120Green Easter
Happy Easter to you all!
After @InvestmentPapa a few days ago, here is the part of my portfolio that is still green. Due to the turbulent market of the last few months, I have made some tax optimizations and also sold positive positions from time to time, so unfortunately there is not much green left, only $VUSA (+1.29%) . The new acquisitions are unfortunately still red. 😅
How are you all doing? Since no one else @InvestmentPapa nobody has posted anything yet, I'll just ask directly:
@Tenbagger2024
@Esperanza
@Simpson What's your situation?


Today we witnessed the biggest insider trades in history.
Boy, oh boy. Donnie's circle raked in billions today.
$VUSA (+1.29%)
$CSNDX (+1.92%)
$NVDA (+3.01%)
$RH (+3.15%)
$MSTR (-0.93%)

Holy..
$NVDA (+3.01%) down 12% already. $VUSA (+1.29%) 5%..
I'm honestly between crying and laughing 🥲😂
How the fuck does one person manage to screw up so bad.
Shall we bring Easter forward?
I had already focused on #gruenostern (or #grueneostern ), but at the moment I only have $VUSA (+1.29%) and $LQQ (+4.32%) green.
Who knows where they'll be at Easter? 🫣
Dividend received 2nd April 2025
$11,34 $KMB (-1.5%)
$22,40 $VHYL (+0.91%)
$1,60 $VUSA (+1.29%)
$4,18 $VWRL (+1.28%)
Total $39,52
Keep stacking the #dividend
World portfolio: VWRL vs 6 ETF Depot
Goal: A globally diversified portfolio via a savings plan
Option 1:
Everything in the $VWRL (+1.28%)
Option 2:
50% $VUSA (+1.29%)
15% $EIMI (+1.08%)
15% $VEUR (+0.71%)
10% $WSML (+0.81%)
What do you think?
Option 1 would be the simpler approach. No rebalancing. Unscheduled purchases or sales with an ETF are easier and more fee-friendly.
Option 2 allows more control in terms of weighting, so I could reduce the US share from $VWRL (+1.28%) from 62% to 45-50%. In option 2 it would also be possible to swap the S&P 500 for Nasdaq or Amumbo depending on the market cycle to get more performance out of it without the risk of a US overweight.
Tranches or one-off investment?
As the markets have recently recorded a slight decline, I bought a tranche of the S&P 500 ETF ($VUSA (+1.29%)) today.
I am currently considering whether it makes sense to spread my planned investment in 4-5 tranches over several weeks in order to possibly catch the low point.
Alternatively, it might be better to invest the entire amount at once - following the classic approach:
"Time in the Market beats Timing the Market".
How do you see it? Which strategy do you prefer and why?
PS: of course you have to invest in the USA and represent its start-up and shareholder focus as a strategy.
New-ish investor here, rate my portfolio
Hi, im a uni student currently in the UK on my final year. Technically I had started investing on December 2022 but back then it’s more trying to play around and see what happens. And because trading 212 has 0 commission fees or holding fees I just thought to throw 10 pounds in a bunch of companies that I think would do well and let things happen. However recently I have decided to go all in, seeing the recent dip in $VUSA (+1.29%) as the perfect entry point to dump most of my money into.
while I do have stable income (~450/month) it goes down after term time, however as I am pretty frugal I managed to gather enough money so my portfolio is not just scraps and pieces. Here’s the break down of my portfolio:
ETF: mostly my savings account that’s better but inaccessible on weekends, $VFEG (+0.55%) is there so if S&P shits the fan while I’m not looking I won’t lose everything, and if I am then that’s where the money is going at least temporarily. I am currently putting in at least 50 pounds into it per month.
Stocks: mostly a sandbox where I try out different things, hopefully majority of them are well informed. Though I will mention currently my stock portfolio is absolutely carried by $RHM (+1.21%)
$BA. (+0.76%) and $RR. (+1.86%) . Having bought them back in 2022. though not all decisions I make are winners for example selling $NVDA (+3.01%) and $AMD (+3.83%) on early 2023 fearing that AI is a bubble. You can’t win them all I suppose
in the future I’m looking for leveraged on S&P for example $3USL (+4.81%) but I will be putting in stop orders and/or keeping an eye on it actively. And of course to get a better job :P
please if you have comments about the portfolio feel free to do so
Good luck
