Depot presentation


Hello everyone,


Please find attached my portfolio, my background and my goals.


I am 20 years old, I have been dealing with the topic of shares and investing since March 2023. I am currently doing my apprenticeship as an e-commerce businessman and live with my father.


First of all, I have to say that I introduced myself to everything, as my father has nothing to do with investments, except for the fixed-term deposit and savings account at the savings bank. Ever since I was a little boy, my father has been all about money and from today's perspective I can say that he should have saved less and lived a little. He should have enjoyed his time on earth and treated himself to something.

My mother's money is just enough for a "normal" life and she's happy so far.

I haven't wanted for anything since I can remember and I'm grateful for everything I've been given and for the life I have as a result. My future is pretty well laid out, but I still want to grow.

I will probably inherit my father's house, including a granny apartment and a large plot of land, and my mother's house. The combined market value is currently around €1 million (not taxed).

I'm currently earning €870 from my apprenticeship, of which I'm putting €550 into the deposit.

As my aunt is a real estate agent with her own company, I have been able to acquire a relatively good knowledge of real estate and will be able to apply this in this area in the future


Origin of the capital:

1/4 of my portfolio comes from equity which I have saved up through bridging work after graduating from high school and my current education.

2/4 comes from my father's inheritance, which he has already made available to me for my current use.

1/4 comes from a building society savings contract from my aunt on my mother's side. She is now saving in a pension fund with €40 per month and a current value of around €4k paid in by me (not deposited in the custody account).


Strategy:

I focus on growth and high-dividend stocks that will continue to give me pleasure in the future.

As I first had to get to grips with everything myself and also liked to try things out in order to understand and get to know everything, to learn from mistakes and to enjoy successes, I sometimes made misjudgements. However, due to my young age, I don't see this as a problem. In terms of dividends, I rely on the payments that motivate me and give me "feelings of happiness", regardless of whether I leave a return or not.


Initially, I still had a relatively large number of positions and have now reduced them quite a bit and am still holding them. Now it's time for me to concentrate on a few individual stocks and increase them to around 3k each in order to be evenly positioned. The main aim is to concentrate on my ETFs in the portfolio and to pull up my "favorites" as well.


Positions that will be removed as soon as the time is ripe (in my opinion) are as follows:

$NIO (+1.86%) (Nio)

$LI (-1.2%) (American Lithium)

$SEDG (-4.28%) (Solaredge)

$P911 (-2.1%) (Porsche)

$CVX (-1.06%) (Chevron)

$BMY (+0.13%) (Brystol Meyers)

$AAPL (+0.27%) (Apple)


I currently have the following securities in my savings plan: $IWDA (+0.56%) (MSCI World) 225€

$CSPX (+0.55%) (S&P 500) 100€

$n/a (-0.03%) (Europe 600) 50€

$ALV (+0.61%) (Allianz) 50€

$MSFT (+3.69%) (Microsoft) 20€

$BLK (Blackrock) 20€

$V (-0.07%) (Visa) 20€

$GOOGL (-0.74%) (Alphabet A) 20€


The following titles will be added in the coming month:

$EWG2 (+0.88%) (Euwaxx Gold) SP 20€

$BRK.B (-1.5%) (Berkshire) 1000€ + SP 20€


Targets:

My goal is to be able to live from my current decisions at some point. Today, I firmly believe that I can and will achieve this goal if I want to.

Strokes of fate can always happen and I am aware of that. I try to make up for my father's "mistakes" and not let the money rot.

I constantly try to bring joy to my fellow human beings and also to enhance their lives, as I believe it is too short to be exposed to greed, bad moods and resentment.

My deposit target is 100k by the time I'm 25, or even earlier 😄

I would also like to start renting out my first apartments at the age of 26/27.

My biggest goal is to own a vacation home/house abroad at some point and to have lived my life until then and not have done without anything.


Please leave your feedback and thoughts for me in the comments! 😃

You can keep your envy and hate to yourself.


And just to be clear, this post is in no way meant to brag! Just for sharing and self-reflection.

The portfolio is exciting, but also a matter of taste, but to read how passionate, organized and ambitious you are at the age of 20 is great 🚀 it's really fun to read, I wish you every success!

@hendrik_lmr Thank you for your great feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it 😃
I think everyone has interests and tastes, which is what makes share trading so exciting and attractive in my opinion, very multifaceted.

Thanks for sharing. Just keep your faith burning! Continue to pray for guidance and protection. Cheers for the great life you have.

A small question. I guess you're interested in watches as an investment. Why don't you buy a real one, but only a part? My watches have been the best investments in my quality of life. I am happy to be able to decide every day whether to wear a Daytona, Speedmaster or Santos... If you're interested, why not invest?

@Akkordeonspezial I think watches are quite nice in themselves, but I'm not yet ready to invest a large sum in them. With Timeless I had the chance to play and try things out a bit, but at the moment I'm trying to build up my assets and not invest heavily in "stable value" titles.

