Best vs. Worst Investment

Inspired by @SGEJan I took a look at what is my best and worst investment I ever had.

My happiest investment is Super Micro Computers $SMCI , however, I already sold off a large portion of that some time ago. Combined with the ones I still hold, the total return is now 41.5%. I first became aware of SMCI in early 2021.

My worst investment was $IAG (International Consolidated Airline Group). I bought IAG during the Corona crisis with the approach that after Corona the airline industry would boom again. Unfortunately, I forgot to factor in the massive layoffs and the resulting complications for the airline market and lost quite a chunk. If only I'd had getquin back then 🤓.

Fortunately, however, I had more SMC than IAG, so the whole thing is good to take.

The format best / worst investment I find exciting, now I nominate @MAXICONRAD & @Boersenape blank myself!

Challenges, the chain letters of the 2020s

First things first: If you read the headline (yes, the headline is enough), you will only see red numbers in your portfolio. Unless you follow me or respond, comment or share this post. The more you do, the greener your depot will be. Extra points if you use my Ref-Links in my profile and comment and share my old and new posts.

But back to the topic. In the last 2 weeks there were a few challenges here, to which also the old donkey was nominated. I'll do my duty then.

Sports Challenge from @TheAccountant89

5km jogging? Phew, I've never jogged 5km before. With techno dancing like @Lorena I can't serve you with techno dancing either, only Matze comes to my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKNydTudRYo . I'm more of a headbanger to good rock and metal songs, but unfortunately I didn't record the last Circle Pit. My usual training I also do not record, so I just actually put me for about half an hour on the treadmill and ran the 5km. Proof is in the attachment. I hope you are proud of me @TheAccountant89 - especially because I was faster than you 😁!

You can see my best investment in my portfolio - of course $BTC with currently +375%. As soon as the Goxcoins land in my wallet this year or next year, this performance will be pulverized and increased many times over - even if the Bitcoin should actually fall to 10k USD again.

My worst investment is coke. To push the purchase price, I buy more every week, but end up at the end of each week back at -100%. @Barsten do you have a tip for me?

The best decision of my life was my distance learning alongside my full-time job. This allowed me to develop professionally and personally and I learned a lot.

The worst decision of my life was my distance learning alongside my full-time job. It cost me my entire 20s.

My personal favorite challenge. I love the little Nuremberg bratwursts at breakfast buffets in hotels. Especially when you combine them with pineapple slices. Yes, you read that right, you Pizza Hawaii haters! A breakfast is only complete when there are Nuremberg sausages and pineapple. Try this combo the next time you're enjoying a high-end hotel breakfast buffet. Even if it sounds strange at first, it's an unforgettable taste experience!

I'm not nominating anyone for the challenges, we're not in the 90s anymore.

(Supposedly) Bad and Good Investments

Currently seems to be #bestworst to trend on Getquin. And since no one invites me to join this illustrious round, probably because they do not trust me such a fun (shame on you! 😘), I just participate anyway...

But I would not be the dad, if I do not expand the whole thing a bit... 😉

Worst Investment:

Currently $FTNT on the last place with -24,20% in the portfolio.

I got to know this company at work and unfortunately recognized it quite "late" as a potential candidate. Fortinet is supposed to be my international counterpart to Secunet Security, which rather covers the D-A-CH area in the EU.

Best Investment:

The $MSFT with +84,88% is currently in first place among the best investments, should not be surprising. In the meantime it was also over 100%, similar to $RDSA and my alltime favorite $ST5 were and are on the move in these spheres...

And what is still missing now?

Best life choices, worst life choices.... #bwlifechoice

Worst Life Choice:

Not to have married my wife earlier, so that grandma and grandpa could see how happiness became perfect (10 years unmarried with wife together). They knew you just as long, both grandparents unfortunately died shortly before the wedding.

Best Life Choice:

To have chosen life. For my son, my wife, our house.

And now it's your turn!

What were your top 4 choices (Best Investment, Worst Investment, Best Life Choice and Worst Life Choice)?!

