Pain in Spanish stocks

$IBE (+0.68%)
$ITX (+0.24%)
$VIS (+0.67%)

From BBC:

US President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's White House news conference has now finished.

On Spain, he says is "going to cut off all trade" with the country, adding that he has told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to "cut off all dealings"

If you ask yourself why… Here is why:

“Spain's prime minister says he's clear. Pedro Sanchez took to social media, proclaiming "one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime… and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law".

A number of US aircraft left Spain on Monday after Madrid said those bases could not be used for attacks on Iran.”

Time to buy more i gues….

🚀 Mid-January Update: eToro Portfolio Surges to +5.01%!

We are almost at the mid-month mark, and the portfolio results are exceptional. Despite general market uncertainty, our strategy is paying off with a growth of +5.01%, bolstered by a strong push over the last few days.

🏆 Benchmark Challenge: 2026 Goals in Sight

As I previously shared, outperforming the major U.S. indices is one of my primary goals for 2026. Mid-January data confirms we are on the right track:

🟢 My eToro Portfolio (farlys): +5.01%

🔵 $SPX500: +1.66%

🟣 $NSDQ100: +2.04%

We are significantly beating Wall Street, currently trailing only the most volatile assets of the moment: $BTC (+0.47%) (+7.85%), the Japanese $JPN225 (+7.12%), and $GOLD (+6.2%). As a reminder, I manage my Bitcoin exposure in a private portfolio outside of eToro for security, but its rally validates the return of a global "risk-on" sentiment.

🔥 What drove the push in the last few days?

This jump above 5% isn't accidental. Three key factors moved the market this week:

Rotation to Value and Europe: We've seen capital rotating out of "overcrowded" U.S. Tech names into sectors with stronger fundamentals. This favored our positions in $UCG (+0.35%) (UniCredit Commercial Bank) (+1.16%), $BBVA (+3.27%) (+1.14%), and $IBE (+0.68%) (Iberdrola) (+1.29%), which offer solid dividends and more attractive valuations.

The Chinese Awakening: The Chinese tech sector received a fundamental boost from new government plans to integrate AI into manufacturing. This propelled $BABA (Alibaba-ADR) (+3.59%), which remains our main engine for the start of the year.

Macro Stability: Recent inflation data has reassured investors that central banks might not need to be more aggressive than expected, fueling the momentum for "risk-on" assets and discounted growth stocks.

🛠️ The Power of Rebalancing

These results are the direct outcome of the slight rebalancing performed at the beginning of January. Reducing weight in some U.S. tech giants that dominated 2025 (like $NVDA (-4.24%) NVDA (NVIDIA Corporation) or $MSFT (-1.09%) (Microsoft), which are currently flat or slightly red in our heatmap) to pivot toward the Asian recovery and European banking solidity has allowed us to capture this "extra-return" compared to general indices.

🎯 Outlook

Beating the $SPX500 and $NSDQ100 by about 3 percentage points in just two weeks is a perfect start to our annual goal. The road is long, but our geographic and sectoral diversification is proving to be our best compass for navigating 2026.

How is your year starting? Are you keeping up with the Gold/Nikkei rally or are you still heavily anchored to U.S. indices? Let me know in the comments! 👇

And the Winner is...

...honestly exactly who I expected (and for myself also felt was the top pick in the selection).😁👍🏻

$ADBE (+2.86%) is really too cheap in my view at the current valuation. As mentioned in one of my comments, I really believe that the market is severely underestimating Adobe.

2nd place is shared by $APH (-0.92%) and $IBE (+0.68%) . As I currently have a very strong growth exposure in my portfolio anyway, the 2nd part of my special savings plan is therefore going into $IBE (+0.68%) .

Unfortunately, comdirect no longer allows the execution date of January 15, so the savings plans will only be executed on January 23. But it doesn't matter, as it's free, the money will only go back into the market a week later.🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you very much for your active voting, your comments and your opinions.🙏🏻

$APH (-0.92%) and $SHOP (+1.21%) will definitely end up high up on my list for future special savings plans.

"Special savings plan" in January

Hello Community,

After $K0MR (+1.5%) has been kicked out of my securities account today, there are once again 2 unscheduled increases in my savings plan.

