After a volatile September with +6,2% the stabilization continued in October. My portfolio rose to 40.233 € and increased by +2,80 % slightly weaker than the NASDAQ 100 (+6.95 %)but still solidly in the green. While the major indices were driven by big tech, my portfolio once again showed strength in niche and future themes. ⚙️

1. performance & comparison 🚀

There was a moderate recovery over the course of the month: while the markets initially fluctuated, momentum returned towards the end.

With +2,8 % my portfolio remained below the NASDAQ 100, but performed better than broader indices such as the FTSE All World (+4.45 %) and DAX (+4.11 %) stable.

Particularly positive: the continued consolidation following the tech rallies of the previous months.

2. my savings plans & allocation 💶

My focus remains clear: managing liquidity and making targeted use of opportunities.

Since October, my new savings plan has been running on the Euro Overnight Rate Swap ETF (€ 500 per month) - as a flexible, interest-bearing "cash parking space" with daily liquidity and currently over 3.9 % return p.a. This allows me to keep capital ready to invest in quality shares in the event of setbacks.

3rd top mover in October 🟢

The month was led by IREN $IREN (-12.32%)
(+25,8 %)which once again benefited from the massive demand for computing power for AI. Also Snowflake $SNOW (-4.64%)
(+22,8 %) also made strong gains as investors increasingly focused on data-driven platforms again. The VanEck Uranium & Nuclear Energy ETF (+18.5 %) $NUKL (-4.43%) rose significantly, driven by the ongoing global reassessment of nuclear energy as a stable and low-carbon energy source. Geopolitical tensions and supply bottlenecks provided an additional boost. While American Lithium (+15.4 %) was supported by positive industry news. Also CrowdStrike $CRWD (-3.45%)
(+14 %) also impressed with strong demand in the cybersecurity segment and Datadog $DDOG (-2.92%)
(+12,2 %) benefited from robust cloud spending by large companies.

4th flop mover in October 🔴

On the losing side was Ferrari $RACE (-0.33%)
(-17,1 %)which was burdened by profit-taking and a more cautious outlook after a strong summer quarter. Tomra Systems $TOM (-1.55%)
(-15 %) corrected after weaker volume growth, while Rheinmetall $RHM (+0.46%)
(-14,1 %) suffered from geopolitical uncertainty despite a high order situation. Also Novo Nordisk $NOVO B (-2.03%)
(-6,8 %) also fell further as regulatory risks surrounding GLP-1 once again came into focus. BYD $1211 (+1.22%)
(-5,9 %) was volatile, weighed down by price pressure in China, while even Berkshire Hathaway $BRK.B (+1.68%)
(-2,7 %) closed slightly in the red.

5. conclusion 💡

October showed: Rotation instead of rally. Techs with real profitability are gaining momentum again, while overheated stocks are consolidating.

With the overnight ETF, I am deliberately building up a strategic "interest rate anchor" in order to remain flexible in the coming months.

My focus remains clear: Quality, liquidity and long-term scaling.

$IREN (-12.32%)

$NUKL (-4.43%)

I bought more Iren and Nukl this morning.

I now have an even entry price of €46.00 and just over 30 shares in Iren .

The whole thing is very risky, as the share could still fall considerably.

Nevertheless, I assume that the $50 mark (or just below it) will hold. Even if I am wrong and it does fall further, I believe that it will turn sharply upwards in the foreseeable future and see a potential of several 100 %.

• 50 shares $VWRL (-1.74%) bought back cheaper 😎 The rest will follow in the next few days/weeks

• $EQQQ (-2.28%) I'll wait a little longer, or maybe I'll give priority to financing 🥲

• $1810 (-2.22%) and $ARM (-5.4%) minimally topped up. Buy the dip

• $VUSA (-1.89%) - $HMWO (-1.81%) - $BTC (-2.4%) one off-plan purchase each. Buy & Hold

• My $AMD (-4.33%) short has also performed well. My other warrants have very large KO distances and are held.

