65Good morning
Always a happy morning when I receive the salary deposit notification! 🙏🏼
1500€ ready to be invested.
Market is having a slight move up, I’m trying to find an opportunity to invest.
$VWRL (-0.6%) I will for sure buy some shares.
$VUAG (+0.15%) 200€ monthly buy, I’m using this etf as my pension fund when I get older, So I have a 40 year horizon.
$AMD (+4.85%) unfortunately has already started going up, I wish I had more time to buy it under 100$
$GOOGL (+0.16%) is still cheap imo, I might buy 1 or 2 extra shares.
Any companies that you guys are looking in to right now?
Your opinion
I would like to invest €50 a month in a savings plan for my eight-year-old daughter.
Do you think it makes sense to invest part in the $VWCE (+0.52%) and part in the $VUAG (+0.15%) to invest?
Or just all in one of the two?
and which one would you prefer in this case?
Thank you!
It’s never too early
I don‘t get the people saying that a purchase was too early.
Even if the person investing says that they’re planning to invest long-term.
Except if you somehow found a way to build a Time Machine, you can never know how to market will do, you can speculate and look at factors but you can‘t know for sure.
I‘m sure everyone has wished that they had bought shares back when e.g. $AAPL (+2.5%) or $GOOGL (+0.16%) were cheap.
Same with the corona pandemic, if you had bought the $VUAG (+0.15%) at it’s lowest point in 2020 you would today be up about 140% - If you had bought it just before the crash you would still be up 80%.
If you‘re planning to buy but want to wait because the market could still go down more, do that - but don’t expect others to do the same 😄
Most people can‘t hear it anymore - me included - but there’s always this one person that believes they can time the market, you can‘t, if you think you did then it was probably luck.
Anyways who am I to say

Using the market situation
I've decided to use the current market situation to add some new positions to my portfolio and increase some others that I feel positive about.
ETF:
Was planing to increase this position anyways.
$IWDA (-0.08%) 10x
Opened this position to diversify a bit across other countries than the US.
Stocks:
$NOVO B (-2.45%) 10x
As the demand for diabetes and other drugs increase in the following decades I feel like this is a great opportunity to buy.
Increased my position in meta because the price seems alright.
Increased my position because the price seems great and I wanted to increase this position anyways.
Increased my position because BYD isn't going anywhere.
$MSFT (+1.98%) 0.8x
Rounded up my former position.
Increased my position to make use of the lower price.
Increased my position
$BNZL (-1.17%) 10x
Added this position mainly to increase the dividend returns but also because it seems like a good buy.
$HSBC (-2.56%) 20x
Added this position to increase the dividend returns - More of a risky investment but you gotta keep it interesting, right?
I'd appreciate some feedback, would you have waited a bit? The US market is probably gonna go down a bit more before recovering but I'm not gonna try to predict the market so I'm happy with what I got.

Crossed the £200,000 invested mark.
Let's not talk about returns this year, yet.
Inflationary tariffs in effect.
Imagine becoming profitable with that position in 10 years!
😂 Just kiddin'.
We have to keep up morale with humor somehow.
My Portfolio
Hello everyone,
First of all, my name is Tiago and I'm from Portugal, so there's a chance I'll have some writing mistakes.
I will share with you my Portfolio and my currently ideas.
So, basically I'm a 22 years old boy that became fascinated by this world of investments in the past year. I've been reading a lot of things about the market and how it works. I consider myself a passive investor with a little affection to risk, so once in a while I might add to my portfolio some "FOMO" and "meme" stocks. My currently portfolio basically consists in some ETFs and 3 single stocks $AMD (+4.85%)
$NU (-1.45%)
$TSM (-1.78%) .
I currently have a monthly savings plan of 450€ consisting in diversified ETFs and some bitcoin:
$VUAG (+0.15%) 159 € S&P 500 35%
$VWCE (+0.52%) 135 € FTSE-ALL World 30%
$EIMI (-1.41%) 45 € Emerging Markets 10%
$MEUD (-0.74%) 45 € Stoxx 600 Europe 10%
$VAGF (-0.74%) 22 € Global Bonds 5%
$SGLD (+2.85%) 22 € Gold 5%
$BTC (-0%) 22 € Bitcoin 5 %
Note: I was reinforcing $XNAS (+0.87%) until last month but the geopolitical scene changed, and I decided that I should not overlap that much in US. That resulted in me moving that allocation to $MEUD (-0.74%) .
This portfolio gives me around 53% exposure to US, 19% developed markets, 13% emerging markets, 5% gold, 5% bonds and 5% bitcoin.
I know that the % would almost be the same if I only invested in: $VWCE (+0.52%) +$VAGF (-0.74%) +$SGLD (+2.85%) +$BTC (-0%) but I want to have the power to change the allocations and reinforce wherever I want to.
Since I am betting in the whole market I don't expect huge growth unless I reinforce with some bigger amounts when good "dips" arrive.
I have an emergency fund, but no one knows how we will end up in 5 years... that's why if a crisis arrives, I'll use my gold and bonds as liquidity to either reinforce my etfs or use that money myself.
First of all congrats on starting your investing journey at such a young age. I like your passive approach, but would suggest you to make it more simple. With $VWCE you are basically already investing in $VUAG $EIMI and $MEUD. I think you would be much better off managing less ETF - less moving parts, less headache, easier to stick to your plan. Nonetheless you are on a great path and ahead of 99% of people already. Just keep buying and don't overcomplicate things. Good luck!
I’m looking for an advise
As a new investor I start my journey really late. I’m 43yo and I’m looking to create something in order to have additional income when I will retire.
For that reason, and after many buying/ selling I ended to these etfs:
$SPXS (+0.18%) - 40% (S&P 500)
$ISAC (-1.19%) - 20% (MSCI ACWI)
$MEUD (-0.74%) - 20% (EUROPE STOXX 600)
$VFEG (-1.11%) - 20% (Emerging Markets)
Can I have your ideas/ thoughts? I want to hold these etfs and dca on them. Thanks for your time.
P.S: The $VUAG (+0.15%) you see is on different account , savings separately for my kids.
Opinions?
Not been investing long, let’s see how it goes.
