Grandpa's equity fund is running away from me. I'm buying at the all-time high!

$VWRL (-0.89%)

I'm throwing all plans overboard and buying the remaining 50 shares today, now, immediately.


Done: https://ibb.co/Z1FZBQ85


I've done the math, if Grandpa's share fund corrects 4%, I'll have a saving of around €230 on 50 shares compared to buying outright. 🤣


It's not worth mentioning that in five or ten years it won't matter whether I bought at €13x or €141.


This approach saves energy and nerves, which I can invest in more lucrative "trades" and activities.


But it should also be said at this point that the turning point is often reached precisely when people think and act like me (capitulation). A major correction is therefore definitely to be expected on Monday.

With this in mind, I wish you all a good weekend.

@Olli68 Nope, @Iwamoto bought an AllWorldETF yesterday. From FOMO. 😳

@Epi I think @Iwamoto is a very forward-thinking investor and a great woman overall. Her girlfriend too, by the way. 🥰

That's how it is! ✅
Well done, Kate. ✌️
This is what winners look like. 😁🎯⚜️

...and the all-time high is not THE all-time high, but just one of many that will be followed by many, many more. ✌️

Were there any learnings, Kate @Iwamoto? 🎓

...other than "timing is a bitch" 😉

@Stullen-Portfolio Well, it's hard to say. Looking back, I can say quite clearly what would have been better. I probably should have decided to buy straight away, but the cascade of purchases wasn't unreasonable either? And it probably would have happened. We'll see over the next few weeks

Well, it's always a matter of "probably"...if you assume a sufficiently high probability that the cascade will occur, then you have to ask yourself why you don't leave out every second stage...or, thinking further, leave out two of three stages, because you "assume" that further, lower stages will be reached, etc.

In the end, only one thing counts: everyone who invests MUST be satisfied with the way they invest (or, depending on their personal disposition, not yet invest).

[if you don't mind me saying: I can tell from some of your posts that you're not always satisfied and sometimes struggle, often in connection with the retrospective... 🤷]

Don't be too negative about it. You're not just 50 shares richer, but another experience richer. Even after 35 years, I still make the same mistakes (rather rarely) and learn something new every day (very often). You only develop the "gut" that Peter Lynch often talked about when you make decisions and take action. With this in mind: keep investing.

You really have balls. I think that's good. Should take an example from me... Eagerly awaiting a correction 😅

@DividendenMieze February first. Bullish until then.
