeted purchases.


Note on REITs (Realty Income and STAG):


Unfortunately, ING-DiBa does not offer monthly savings for REITs.

I therefore invest the dividends directly in my Allworld savings plan instead.

My position in Realty Income
$O (+0.24%) and STAG
$STAG (+0.43%) this year through individual purchases.


Watchlist with planned purchases:

-Euwax Gold 2 (additional purchase) $EWG2 (+0.47%)

-Palantir (additional buy) $PLTR (+0.59%)

-Nvidia (additional purchase) $NVDA (+0.05%)

-Reliance Industries (initial purchase) $RIGD (+0.9%)

-Aerovironment (initial purchase) $AVAV (+0.58%)


I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my portfolio.

I don't actually do that much, as I simply save my positions on a monthly basis and make targeted individual purchases.


P.S. I discover impressive portfolios on Getquin every day and keep coming across stocks that I am not yet familiar with.

The articles on various topics are also simply great.

Many thanks to the fantastic community and the daily "education"! 🫶


Best regards,

Michael

Thanks also for the insight and for your great contributions 😉 but I have to correct you on the points about ING. ETF savings plans are free of charge if the ETF is supported. Unfortunately, there are some where no savings plan is possible. Share savings plans now cost a little less. Are 1.5% instead of 1.75%. Which is good for you 😉 And the overnight money has unfortunately only been at 1.0% for a few days.

Thanks for the insight 😊👍

And why not open an account for the interest with Trade Republic and collect interest every month?

Thanks for the praise, it's good for me and I was right. If you are interested in participating in space X, I would like to mention $DXYZ 🤫, but please don't tell anyone else. Thanks for the interesting insight.
And one more question,
Why a monthly savings plan on Tesla? Isn't that too much exposure for you?

If you mean the call money account at ING-DiBa, you only get 1% interest on it since January 7th.

Thanks @Michael-official for sharing your investment strategy and going deep with individual stocks, I always look forward to the detailed analysis and insights you share, please keep it up 🙏

Quick 2 questions, if you may answer;
Why ING despite high transaction costs, considering there are other relatively cheaper brokers?
The reason I am asking because I also have ING and Scalable, I started with ING but due to high transactional costs I moved to SC, I did the securities transfer in 3-4 batches, yet I have about 35-40% of investment in ING which I am gonna keep there.
So, I am just curious to know if there is any particular reason to stay with ING for you?

Secondly, in this post, I gotta feel that you are inclining a little extra towards Rheinmetall compare to others, what is the reason?
Again, the reason I am asking because I also have it in my portfolio and the return on my investment from Rheinmetall is most of the time in top 5, currently on 2nd but some time ago I decided to not invest further in it due to its sudden and big ups and downs, what is your reasoning to invest more?