A total of 2 of my existing positions are to be fed in equal parts. As I myself am currently wavering between a total of 4 of my existing stocks, which currently have (partly also fundamentally) very different valuation levels, future prospects, etc., but I would like to increase them all further anyway, I thought that this time I would leave the choice to you as to where the freed-up Kommer millions should go.😂

The choices are:

The two candidates with the most votes by noon tomorrow will (hopefully) be added to the list on January 15.

So please vote and comment (so that you can also tell me why you voted for which value and what your 2nd choice would be😉), I'm looking forward to the result, your comments and your motivations.✌🏻

Iberdrola: a position that was born from scratch and that time has backed up

When I decided in February 2024 to create a new portfolio from scratch, it was clear to me that I wanted to build it on fundamentals and not on impulses. In the process, Iberdrola came almost naturally. It was not carrying over old positions or inertia from the past: it was a deliberate choice. I looked at its price, its ability to generate stable cash flow and the way the company balances renewable growth with a robust regulated business. Everything fit, and the valuation at the time seemed reasonable for a power company with proven strength.

Over the months, the decision has made more sense. The share price has not exploded or made strident headlines, but it has followed a path that I value even more: that of slow validation. Iberdrola has strengthened its networks, has expanded renewable capacity with discipline and has maintained a contained level of debt, which is particularly relevant in a still demanding interest rate environment. It did not need to reinvent itself; it simply continued to stick to its plan.

My initial thesis - that of a predictable, efficient company with sufficient medium-term visibility - has not only been maintained, but strengthened. Iberdrola has been able to absorb regulatory pressures, manage costs and sustain its margins without compromising its roadmap. And when a power sector giant continues to deliver consistent results, the market tends to correct any initial discount. That's just what I've seen since I added it to my new portfolio.

Today I look back on that purchase with the peace of mind of having built a position from scratch at a point that, with hindsight, has proven to be right. Iberdrola offers no big surprises, but it does offer a kind of reward that I value more and more: that of moving steadily forward, even when the market isn't looking. And that steady pace is, in the end, what has validated the price at which I decided to enter.

At this point, I approach the position with a flexible approach: keep it as a stable pillar of the portfolio, but do not rule out a slight profit-taking if the stock enters a clear overvaluation phase. Even so, the risk of being left out of a sustained growth cycle is still there, because Iberdrola has room to continue expanding renewable capacity and improving returns in networks. Therefore, rather than closing the door, I prefer to adjust it, letting the position breathe without losing sight of the fact that the company still has a long way to go.

My goal, your opinion

Greetings,

I generally don't think much of posts on feeds from any media, as they don't bring me any added value but merely serve to present myself. Now that I have followed the publications and reactions a bit, I think I have seen more than less constructive members here.

For this reason, I have decided to make the first post of my life here. It's not directly about sums, I just want to ask for your assessment of my savings plan and target allocation. Constructive criticism and suggestions for improvement are expressly welcome.

The whole thing is intended to reflect a core-satellite strategy with a 1:1 risk/reward ratio.

Global diversification (core) - 60%:

Individual securities (satellites) - max. 20%:

Buffer (security) - approx. 20%:

Raw materials:

$IGLN (+1.37%) - 6%,,
$CMOE (+0.2%) - 4%,

Bonds:

$0GGH (+0.16%) - 6%,

Real estate:

$IWDP (+1.33%) - 4%.

My thought process should be clear. The core should cover global performance with a percentage distribution based on economic strength. Separately, the World Health Care ETF, as people are getting older and sicker and, in my opinion, the healthcare sector is not so strongly represented in the other ETFs.

For the satellites, my thought process is as follows:

Berkshire can be seen as an ETF and covers successful individual stocks.

Nothing works without energy, hence BWX (USA) and Iberdrola (Europe). I see digital security threatened by AI and the further development of data centers etc., hence CrowdStrike. Companies will always need good software to be able to expand and still keep track of things, hence HubSpot. In connection with AI and the armed conflicts in our world, I see drones as a future-oriented technology in all possible areas, hence AeroVironment. And I discovered Intellia as a medical catapult, which is admittedly a bit of a gamble, but always gets a lot of drugs into the test phase.

