$TRUMP (+0.02%)
$IWDA (-0.38%)
$CSPX (-0.48%)
$CSNDX (-0.93%)
$EQQQ (-0.93%)
$BTC (+1.21%)
$ETH (+2.11%)

Who got nervous? 😁

• 50 shares $VWRL (-0.42%) bought back cheaper 😎 The rest will follow in the next few days/weeks

• $EQQQ (-0.93%) I'll wait a little longer, or maybe I'll give priority to financing 🥲

• $1810 (+0.18%) and $ARM (-1.72%) minimally topped up. Buy the dip

• $VUSA (-0.56%) - $HMWO (-0.47%) - $BTC (+1.21%) one off-plan purchase each. Buy & Hold

• My $AMD (-4.24%) 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 (+0.34%) 🤓

At the beginning of October, I sold two of my ETFs, the $VWRL (-0.42%) and the $EQQQ (-0.93%) .

I was convinced that we would see at least a short-term but significant correction in October.

And since I was planning to transfer these ETFs from Trade Republic to Flatex anyway, I thought: Sell now, pick up cheaper later 🤪

Since then, of course, the market has rallied. Fortunately, I still have the $HMWO (-0.47%) and $VUSA (-0.56%) and my shares.

My original plan was to sell, wait out the crash and then get back in. Due to the broker's fee model and position size, I would have bought back the NASDAQ in one transaction as a savings plan, the savings plan is still active on October 23 and I could have bought back the All World flexibly in large tranches as there are no order fees at all.

At the moment, however, it looks as if the plan won't work out 🥲

The total amount is €20,000. I transferred € 9999 of this to my account without any problems (no proof, no delay, approx. 24 hours) and € 7500 of this to Flatex for the QQQ on the 23rd .

The rest is still with Trade Republic and is even earning a little interest there. I hope I don't have to wait until November to get the rest of the money out of Trade Republic without any problems...

Now I see the following options:

1) Put everything into All World right away.

I can buy the NASDAQ later with fresh capital if there is another setback.

2) Pay off the last financing.

I have around €10,000 outstanding, with a monthly installment of €238.

Apart from that, I am debt-free.

The interest rate is around 6-7%, plus hidden costs such as account management fees and endowment insurance.

So it would be worth considering closing the loan completely, but that would leave very little capital for ETFs.

3) Stick to the original plan

Uptober isn't over yet 🥲

4) All in $NVDA (-1.17%) 🤣

5) Gradually in with a savings plan.

6) Or will the seasonal setbacks only occur from January/spring 2026?

Which options do you think make sense? What are your thoughts?

On October 1, 2025, I sold my ETFs at Trade Republic because I was convinced it wouldn't be an uptober.

Instead, of course, there was an autumn rally with new highs.

But well, it's not all evening yet. 😅

I wouldn't have done it if I hadn't wanted to transfer my ETFs from Trade Republic to Flatex anyway by selling+buying.

For then $EQQQ (-0.93%) a one-off savings plan execution of €7500 is planned for October 23 (costs €1.50).

As for the $VWRL (-0.42%) I'm thinking about waiting a few more days/weeks or buying 10 shares a week for 12 weeks starting next week. The order cost is €0 and if there is a significant correction, I can always buy more

Hello my dears,

September is over.

That's why I'd like to give you a little overview of the month.

Tops: 📉

$INOD (-6.9%)
$APP (+2.16%)
$MU (-2.2%)
$GILT (-2.54%)
$PNG (+10.05%)
$AVAV (-6.09%)
$ASML (-1.3%)

Flops: 📈

$UFPT (+2.59%)
$CAMX (-0.74%)
$TDG (-0.53%)
$CMG (-2.18%)
$TTEK (-2.73%)
$CPRT (-1.77%)
$CSU (+0.44%)

It was noticeable in September that there were a lot of long runners and compounders among the flops. For this reason, I am relaxed for the time being and will stick to the values.

📉

My overall portfolio closed the month up 8.64 %.

$EQQQ (-0.93%) NASDAQ 100. +4.81 %

$IWDA (-0.38%) MSCI World. +2,62 %

Today I have completely separated myself from my $AMZN (-1.75%) position today. The reasons for my decision:

○ Disappointing price performance YtD, especially in comparison with other Mag7 stocks

○ Nice price performance of approx. 40% since initial purchase in January 2024

○ No significant AI models and intentions recognizable. Could only become interesting for me again with the advent of humanoid robots

○ Reduction of duplication in the portfolio, as I am working with $MELI (-2.36%) & $9988 (-0.63%) in eCommerce and with $GOOGL (+0.53%) & $9988 (-0.63%) in the cloud sector to other stocks in the portfolio.

I will invest the freed-up capital in Hopfengold at the Oktoberfest in Munich at the weekend. The (hopefully) remaining amount will then flow into the $EQQQ. (-0.93%)

Good morning,

I continue to invest in my ETFs, which means that the relative weighting of individual stocks continues to shrink.

Because of this rock-solid ETF core, I can and want to do without supposedly safe stocks, especially so-called value stocks. I am prepared to take higher risks and focus mainly on growth stocks. After all, ETFs are there for everything else.

Here is my current portfolio: https://app.extraetf.com/de/shared/4MEaYJVdHN

Now I would like to move away from $III (+1.2%) and $CALM (+0.99%) possibly also from $BNTX (-1.29%) and a few others 🤭 I hope this is not a mistake and would therefore like your opinion?

I would also be happy to receive general criticism, suggestions, advice and guidance

$EQQQ (-0.93%)

$VUSA (-0.56%)

$HMWO (-0.47%)

Underperformance 😑

- PE funds usually underperform the NASDAQ 100 over 5 and 10 years.

- The stated target return of 12% p.a. is wishful thinking for advertising purposes.

Extremely high costs 💰

- 2.35% p.a. EQT + 5.00% exit costs

- 4.51% p.a. Apollo

- Comparison: iShares NASDAQ 100 ETF only 0.32% p.a.

- PE fund is up to 23 times (!!!) as expensive and eats up returns like Jumbo Schreiner at the All You Can Eat buffet.

Low liquidity 🤏

- Monthly sale possible, but no buyers guaranteed

- Sale can be prohibited if too many want to sell. You then have to keep the dirt because it is not traded on the stock exchange.

Further risks 🫣

- Apollo is not transparent and does not tell you what is in the fund. You should blindly & naively buy a fortune cookie.

Conclusion 🥱

Hands off. There are many better investments.
