Ares Capital added to the portfolio

Somehow I think I'm rebuilding the depot from @Dividendenopi after.

$BATS (-0.18%) , $RIO (+1.73%) , $DTE (+1.42%) , $PFE (-0.11%) , $ARCC (+0.22%) - all identical.

Instead of $ALV (+1.64%) I have $MUV2 (-0.09%) , Instead of $HAUTO (-1.3%) I have $WAWI (-1.3%) . 🙂

I missed HSBC, I was too slow. The ETF position is different and @Dividendenopi there is even more "smoke" in the portfolio with other tobacco stocks...

Good decision 😊

Welcome to the club 😁, take a look at the portfolio at @SAUgut777, you'll see some familiar things there, and you'll notice some overlaps between our two portfolios. However, we've gone a bit astray in the last few months, I'm out of $MUX and $VICI and he's out of $PETR4, me too in the meantime. $VAR is still a nice energy stock outside the big groups, but Norway with a refund for withholding tax

@Dividendenopi Yes, @SAUgut777 is also very similar. I think it all goes in the same direction in terms of the considerations and the focus.

@NichtRelevant We are more the regular cash flow generating faction. To each his own, others are into crypto or tech, everyone must and should be happy with their strategy and be able to sleep more or less peacefully.

@Dividendenopi Absolutely. Exactly my opinion. Especially if you are younger, it probably makes sense to focus on price growth and take a more progressive approach. For me, however, cash flow is important and I don't really need high volatility in my portfolio.

Of course, I would sometimes like to add a few small-cap tech stocks to my portfolio, but I try to stay disciplined. 😅

@NichtRelevant yes, the gambling child in everyone 😁I have my trading portfolio with a fixed budget, so I can let off steam. When the money is gone, it's gone, but so far it's gone well and it's increased. But I don't use it additionally, I use it to go shopping, for example 😇

Would have preferred $MAIN

@Pezi Also an exciting title, but unfortunately the resource money is now somewhat limited again 😉.

@Pezi You should actually use both, as they pursue different strategies. Compared to ARES, however, MAIN is more of a chip shop. However, this only relates to their sheer size. And they normally react in opposite directions to interest rate changes in the short term. Can complement each other well

@Dividendenopi I'm not saying that Ares is bad. I've held both in my portfolio. But if I had to choose, I would go for Main Street, as they have a leaner cost structure and stronger dividend growth...

@Pezi The day after tomorrow Main Street will publish the figures, maybe I'll even get back in...at 42 euros I could get weak....

Dividendenopi👴@Dividendenopi

@Pezi nobody said that either. Each title has its merits, which is why I said that both make sense. I've been lurking around $MAIN for months and have decided in favor of $ARCC for the time being. There is a high probability that I will soon place a first tranche at $MAIN, which is also in an attractive range at the moment

@Pezi but that would be a huge setback 😇I wouldn't have to think twice and would be in...

@Pezi Also interesting in this context is today's press release https://www.mainstcapital.com/investors/news-events/press-releases/detail/2750/main-street-announces-second-quarter-2026-regular-monthly

Don't think Main street will go down to €45, but it would be nice 🧐

••

Pezi@Pezi

@market_sorcerer_ppdyf well, they've already come down 11 euros from their ATH, so I don't see the last 3-4 euros to your 45 euros as unrealistic. Not immediately after the quarterly figures, but in the next few months.

I would get in at 42-43 euros...if they don't reach that, that's fine with me...I also think Ares Capital at 14.xx euros is realistic...