I don't think I need to say much about the buffers, as in my view these are the investments that remain stable or grow in difficult market phases when everything else is falling.

This gives you a little insight into my thinking and actions. Please don't tear it apart, I'm not a professional but I'm sacrificing some of my remaining free time to get a bit of an insight into the world of capital and maybe get a small slice.

I welcome any opinions and suggestions for improvement.

I wish everyone a successful week!

Best regards

Nils

It's great that you dared to do it, that's what the community thrives on. 💪

About your portfolio:
It looks well-organized and well thought-out at first. The devil lies in various risks that you rarely see. I hope you're aware of them.

1. drawdown: Your portfolio has a certain risk on the currency side. Your ETFs are all unhedged, so your portfolio will lose significantly if the USD falls.

2. diversification: Most of your portfolio is highly correlated. I estimate >0.8, i.e. if one position falls, most of the others will fall too.

3. liquidity: Your portfolio essentially depends on the liquidity situation of the markets, especially the USA. There are already dark clouds on the horizon. If there is a liquidity squeeze, your portfolio will be defenseless.

4th strategy: You are only pursuing a single strategy, i.e. virtually no diversification on this side. B&H has done well for the last 15 years, 2000-2011 was terrible. I would diversify here.

Good luck!

Today's market is showing a mixed but generally positive tone across key sectors. While some tech giants are lagging, traditional finance, certain industrials, and defensive plays are showing strength, indicating a selective "risk-on" sentiment.

🇺🇸 US Equities (Pre-market/Early Trading)

$SPX500 — Trading solidly higher, driven by positive sentiment in various sectors, though tech is mixed.

$DJ30 — Moving up, reflecting broad positive sentiment.

$NSDQ100 — Showing mixed performance, with some mega-cap tech names under pressure.

A mixed picture in tech, with strong gains but also significant losses:

$GOOGL (+3.67%) — Up strongly, showing robust performance in the mega-cap tech space.

$MSFT (-1.09%) — Down significantly, acting as a drag on the overall tech sector.

$TSM (+0.83%) — Up slightly, showing resilience in the chip sector.

$AVGO (+0.49%) — Up strongly, participating in the semiconductor rally.

$RGTI (+8.01%) — Up sharply, outperforming as some speculative growth names find renewed interest.

🛍️ Retail & Commerce

A strong day for retail and e-commerce, recovering from previous sessions:

$AMZN (+3.75%) — Up, participating in the mega-cap rally.

$BABA (+0.72%) — Up strongly, showing a significant rebound in the Chinese retail sector.

GER40 — Trading higher, reflecting the positive sentiment.

$LDO (+2.12%) — Up strongly, the defense sector is showing significant strength.

$IBE (+0.68%) — Trading slightly lower, utilities lag as investors move towards growth.

🏦 Banking & Finance

A very strong day for European financials, leading the overall market higher:

💰 Crypto

$BTC (+0.47%) / $ETH (+0.68%) / $TRX (+1.1%) — Likely moving lower, following the general risk-on mood.

🔎 Deep Dive: Sector Rotation and Resilience

Today's market highlights a clear sector rotation. Investors are re-engaging with European financials and select tech names, while taking profits in others. The strong rebound in $BABA suggests a renewed, albeit cautious, appetite for growth. The strength in Gold ($GLD) alongside some equity gains is particularly noteworthy, indicating a complex sentiment where both risk-taking and wealth preservation are at play.

🔎 Deep Dive: The "Quality Growth" Rally

Today is a "flight to quality growth." The market is not buying everything; it is highly selective. There is clear strength in established Tech ($NVDA, $GOOGL) and a massive rally in European Banks ($BPE.MI, $BBVA.MC). However, there is clear weakness in Chinese Retail ($BABA, $SHOP) and speculative Tech ($RGTI, $RKLB). This divergence signals that investors are willing to take risks, but only on assets with strong fundamentals or clear momentum, while dumping assets exposed to Chinese macro or high speculation.

4. The Defensives:Gold ($GLD (+1.16%) ) is flat, while Pharma ($LLY (+8.82%) ) and European financials ($CS (+1.85%)

) are weak.

It is pronounced Nu-cu-lar

Donald & Friends have unfortunately thwarted my investment plan somewhat.... (for now)

Since I have just presented my entry and the topic, including the "missed" opportunity, is close to my heart, I will probably work through it right away.

