Hi everyone,

I am 21 years old and have been actively investing myself since 2019, before that my parents started investing money for me.

Now I started working at the beginning of the year and can currently invest €1000 per month, but I'm thinking about increasing it again if necessary, as I have enough left over at the end of the month.

I am currently saving $BRK.B (-0.22%)
$NVDA (-1.03%)
$AAPL (+0.13%)
$MSFT (-0.44%) and $META (-1.02%) with 50€ each.

The ETFs $UST (-0.63%)
$LYPS (-0.58%)
$LYY7 (+0.3%)
$IWRD (-0.31%) and $LOCK (+0.12%) with 150€ each.

I would like some feedback on what you think about diversification in the savings plan, or whether I should invest more in shares at a young age.

I will also be joining Trade Republic next month and will also be focusing on short-term trades as I have been looking into this a bit more recently.

I look forward to your feedback and what could be adjusted in general.

Best regards!

Dear friends of Getquin,

I'm usually a silent reader, but if everyone just reads, eventually there's no more reading material, is there? So today I want to share my story with you.

The beginnings:

It's hard for me to say exactly when my journey began, but I do know that I developed a fascination with money as a child. My first "investment" was when I was about 7 or 8 years old, when I bought an ounce of gold with my own pocket money. At that time, no one in my family had anything to do with investments, but I had seen it in my mother's bank when I often accompanied her there. I was fascinated by the shiny coins and wanted to know how I could have a piece myself.

Then, around the turn of the millennium, I saw my father, together with a "great" bank advisor, invest the entire family savings in the middle of the dotcom bubble. The result: a massive loss within a few months. But my mother, who was at home at the time, fought hard and was miraculously able to recoup the losses. I was about 9 or 10 years old at the time and watched her sit in front of the PC every day and look at the figures. From that moment on, I was hooked! I started using an Excel spreadsheet to track which shares I would have bought at what price and watched the performance of my fictitious investments with great interest every day after school.

The first few years:

My mother stopped day trading after about a year and went back to work. However, shares were no longer an issue for me until I was 26.

Getting into real shares:

In 2018, in the summer, as a die-hard Juventus fan, I read about an article on the transfer of CR7 and how Juventus shares went through the roof. I was there again! At that time, however, I only had a small income as a working student. My father, who had failed with his investments in the past, gave me €2,000 - and I bought Juventus shares. However, he made me promise him that I would never invest in shares again. How did the story end? The "trade" with Juventus was a success, but I had to pay taxes for the first time - and I still hate that to this day.

The first losses:

After my Juventus adventure, I began to delve deeper into the matter. I tried out recommendations from "Aktionär" and repeatedly bet on individual shares for smaller trades. It was more of a game, but I generally remained profitable - sometimes a few percent profit, sometimes a few percent loss. Thanks to the profits and additional deposits, I built up my portfolio to €18,000 until I was hit by Wirecard. In the end, I had to accept a loss of around €6,000. It was painful, but not life-threatening - and I learned a lot from this mistake. In particular, I made the mistake of constantly buying more. If I had left it at the original position of € 1,500, the loss would probably not have been so dramatic.

Don't give up:

After the Wirecard debacle, I radically rethought my strategy. I increasingly focused on conservative companies, regular dividend payers and low growth. But here, too, I realized that I was underperforming the market. So I adapted my strategy further and took a long-term approach. I have since been able to slowly recoup my losses.

The clean cut - a new start:

In the summer of 2023, I needed all my assets for a private housing project and decided to make a real "fresh start". I sold all the positions in my portfolio and only kept my ETF savings plans with TradeRepublic.

The new era:

When the housing project was completed, I wanted to build up a new portfolio with the money I had left over - and here you can see the result. My aim is to find companies that are growing strongly and have a solid moat. Dividends are nice, but not a must. My portfolio also contains defensive, boring stocks as a healthy addition. At the same time, I try to further expand my ETF positions through one-off purchases - I stopped my regular ETF savings plans at the end of January 2025. I have also invested a little in crypto and gold on the side. I have made further investments in Lego (€500), Pokémon (€1,000) and Counterstrike cases (€3,000), but these are not part of the public list - that would be too costly for me.

Fun fact:

My cash ratio has never been higher than €3,000 since I first entered the stock market (2018). This is currently an exception because I want to build up a cash reserve for the next generation.

Goal:

I don't have a specific, set goal when it comes to my investments. It's more of a hobby for me. I just enjoy seeing how my portfolio grows and how I can accompany exciting companies and be a small part of them as they develop. For me, it feels a bit like collecting: I enjoy discovering interesting companies, investing in them and watching them develop over the long term.

