Tesla with a buy recommendation and 40% upside potential + Alibaba with a new upswing + BMW shocks the automotive sector + Real estate stocks ahead thanks to interest rates - US inflation in view +

Tesla $TSLA (+6.06%) gained 4 percent to a good 225 US dollars. Deutsche Bank recommended buying the shares of the e-car manufacturer and identified 40% upside potential

Shares (including the ADR) of Alibaba $BABA (+3.75%) - $9988 (+3.32%) rose sharply as investors reacted to the news of the company's listing on the Chinese mainland stock exchanges. Alibaba announced its listing on the Southbound (SB) Connect late Monday. This came after the Chinese e-commerce company upgraded its Hong Kong listing to primary status last month, paving the way for its inclusion in the Stock Connect Scheme of China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges.

With a share price slump of 11.2 percent at BMW $BMW (+1.63%) investors reacted to two pieces of bad news: firstly, the margin had to be reduced to 6 to 7 percent due to recalls of brake systems, whereas the market had expected over 9 percent. Worse was the fact that the delivery forecast was also lowered, after a slight increase had previously been expected. RBC Capital Markets said that the warning undermined hopes for a better second half of the year. "This is an operational problem and of course cuts all analysts' expectations for sales growth," said one trader. The BMW statements therefore infected the entire sector.

Real estate shares were the only sector to hold their ground against the decline. In the DAX Vonovia $VNA (-2.87%) rose by 2.2 percent, Aroundtown $AT1 (+0.49%) even rose by 14 percent thanks to hopes of an interest rate cut. On Wednesday, US consumer prices are hoping for signals for the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision next week. Opinions differ as to whether the Fed will cut interest rates by just 25 basis points or 50 basis points. The ECB on Thursday is expected to cut rates by 25 basis points.

AI hype subsides + Insider buying at Dermapharm in the 2-digit million range + German government wants to reduce stake in Commerzbank + Real estate stocks benefit from interest rate hopes

Investors in the technology sector continue to take profits at the beginning of the seasonally rather poor stock market month of September. The previous day, European sector stocks had already come under pressure in the wake of the New York Nasdaq stock exchange, where semiconductor stocks in particular were sold off. This trend continued in European trading on Wednesday. Chip stocks also corrected in Asia amid somewhat disillusioned hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). In New York, the semiconductor index SOX had slipped by almost eight percent the previous evening, which, according to one trader, was the biggest daily loss since the coronavirus outbreak in March 2020. The AI favorite alone, the Nvidia $NVDA (+4.85%) had lost a good 280 billion US dollars in value in one day on Tuesday.

The pharmaceutical manufacturer Dermapharm $DMP (-0.78%) recently had to contend with significant declines in sales in some cases after the coronavirus pandemic subsided. However, the outlook for the branded pharmaceuticals manufacturer's core operating business is now brightening again, as evidenced by recent insider purchases in the double-digit million euro range. Dermapharm is also attractively valued fundamentally with a P/E ratio26e of 13.4 and a dividend yield of 2.6 %.

The threat of a placement of shares by the German government has put the shares of Commerzbank $CBK (-1.33%) shares on Wednesday, particularly at the start of trading. In the first few minutes, the Frankfurt-based bank's shares lost up to 4.4% in a weak market environment. However, with the gradual recovery of the DAX, they ultimately reduced their price loss to less than half. The state is planning its exit and wants to reduce its stake in a first step, according to the Federal Finance Agency. According to informed circles, sales of initially 3 to 5 percent are being discussed, reports the news agency Bloomberg.

German real estate stocks were among the best performers in the weak market on Wednesday. In addition to increasing hopes of interest rate cuts following recent weak economic data, a positive sector study by Kepler Cheuvreux provided support. Vonovia $VNA (-2.87%) was one of the best performers in the leading Dax index thanks to a price increase of around 0.8 percent. In the MDax of medium-sized listed companies TAG Immobilien $TEG (-2.17%) topped the list of winners with a plus of 3.2 percent, followed by LEG Immobilien $LEG (-0.88%) and Aroundtown $AT1 (+0.49%). Patrizia $PAT (+0.68%) took the top spot in the small cap index SDax with an increase of around 2.5 percent.

Hello dear community!

I would like your feedback on this concept portfolio. This is how I would have liked to invest my "assets".

About me:

I am 24 years old and am currently completing my 1st state examination in law. I'm not currently managing to save anything worth mentioning on a monthly basis. From October, I will probably be able to save around €2,500 for a few months before I start my legal traineeship with hardly any opportunity to save. I bought my first share in 2018, and the first warrants and Deka funds followed soon after. I made a lot of rookie mistakes in the fast lane and paid a lot of learning money. How lucky I was to get a bloody nose so quickly before I had extensive financial resources at my disposal.

The "strategy":

Anchors should be the Etfs with about 50%, divided into MSCI World and the EM IMI. The uncorrelated assets (greetings to @Epi ) should be the 10% gold and 20% crypto. In the backtest, this seemed reasonable to me with a maximum drawdown of 35% and a performance of 26% p.a., but I also have very little experience with backtests.

The high single stock component, which is separate from these considerations, is for my own personal enjoyment. I do not expect to beat the market. That is not my intention either. I want to keep investing fun and enjoyable, which will turn into interest and motivation to learn. My portfolio is small, so this relatively high proportion of individual stocks seems justifiable to me. My goal at the moment is to gain experience with a sufficient return to counter inflation. I am prepared to accept price losses of 50%.

My current portfolio still contains $AT1 (+0.49%) with a terrible performance. It seems wrong to sell the position in times of slowly falling interest rates. On the other hand, I have neglected to look at the company in sufficient depth to date, so the share simply has no right to exist in my portfolio.

Questions for you:

My thoughts so far are quite superficial. At the latest with the serious asset accumulation from the first salary onwards, a much deeper examination of my asset accumulation strategy seems necessary to me. Until then, however, I can take advantage of the small portfolio size to try things out and possibly miss out on performance, or do you see it differently?

How would you deal with $AT1 (+0.49%) deal with?

What do you think of my asset allocation?

Many, many thanks for everyone taking the time to read this and let me know your thoughts. You guys are awesome!
