First milestone reached - €10,000! 🎉

Before the moment is over again, I would like to take a moment to celebrate my first small milestone: after almost a year of active trading, I have reached €10,000.

Most of the time I was still a student - with small savings rates, a lot of curiosity and learning by doing (and many mistakes). I've now been working as an engineer for a month and can invest properly for the first time. I'm excited to see where the journey will take me.

I am pursuing a long-term growth strategy, but I also like the charm of dividends as a motivator. With half of the bonuses, I will probably buy individual shares or burn a penny or two by gambling.

I know things aren't going perfectly, but I'm prepared to learn from mistakes and constantly question my strategy.

One small fly in the ointment: my Mercedes shares are currently still blocked.

I look forward to your feedback, experiences and tips - on the subject of crypto, I'm still torn as to whether I've missed the party.

It's a milestone that shouldn't be neglected - I remember what it was like for me almost 6 years ago. The first time I hit five figures was really cool. In the meantime, I've cracked the 100k threshold for a few months now, sometimes under and sometimes over depending on the volatility, and I can tell you it's worth staying on the ball.
My tip. With a pure etf / real estate / gold portfolio I would have reached my goal 20k faster. But I have 45% etf / gold / real estate and 55% individual stocks....because it's just "fun" but whether it's worth it I dont know apparently not.....

Your portfolio doesn't look too bad. I just wonder why so many positions below €50 would be far too unprofitable for me. What do you expect? The risk/return is disproportionate in my opinion. Then it's better to bundle into one share that you like for €500-1000, the others can be added to the portfolio at some point

@Lasse_1996 Thanks for your feedback, I also like the certain appeal of individual stocks, which I found very interesting. The small positions are new and were generated for the first time through an ongoing savings plan.

Why so many small stocks with so little capital if you are investing for the long term?

My experience is that if you want to build up long-term growth, it is better to be invested in a broadly diversified ETF (e.g. MSCI ACWI IMI) and save in it. And then, if you like, also invest in individual companies.

But having such a small amount of capital in such a fragmented way only costs you order fees, so that in the end it is just as scattered as in an ETF.

Thank you very much for your feedback. This is exactly the tactic I am currently pursuing. The majority is invested in an MSCI World. The small positions are additionally saved via a savings plan, which was implemented for the first time and is therefore small. My aim is to invest around €300 per year in each of these shares until I have built up a sensible position.
