Beat the S&P500 Challenge

I have been thinking about which stocks I could use to beat the S&P500 index.

After a lot of research, I have now decided on 20 American shares, which I will save 100 euros/month each in savings plans from 01.04.2024. As I didn't want any overlaps/duplications with my ETFs (World and Consumer Staples), I chose companies from the second tier. Perhaps one or two of the stocks will also be of interest to you 😉

The portfolio will contain the following shares:

$AME (+1.27%)

$APH (+3.58%)

$ANET (+2.74%)

$AJG (-3.46%)

$CMG (+1.05%)

$FIX (+6.33%)

$EME (+4.8%)

$IT (+0.98%)

$HUBB (+2.71%)

$INTU (+2.94%)

$KAI (+6.6%)

$KLAC (+4.58%)

$MMC (-1.07%)

$MEDP (+1.86%)

$MOH (-1.86%)

$RSG (+0.47%)

$SNPS (+1.89%)

$URI (+2.26%)

$VRTX (+0.36%)

$GWW (+1.28%)

I know that it will be difficult to beat the S&P500, but I still want to try...

Veganz - The Berlin-based company is planning to go public in the next few months. The offering volume is expected to be around 50 million euros. The targeted 35 million euros in gross proceeds are to be invested in a new production facility and in the growth of the company, which specializes in vegan and plant-based products.

USA - The extreme backlog of container ships on the West Coast is to be relieved by making the Port of Los Angeles operate around the clock. Currently, there are about 500 thousand containers on board waiting to be cleared.

Especially fashion groups specializing in fast fashion are hit hard by the delivery bottlenecks, as Asian goods are very much behind schedule. Both H&M ($HMSB (+1.5%)), Bohoo ($1B9 (+2.95%)), as well as ASOS ($DYQ (-0.76%)) are complaining about the current situation and expect further delays and rising raw material prices.

Volkswagen ($VOWA) - The automotive group wants to make production more efficient. VW CEO Diess has presented scenarios in the meeting of the control body with a strong reduction of jobs, which should affect up to 30,000 employees. This would mean that every 4th employee would be affected by the job cuts.

However, this measure is only to come into effect if the Group fails to make the transition to e-mobility quickly enough. Diess wants to compete with Tesla in the future, which plans to produce 500 thousand cars per year in Grünheide in the future.

U.S. Becomes Bitcoin Stronghold - In the United States, the Bitcoin hash rate of 35% now ranks #1 in the world. The mining ban by the Communist Party of China is hitting Chinese miners hard. But as a result, other countries are benefiting greatly. Even Germany is overtaking China, currently carrying 4.5% of the Bitcoin hash rate. However, it is possible that Chinese miners, disguised by a VPN, continue their business in other countries.