To cut a long story short, when I started investing, I actually wanted to put everything into nuclear technology stocks, but when I started without thinking, some doubts caught up with me. Absolute newcomer to investing, everyone advises me to buy something else, the field is still relatively unexplored.

After I had made my first purchases $CCO (+7.23%) and $UEC (+10.08%) (at the current high at the time) I became humble for the first time, after a short time around -25%.

On the WL were $BWXT (+3.79%) and $LEU (+8.88%) (bought here briefly and thought we were massively overvalued at 60 euros 🤣)

Fast forward, I preferred to bet on stable stocks, including dividend payers, and deviated from my gut feeling, as it already seemed a bit risky.

The nuclear sector has done incredibly well, even I didn't expect that and somehow I don't see an end at the moment.

I had planned this month/beginning of next month to finally get into $NXE (+6.36%) and increased my position in $CCO (+7.23%) to around 70 euros after the small correction. So far everything seemed fine, we have fallen. I wanted to increase my Cameco position in the range of approx. 65-70 euros and also enter Nexgen.

After my small regrouping in the portfolio, there was enough money left over to enter Nexgen "in time" and I collected my first 100 shares on October 24. The next day (I should have been happy) I was shocked when Cameco shot up and the 80b$ deal was done.....

The joy of my first share with +100% is definitely there, but I would have liked to buy a lot more, as I see much more potential.

Now I'm currently thinking about how the market will realign itself, you read more and more about the sector, more and more people think uranium is great and apparently we're only now moving up again? But wasn't that also the case at the beginning of '24? Back then I bought blindly, and shortly afterwards the sell-off came. The shares were "overvalued" and still outperformed.

Where are we now? To be honest, I wanted to add to the stock before the deal and see what happens during/after the Nuclear Exhibition in Paris from 04-06 Nov happens.

Since the prices have already run away, possibly also due to profit-taking, I will probably wait until the situation calms down and the exhibition is over.

For me, however, nothing has changed in principle, I won't be selling any more shares in CCO/NXE but rather adding to them. I'm still super bullish and won't let myself be influenced too much.

Why is $CCO (+7.23%) an investment?

Absolute blue chip in the nuclear sector with solid figures
All-rounder - uranium is mined in its own high-yield mines and is also processed in a wide variety of ways
Shareholder in Westinghouse (service; maintenance)
Partnerships with Bruce Power & Nordion (Co-60 provision / Healthcare)
Moat (regulations, expertise, etc.)

When talking about a renaissance, Cameco cannot and should not be excluded. There are many long-term contracts in this industry, the manufacturer/producer can virtually choose its customers and call up prices. If you don't get nuclear fuel in time, you can't supply energy (predictable income).

The push is becoming more and more real, which country apart from Germany is NOT talking about an extension of operating times and new builds?

In 2023, the nuclear phase-out in Spain was still unchallenged, and there are currently plans to extend the Almaraz NPP, for example $IBE (+0.68%)

The same is currently being discussed in the Netherlands; Borssele is to continue operating and also offer a site for new reactors.

In addition to Cameco, I have added Nexgen to my portfolio $NXE (+6.36%)

Is in a good financial position (dilution will come)
Has promising projects
Management seems to know what is important
Unfortunately only a pure uranium supplier, should it come to production
(My thought, if it gets that far possibly interesting for a takeover see above)

I continue to find the sector super exciting and am looking forward to whatever may come, if prices remain high I will probably buy more anyway. Despite the "hype", I think there is still a lot of potential here, although the relatively high risk should also be kept in mind.

If something unforeseen happens here, the furnace can be out again immediately.

What do you think about this sector, do you think we are more than overvalued or is there still potential? I would be delighted to hear your thoughts on this.

Until then 🧐

I have a problem with $CCO at the current level. While researching the sector last week, I read that $CCO has sold out all uranium production for the next 3-4 years via long-term contracts. This means that there is hardly any room for positive surprises as the prices are fixed. The only thing that can develop better is the service business. As I tend to focus on small caps myself, I would now prefer other players. I therefore already have $UUUU, and also very speculatively $EL8. I also find $NXE interesting.