Thank you:

A big thank you goes to Goldesel Investing and Markus Koch, who have been with me since my first stock market steps. Without you, the share culture in German-speaking countries would certainly not be as strong! And of course a big thank you to Getquin - I've always dreamed of a platform like this! 0% bullshit, 100% investments.

I hope you like the revised version! The text is now more clearly structured, reads more smoothly and still retains your personal style.

Please let me know if you liked my story!

A little tip: My Bitpanda portfolio has a longer history, but I was too lazy to enter everything manually. I also didn't want to take over the history because, as I said, I wanted to start a new chapter in my investment history in November 2023. Overall, however, my crypto track is up €3000-4000.

Hello dear community,

I am very new to ETFs and would like some opinions or advice. At the moment I am investing in $CSPX (-0.58%) and $IUIT (-0.57%) . But since I have a very big heart for technology, I would like to invest in $XAIX (-0.79%) and $LOCK (+0.12%) in my portfolio in the future. Is this recommendable/too specific or are just 1-2 ETFs in this area enough for me?

Hello everyone,

Briefly about me: I am 26, an employee and also work in letting and leasing/special rental.

The two properties (market value +\- 10%) are now offset by loans of more €329,000 (nothing inherited 😉).

At 99%, this debt will soon increase by a further €150,000 and the real estate portfolio will grow a little again.

However, the cash will fall to +/- 0€, as the NK will be borne by the tenant.

I would like some suggestions and opinions on my portfolio.

Mainly on the subject of equities, as I'm still more of a newbie with about 3 1/2 years of "experience".

I still want to sell all the "meta bets" and park them in cash for the time being or invest them in the $LOCK (+0.12%) and the $XDWT (-0.58%) ETF ($ANET, $KLAC (-0.86%) , $CDNS (-1.24%) , $SNPS (-0.76%) , $QCOM (-0.23%) and $SYNA (-1.54%)).

Thank you!

Your opinion on $LOCK (+0.12%)
?

Actually I wanted to $LOCK (+0.12%) as a long-term position with a 1% weighting in the portfolio, but I'm having more and more doubts as to whether that would be a sensible decision...

Here are the points that are currently giving me a bit of a headache.

1) The good performers of this ETF would also be in the $IS3R (-0.7%) which I want to hold 25% in my portfolio in the long term.

2) Just because you think a sector will play a major role in the future doesn't mean that the prices of the stocks in this sector will all rise. Best example: $INRG (+0.77%) ! I only added this ETF to my portfolio because I think the sector is exciting for the future.

3) In addition, I'm already heavily invested in tech in general, which is why I'm considering whether it wouldn't be good for the diversification of my portfolio if I were to replace this position with, for example, an ETF. $RSG (-0.97%) , $PLD (+0.22%) or $DNP (-0.32%) for example.

I'll have a think about this this week and then see what I do... I've put the savings plan on hold for the time being.

I would be very interested to know what you $LOCK (+0.12%) what you think.

Could you imagine this ETF as a long-term position with a 1% weighting?

A small update on my portfolio:

• I have liquidated my small Alibaba position (€280) and my small Metaverse ETF position (€300). I wouldn't have dared to buy more Alibaba and such a small position doesn't make much sense.
• I invested the money in the $5OGE (-0.44%) and the $IS3R (-0.7%) These two ETFs should each make up 25% of my total portfolio in the long term; however, I'm still toying with the idea of weighting the two with only 20% and adding another 10%. $IEMA (+0.26%) in order to be better diversified in terms of regions
• I have just realized partial gains on my cryptos (not yet tracked) and have increased my $BTC (-0.55%) -position to €1,250 and my $SOL (+5.11%) -position to €500; the profits will also flow into the two ETFs
• The individual positions that are <€500 are still to be increased; $AAUKF and $LOCK (+0.12%) via a monthly savings plan and the rest with subsequent purchases

=> In the long term, I would like to cover 50% with the 2 to 3 large ETF positions and the remaining 50% with individual shares of quality companies

I would be very interested to know what you think of this strategy!

• Include EM ETF yes or no?
• Your opinion on $5OGE (-0.44%) and $IS3R (-0.7%) as a basis for a portfolio?
• Are there any individual stocks in my portfolio that you think are completely unsuitable as a long-term investment?

I am very keen to hear your opinions! 🙏🏼

Hi together

I am thinking about selling my share of $LOCK (+0.12%) with a small profit and then as an initial and one-time purchase in $1211 (-0.3%) , $AAPL (+0.13%) or $TSLA (+4.4%) as an initial and one-off purchase.

What do you think? Looking forward to your opinions :)

In my opinion, the industry is becoming increasingly important, but I couldn't decide on an individual company, hence the ETF $LOCK

The Great LoneMelon July Update:

Today I'm going to transparently re-update every analysis I've written here on Getquin so far.