(of course I'm luckier than I am smart, but on the other hand it's crazy to believe that the stock market only ever goes in one direction 🤭)

$NUKL (-4.43%) 🤓

I wanted to refresh my wife's portfolio and not just put it into an MSCI World or FTSI World. So I asked ChatGPT how I can set up a savings plan with the following conditions:

Individual positions < 10%

Individual stocks: Siemens AG, Microsoft, BTC and gold

Defense industry

Construction and infrastructure sector

Momentum

Robots sector

AI sector

Nuclear industry

The following constrellation came out at 2x200€/month:

Individual stocks: 32%

8% Siemens AG $SIE (-8.51%) 2x16€ =32,00 €

8% Microsoft $MSFT (-1.84%) 2x16€ =32,00 €

8% Bitcoin $BTC (-2.4%) 2x16€=32,00 €

8% Gold $WGLD (-0.96%) 2x16€=32,00 €

ETFs 68%:

20% multifactor ETF $IBCZ (-1.48%) 2x 40€ = 80€

12% Robotics ETF $AAKI (-6.03%) 2x 24€ = 48 €

12% AI ETF $INTL (-3.74%) 2x24€ = 48 €

12% Nuclear ETF $NUKL (-4.43%) 2x24€ = 48 €

7% Infrastructure ETF $EXV8 (-0.2%) 2x14€ = 28 €

5% Defense ETF $ASWC (-1.89%) 2x10€ = 20 €

Why all this:

The selection offers better access to momentum in the short, medium and long term and less vola in the overall picture. A total of 570 companies are included and 2 assets.

I would be very happy to receive feedback or suggestions. Thank you!

Hello Community,

July is history and here is my usual transparent monthly review directly from the portfolio, which has now reached a value of €34,485. It was a month that perfectly demonstrated the importance of a clear strategy and a steady hand.

📈 1. the performance: solid in a turbulent environment

I am satisfied with a monthly performance of +1.54%. As the chart shows, I was able to outperform the DAX (+0.57%), but was slightly behind the S&P 500 (+2.20%) and the strong NASDAQ100 (+6,35%). The result reflects my portfolio: a high tech component, which benefited from the strength of the US indices, but also positions in Europe and China, which held back in some cases.

2. my purchases: anti-cyclical & quality focus

💸 I made three targeted purchases in July:

• Keyence (501 €) & Novo-Nordisk (526 €): Here I built up my positions in two absolute quality champions at the beginning/middle of the month.

• Ferrari (101 €): Following the exaggerated share price fall of over 11% after the quarterly figures, I took the opportunity to buy a small, disciplined tranche. For me as a long-term investor, such irrational market movements are clear buying opportunities in excellent companies.

3. my savings plans & dividends

🏦 The basis of my asset accumulation continued as usual:

• Alibaba (404 €): I continue to use the savings plan to consistently expand my anti-cyclical bet on the Chinese e-commerce giant.

• BYD (19 €): Here, the dividend received was reinvested directly back into new shares. This is how the compound interest effect works optimally.

4. tops & flops: a reflection of the market

🟢 Top movers:

The list was topped by my speculative stocks American Lithium (+25.00%) and Iris Energy (+12.32%) and the Uranium & Nuclear Technology ETF (+11,36%). This shows that risk appetite in niches is increasing again in an uncertain market environment. My tech stocks such as Cloudflare and Datadog also performed strongly.

🔴 Flop mover:

Here were the losers of the month Novo-Nordisk (-29.94%) and Ferrari (-6,56%). These defensive stocks underwent a strong correction in July, which I, as with Ferrari as shown in the case of Ferrari.

🧠 Conclusion:

July was a month of contrasts. While the overall market performed solidly, there were strong rotations beneath the surface. My strategy of focusing on a mix of a solid ETF core, quality stocks and targeted speculative bets proved successful.

How did your July go? Did you also use the correction in some stocks to buy more? I look forward to hearing from you!

Hello everyone,

I often think about investing in the $NUKL (-4.43%) ETF. I have heard that the US has imposed an import ban on Russian uranium. Therefore, I assume that North American uranium companies could benefit from this. Is this just a vague assumption, or do you think there are solid reasons for this?

Facts:

Import ban on Russian uranium:

The USA has taken measures to reduce its dependence on Russian uranium. As part of the sanctions against Russia due to the Ukraine conflict, imports of Russian uranium are being restricted.

North American uranium companies:

There are several major uranium producers in North America, including Cameco in Canada and Energy Fuels in the USA. These companies could benefit from reduced competition from Russian suppliers.

Rising uranium prices:

The reduced availability of Russian uranium could increase demand for North American uranium, which could lead to higher uranium prices. Higher prices could increase the profits of uranium producers.

Political support:

The US government has announced its intention to promote domestic uranium production in order to secure the national energy supply and become less dependent on foreign suppliers.

Long-term demand:

With the global movement towards clean energy and the increasing need for nuclear power as a low-emission energy source, demand for uranium is expected to continue to increase in the long term.

In summary, there are some solid reasons to believe that North American uranium companies could benefit from current geopolitical developments. An investment in the $NUKL (-4.43%) ETF could therefore make sense in the current situation.

What do you think?
