Hello dear investors
I am the yield puppy 😉 and I would like to introduce you to my Chaos portfolio.
Briefly about me:
I'm turning 19 this year and started taking over my childhood portfolio, which was managed by my father, when I was 15.
At the time, the account consisted of around €8,000 in ETFs and an additional €15,000 in cash, saved for my studies, which I didn't dare touch at the time.
So 2021 is my financial birth year, at least in terms of building up knowledge, which is also a very important asset. In the beginning, I only watched videos from Finanzfluss and later also read the Handelsblatt, which my father loves to read.
Since then, I have invested all the money that was available to me - as pocket money or from various jobs - initially only "safely" in the MSCI World.
Over time, I decided that I enjoyed being more active in the market and I started to look more closely at economic news in order to identify good opportunities.
I then traded thematic ETFs, which in hindsight was profitable overall, but a poor bet compared to the MSCI as a benchmark.
The AI ETF was the only one in profit and outperformed the MSCI. Green Energy and Space flopped massively.
All in all, a meagre result, but I learned at the time that experiments from which I can draw experience like this are a thousand times more valuable than just the financial increase in value.
So the journey continued, but now with the motivation to actively learn and make mistakes.
The next step was shares. After some research, I decided to invest in$META (-1.04%) and $GOOGL (-1.76%) decided to invest. The motives for this should be well known. I have held $META ever since, as my entry was pretty good.
$GOOGL (-1.76%) In the meantime, I have already sold and bought it again.
But my search for good stocks continued and during my research I came across Getquin, where I have not only been tracking my portfolio ever since, but have also been a silent reader and have benefited from a great deal of expertise.
With a broad spectrum of information options and many opinions, the portfolio has now exploded with individual stocks. I know that this is very unpopular here on Getquin, and I also know myself that it is better to have fewer shares and, above all, a strategy.
However, I am still interested in trying things out. I'm years away from being even a good investor, but I'm improving and learning every day.
My most important lesson so far has come from using leverage. I initially tried it out with crypto via Bitget, because my circle of friends was into crypto leverage hype and some had a lot of luck. Here, too, I just wanted to try out what works and, above all, how.
Of course, I did my research beforehand and knew about the risks. However, I think you learn best from your own experience, so I deposited €30 and just got started.
After a few very questionable YouTube videos and a little time, I had traded my capital up to just under $300. In hindsight, there's no question: more luck than sense and the advantage that the courses didn't know any losses.
However, when the money increased tenfold, my emotions took over and today I have a balance of around $2 on Bitget.
This is an example of how mistakes can make you better in the long run because I am now more careful to let my emotions out and only invest in crypto 1:1.
My journey to this point has enriched my knowledge more than anything else. Even if my Chaos portfolio is still far from perfect, the rule here is: puppy protection 😂
I just wanted to share my story because I am very grateful for the many informative posts and exciting stories I have read here. Especially valuable comments - the more critical, the better - enrich Getquin considerably in my opinion.
It really is a great community. Many thanks ❤️
Greetings from 🐶