Additionally I nominate @Europoor
@GoDividend
@Staatsmann
@Barsten
@DonkeyInvestor
@christian for exciting insights... for some of them already the #bestworst kicked, but just to #bwlifechoice I am interested in your stories.

All others may also consider themselves invited!

#bestworst thanks to @GoDividend

#bestinvest Of course 🍎 with 460% ⬆️

January 2017 Depot opened and thought about what I could buy for share, at the same time has some Warren Buffett🤔😂 a billion amount invested in Apple and I thought well you can too and immediately 3300€

reingebuttert, since then I have the position no longer expanded

#shitstock a handle in the loo was Gazprom which I still have in the depot but with O€ value and thus 💯⬇️1000€ 🔥

Of course it is with Gazprom also bad luck and has in addition still political reasons, so I still mention Corestate Capital with 96% ⬇️ where I personally made the biggest mistake 😂 the position is only worth 40€ 😂

Your turn 😁

Best v.s. Worst Investment 📈📉

Evening all @markusnowak Was wondering what my best v.s. worst investing was, so I thought I'd share.

Worst:

$VOW3 Volkswagen: I got into VW at 179 and managed to get out at 230. I then had them on the watchlist until 175 and then invested. At the moment I have a total performance of -25%. Learning - "Never catch a falling knife

Best:

$XPEV Xpeng: In Summer 2021, Tesla had super gains and I thought to myself, what else is there. Then I came to Xpeng where I sold with 63%.

I still hope for a 100% return, but may it also be safe to be, let's see what happens the next few years so.

What about you @oliverplass ? Do you have other investments besides bitcoin? And with you @_Gonzo
$BBBY?

#bestinvest 👑 as far as I can trace it, my top one is

$SHEL Shell with 81% (still in the portfolio)

#shitstock a grab in the toilet 💩 was Paypal $PYPL with -31% (out 😅 pays no dividend anyway 💸)

Special: Traffic light decides 3rd relief package

Over the weekend, the German government approved the third relief package worth around 95 billion euros. Part of the package is, among other things, the plan to introduce an "electricity price cap" financed by a "reverse EEG levy". Other measures include one-off payments to pensioners and students, the plan to introduce a digital nationwide "60-euro ticket" and to bring the citizen's income into line with inflation. What do you think of the package? Will it help you?

So and because no one has asked I also times with the #bestworst challenge!

Worst investment: Alibaba

whole -50%...

admittedly, stupid of me not to have sold long ago, but now I will also part with them. China I no longer want in the portfolio. Since it was a fairly small position I have not done so yet.

Best investment:

Adobe, +80%

Probably the best example that holding long is the best "trick" to investing. Mainly because I bought the stock back in 2018, it is up so much. However, it has been significantly meh in the green before, I will still hold it.

Also, I found the #bwlifechoice from @InvestmentPapa very cool. For this I write maybe next week something else.

Otherwise I nominate times @JuliusVonSylt that should be funny.

LG

Jamo!

#bestworst I just nominated myself!

Best: $TSLA 📊 +75,61%

Got inspired by Cathie Woods and always thought Tesla was pretty nice too.

Worst: $BNGO
aka.
Bionano Genomics 📊 -22.5%

Got seduced by Cathie Wood here too and went in with no idea.

Learning = At least know what the company does and not listen to the hype ❕

I nominate @LukeMcRich and @MaximilianSei ! Would be interested in

#bestworst

Since now virtually everyone posts what his best and worst investments were I will not hold back.

My #bestes investment was Intellia Therapeutics $NTLA . Bought at 60.52 € and sold at 119.90 €. Were a whole 97% return!

My #worst Investment was Beyond Meat $BYND with minus -19,94%. I find their mission very nice and would find it very very good if the prevail. Unfortunately, they have not (yet) made it. Meanwhile, there are also so many alternatives and I wonder if they can become really big again. I would wish it in any case.

In general, I have also seen with most others that the losses are limited. Getquin users apparently know what they are doing 💪