Important to understand here is that when I trade by TA, I include daily and weekly events in my analysis. Therefore, what I wrote months ago may not be true today. However, for transparency reasons, I will update all analyses here exactly as I wrote them months ago and then write my explanations.

$CSNDX (-0.62%)

An analysis that took place under a post of Moritz @leveragegrinding has taken place.

Not officially on my profile, however, I have this already linked in the last update post so here again.

Chart No. 1

https://www.tradingview.com/x/xCS1Y6zq/

Update No. 1

https://www.tradingview.com/x/kOIZ3R1J/

Update no. 2

https://www.tradingview.com/x/vj4EMoGZ/

Update No. 3 (Current)

https://www.tradingview.com/x/Hiv3te71/

Unfortunately I don't have the chart here anymore so I had to tinker it together a bit. Also my layouts are different in the meantime. Therefore, do not be surprised it looks design technically somewhat different. But I left everything relevant in it.

We had here 3 trade ideas.

1x Long Entry at the zone of 11800 - 11400.

2x Short Entry - once between 12900 and 13100 and once at 13200-13800 with the volume imbalance at 13300.

Trade No. 1 (Long) this would be currently, if one had held it up to our short entries at approx. 15% or 3-5R (1R corresponds to what one risks from the portfolio. With good risk management these are approx. - 0,5-1%) Therefore approx. 1,5-5% of the depot value in the plus. If one would have held until 10.07.2023 approx. 7R or 30%.

Trade Nr.2 (Short Entry Nr.1) here we actually had a confirmation and a structural change on the daily chart. (This was not particularly impulsive) but transparently we take this quite normally. Accordingly, we have been stopped out here and have therefore lost 0.5-1% of the portfolio in this trade. Since we assume good risk management here and that is worked with a stop loss.

Trade Nr.3 (Short Entry Nr.2) has never given a confirmation.

Accordingly, conclusion for the Nasdaq chart from January 24, 2023:

Current performance would be about 1-4% up or depending on entry, trades and risk management so 1-6R (1-6x what was risked). Means currently profitable. However, it is quite clear to see here that I did not expect so strongly rising prices at that time. But as I said TA changes over time and therefore I would have to make continuous updates to reflect my clear opinion here. However, we also see that although the zones have not held we had in fact pretty much every zone a strong or semi-strong reaction in which certainly also trades on smaller time frames would have been possible.

Current chart:

Conclusion was 30€ more likely than 60€.

Since analysis now almost 20% lost with reactions at all our zones meanwhile it stands at 37€ and in the next months I could also imagine that our last targets will be reached.

$BAYN (+3%)

https://app.getquin.com/activity/sTjMuBBPmb?lang=de

Take Profit 1and Take Profit 2were achieved - meanwhile therefore in profit or stopped out at breakeven.

$ADS (-0.5%)

Entry has never been hit. Therefore irrelevant. However, still well above our original take profit 1.

$YOU (+0.37%)

Current image

https://www.tradingview.com/x/bzwPg9HI/

As you can see here, unfortunately, it did not work. However, we have never seen a weekly trend shift, which is the most relevant statement for us to recognize a truly sustainable trend change.

However, it remains with me on the watch list because I find the chart still attractive only so far we have unfortunately no clear confirmations. If one had bought here, however, one would have been stopped out at a loss. Optimally again 0.5-1R.

$TSLA (+4.4%)

https://app.getquin.com/activity/QSOKCAAnqn?lang=de&utm_source=sharing

TSLA has fallen slightly lower than expected at that time, so maybe you were stopped out maybe not. However, the confirmation for a good trade came later anyway.

Current chart:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/dAVCkstt/

If you had bought, you would be in any case very strong in the plus. TP1 and TP2 would have been hit by now and you would still have 30% of the position in the portfolio with a stop loss at breakeven and a take profit of 300.

$AAPL (+0.13%)

There was no chart here. And the short was therefore liquidated after take profit 1 on breakeven. Good example that it does not always work out as expected.

https://app.getquin.com/activity/MJKlRMNPxv?lang=de

In fact, I am still bearish on Apple and think we will give up very strongly again in the long term.

Tech shares post:

https://app.getquin.com/activity/kfGYQLdedI?lang=de&utm_source=sharing

$SHOP (-3.17%)

Price recovery has been achieved - let's see how low we correct - are actually currently bullish so my entry prices will probably not be reached.

As per last post. We are still at my recovery target of $50-65 Long term I still think we will correct sharply again.

