The regular savings plan with 930 € in the S&P 500 was executed as usual. This basis offers stability and long-term diversification in the portfolio.

Bitcoin $BTC (-0.36%)

Sales:


Altria Group $MO (-1.99%)
The position was sold with a plus of just under 30 % which corresponds to a volume of 1.340 € corresponds to a volume of €1,340. The tobacco giant no longer fits in with the growth strategy, which focuses on innovative and future-oriented companies.

Nice list. However, if you're already pulling out the restructuring hammer at Hercules Capital at -2.38% per month, then there's not much to your conclusion of "patience" and "autopilot"... 🧐

@Dividenden-Penner I may have worded it incorrectly. Hercules Capital should not leave the portfolio because of the negative monthly performance, but because the share does not fit in with the share price growth project. The share is a leftover from the high dividend portfolio phase.
@Aktienmasseur Allianz is also anything but a growth stock.
