Without wanting to offend you, your friends are right in the sense that you should let it go if you don't change your behavior. Your portfolio history goes back to Nov. 2024, during which time you have made well over 100 sales and partial sales. Every share that went up by more than 3% was sold. With respect, that's not going to work. And according to your own statement, you now have your satellites and are looking for a core. Putting the cart before the horse. I'd like to cheer you up, but you write that your sense of construction is already in play again, which is not exactly the best prerequisite for long-term and successful investing. Yes, of course, sales and purchases are part of it, but the operational hustle and bustle that you have displayed over the last few months won't get you anywhere. Get really!!! clear about what you want, analyze the right stocks, ETFs or whatever and invest and see it through.

@Dividendenopi Thank you for taking a close look at this. I think this is a typical mistake for newcomers to the stock market. That's why my satellites are standing despite the negative return and now a core is coming around and running.

•@HappyJulienDay ok, let's get started. I'm not an ETF specialist, but your core looks reasonable. You now have your satellites nicely equally weighted, 40% would be a good 8k measured against your portfolio. Take half of that and get in and hold what the market demands of you. Add your monthly savings rate on the core. Use the rest of the cash for targeted acquisitions to the core if your gut feeling allows it, but not everything. And then let it run. In a year's time, you are welcome to report on how things have developed. Either we all cry together here or look forward to a mutual exchange