$PYPL (-1.04%)

We were assuming an inevitable 62-55$ and an interesting price of 45$. Well that was 7 months ago I think everyone knows what happened with Paypal. 62-55$ worked out perfectly and we currently have a small recovery from the zone as well. Personally I see Paypal continuing to fall. My dear @BearStearnsCFO or also the generally known SOS spammer meant at that time, as well as with many of my current targets always that will not happen. I think so much about it... how did your Biontech trade actually go? You said you could trade the range super easy and without risk. Well shortly thereafter we are broken under it.

So much for small provocations within the community - but who permanently spams under everything SOS must... well I've already mentioned many times that this SOS spam is bullshit.

$SPOT (-1.25%)

Has not changed since my last update.

$SPYD (-0.08%)

In the meantime you can make an update here:

https://app.getquin.com/activity/vIFUcibKbt?lang=de

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/uZFF92Xy/

We've actually started to pick up the liquidity slowly here. I personally think that will continue. However, we are not yet clearly Bearish here. For this, a candle must first close below the marked lows. But currently everything is going according to plan.

$VOE (+0.64%)

https://app.getquin.com/activity/BuoOntxzof?lang=de

Update:

https://app.getquin.com/activity/BuoOntxzof?lang=de

After our Take Profit 1 and our move into the short entry area, we have corrected a bit for now. So that Take Profit 2 and 3 can still hit it is very important that the 28.5 hold. Otherwise, our short scenario comes to bear here completely and we see a strong correction. Who was long has taken profits and who is already short or plans to go short may also have a good trade opportunity.

Interesting chart - I will continue to monitor.

Digital Security:

https://app.getquin.com/activity/wHYKyvnqCf?lang=de

$LOCK (+0.12%)

https://www.tradingview.com/x/DLKl9kdb/

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/EgSgRG6E/

As you can see, our bullish weekly scenario has fully worked out so far. The liquidity was adjusted our volume imbalance filled and currently we are correcting. Currently, we still have no structural change. Currently, I would be cautious with trades because it looks bullish for now. However, we have just filled the liquidity and the volume imbalance - that would also speak for a potential manipulation and a correction below the Lows and the occurrence of our Bearishen scenario. I will continue to monitor the stock.

$NET (+1.74%)

https://www.tradingview.com/x/OZbI6QCe/

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/4gPdgdVN/

We have seen a very clear reaction on the order block here. Unfortunately, liquidity is still active therefore no clear bull scenario yet. Also, we do not have a structural change yet. However, as soon as we see this on a weekly basis, the share is highly interesting.

$CRWD (-4.82%)

https://www.tradingview.com/x/35bY3wFr/

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/QMaBN7CF/

It almost doesn't get any cleaner than this. Both the red and the blue have come out perfectly so far. Almost perfect reactions and corrections. Since I am almost surprised myself 😉

Currently, we are weekly but not yet bullish. As soon as we see a clear structural change here, I think the CRWD could also be highly interesting.

$PG (-1.31%)

https://app.getquin.com/activity/blGzZtuQpY?lang=de

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/yfNe3lNX/

Perfectly into our Snipe Entry and thereupon pumped up to our target - the liquidity at 154 approx. 15%. Currently, it looks to me more like a correction. The low at 141 must hold aufjedenfall so that a bullish scenario continues to prevail. Otherwise, the liquidity at 135 and possibly even 120 will probably be attacked.

$ABBV (+0.06%)

https://app.getquin.com/activity/kSzehgGVlI?lang=de

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/IXesJ7Cp/

We have broken through our missed sniper entry. And have attacked the planned liquidity. And moving towards our buy zone. Weekly Bearish broken and consequently still the optimal target of our Sniper Entry at $120-115.

$PFE (-2.72%)

https://app.getquin.com/activity/SiAwRmpvgg?lang=de

Update:

https://www.tradingview.com/x/JzcKiaOL/

We are continuing to fall on the bearish side. Our swing formation has not been completed and we are on the way to our marked liquidity. I personally find the stock interesting but for a purchase we need here first a really nice trend reversal on the weekly chart. Accordingly, the high at 40 and 42 is currently very interesting for us.

Conclusion:

So after this detailed post a big thank you if anyone actually read through this completely.

I would like to mention here again that TA always changes. I trade as often mentioned not according to any predictions, but in principle I have my structure - > My zones and levels where I expect reactions, and then I look if my structure changes into a trend change in my marked zones. So I trade practically always already, after the market has decided for a direction. Mostly, the prices always correct - even after a strong rise. Means usually one gets good Entries if one brings along simply something patience. So you also reduce losses, because you trade only after a confirmation and not trying to snipe the perfect point.

I actually think that my performance can be seen only with what was shared here on Getquin and also I have of course developed significantly since my first analyses.

I wish everyone a great start to the week. If you want to talk more about TA, feel free to add me on discord. Discord Tag: lonemelone

Greetings go out to all with whom I am regularly in contact on discord and of course to dear D.Duck 😉