Thanks for your suggestion though 😃

Nice portfolio!🔥Why so many dividend stocks at your age?

@Max095 Thank you! One point is that I could imagine traveling abroad for a while after my training, even for a longer period of time. Dividends would be very beneficial to me.
Another point is that, because of my training salary, it would benefit me on the one hand for reinvesting various positions and on the other hand it is simply nice to receive a "second salary" every month and motivates me.
But I agree with you and am already trying to increase my growth positions 😃

Good portfolio. I would also get rid of the stocks for sale. I would also sell BAT. Instead, I would buy Eli Lilly or Novo Nordisk after a correction (not now)

Great story, also good to read that you also want to enjoy your life. Saving too much also makes you ill at some point, and being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't help either.
Why do you have so many different ETFs? Well, High Dividend doesn't make sense at your age. The Growth ETF makes more sense and why MSCi World plus S&P500 and Stoxx Europe? Either or. Would also take more risk at your age. Returns from good growth companies can easily pay for a stay abroad. I understand the intention of a "second salary", but dividends are deducted from the share price. In my opinion, it only makes sense if you consistently reinvest it directly in the stock, then the dividend snowball rolls.
I wish you every success with all your goals.

@Joris It is not as if the share will not make up for the dividend discount.
profile image
@Joris Thank you for your detailed feedback. Nice to meet you 😃
I have Europe in the portfolio to increase the European share, as otherwise the USA would be the sole representative in the portfolio. S&P and World double up in many positions, but I feel more comfortable holding both in the portfolio. The S&P usually delivers a slightly higher return.
I could well imagine taking the amount out of the High divi and shifting it into the Divi Growth, but it is currently also performing well in the portfolio, which is why I am still holding it for a while.

Hope you reach all of yours too, thanks! 😃

@minkz understand about the ETFs, I think with more experience in the market your opinion on ETFs will change. For now, do what you feel comfortable with.

@Joris I am here to gain experience. You can only become the best of yourself through your own experiences and actions. At least that's how I see it 😅
Nevertheless, thank you for your objection, you will probably be right 😂
profile image
@minkz That's exactly how it is ;) You learn from experience and unfortunately you usually learn the most from mistakes. I made big mistakes and learned a lot, which probably set me back a year. But on the other hand, I'm glad I made them. As strange as it sounds, it has brought me even closer to my goals.

Yes, the duplications are not ideal with ETFs.
Have you considered focusing more on dividend growth companies? Visa, ASML etc. At your age, that would be good leverage and you wouldn't have to sacrifice returns. They may not have a high yield now, but your personal dividend yield will be high in the future.
And I also made this mistake of excluding good companies just because they don't pay a dividend. Share price gains are also great 😊 I also love companies that have a strong free cash flow. So I still need more convincing. I still see a lot of potential in AI shares. But I probably won't see if I was right until 2030 or later 😅

@capital_guru_169 I agree with you about Visa, ASML, Microsoft etc., but not about Hapag Loyd, Maersl, BAT or the like.
So there are many that make up for this, but it's not a blanket statement that every share will make it.
And yet the dividend is deducted from the share price first, which was my main point.
profile image
@Joris The main thing is to keep your goals in mind and achieve them, the road to them can be as hard as you want it to be. Just keep your head up and keep going!
Good tip in any case. Visa is also still on my list to top up and I also have it in my savings plan. I haven't looked into ASML yet.
I think it's often harder to find good solid "safe" growth stocks than dividend stocks. That doesn't exactly make the search for additions any easier 😂

@Joris The problem is not with the dividend strategy but with stock picking, which can go wrong with any investment strategy.

Congrats for your maturity and I am sure you won't have big difficulties in achievement your goals with this mindset!

First of all, mega cool that you are so busy with it, but avoid duplication and either reduce the s&p 500 or these are unnecessary costs

Furthermore, stop with the stocks and grow first save the etf for 10 years and then concentrate on your dividends:)

Keep in mind that you will also earn better in old age, which means that the dividends will be easier for you, but the foundation must be on concrete:) and don't forget to build up the notorious :)

@Olaftheheino Thank you for your feedback 😄

@minkz i know etf mega boring xD but it works and

Read books acquire knowledge and at 25 you are already much further in your head I would build the foundation first

I don't want to come across as smartass from above :)

I wish I'd had someone like your dad who talks about money, that's the only way you learn it, it was different for us, so I only started when I was 25

Great portfolio but I would liquidate the 11 smallest positions if I were you and also put them in the ETF position

@Alex_DSZL95 Thank you for the feedback 😃
I find the portfolio rather haphazard. All the ETFs and overlaps alone show me that perhaps you haven't done enough research into investing. I would restructure it in large parts. On the positive side, of course, you're still young and already doing well. That's meant to be constructive criticism. But I think you want an honest opinion. In the end, it's all a matter of taste and it's important that you're in it and stay in it. best regards

One question: what makes you decide to sell $BMY
