📌 First review of the stock market year 2025 📈

The stock market year 2025 is slowly but surely coming to an end and it's time for a short first portfolio review! 🔍📊

I'm interested: What was your biggest purchase this year - and why exactly this position? 🤔💬

My own biggest single purchase in 2025 was in May: 1,250 shares of the VanEck Developed Markets Dividend Leaders ($TDIV (+2.2%) ) at € 43.48 each. 💸

Why exactly this ETF? 👉 For me, the combination of a stable dividend strategy, solid global diversification across developed markets and a defensive stance was simply convincing. Especially in a year that once again had its ups and downs, this ETF offers me a good foundation. 🛡️🌍

Now it's your turn: Which purchase left the biggest footprint in your portfolio in 2025 - and why? 🚀🔥📈

For €38,585.47 the $JEGP. One of my two biggest mistakes in 2025.

@Thomas_1963 "Insight is the first step to recovery". Hands off covered call ETFs. Actively managed rip-offs through the back door for investors with dividend hearts in their eyes - and brains.

@Thomas_1963 Why is that?

K@TechNav

@Thomas_1963 I told you...

Thomas@Thomas_1963

@trade_commander_2498 Take a look at the chart. I bought before the April crash.
Hasn't recovered a bit since then.

@Thomas_1963 which was the second error? Thank you for your transparency

•

Thomas@Thomas_1963

@user0d219396e8a14b89 bought the $JEPQ for roughly the same amount. Both together have brought me a loss of over 7k. By restructuring my portfolio, however, I have since made up for the loss.

Bimbam@Klambam

@Thomas_1963 Why not hold it for longer? It has consistently delivered dividends to date.

•

Timo@tikemyson

@Thomas_1963 doesn't that balance out over the years with the dividend yield?

••

Thomas@Thomas_1963

@tikemyson a few crashes and the capital continues to shrink. Even the monthly payments no longer compensate for this. Things aren't looking very good again at the moment.
We also want to leave something to our children. If I were a pensioner living alone, capital consumption is probably not quite as important as monthly cash flow.

After reading many posts in this community, I decided in 2025 to sell many small ETF's with many overlaps and bet on two large blocks:
$ISPA: 400 at 32,09 €
$WEBN 1000 at 10.60 €
My largest savings plans are also based on these two ETFs.

•

K@TechNav

@KohleKompass with ISPA you only lose money... pure underperformance

•

Markus@KohleKompass

@TechNav My idea was to take a counter-position to the All World as a dividend ETF. I like the defensive structure of ISPA. I want the ETF to continue to deliver dividends, even if Mag7 has a cold.

7500€ in the $TZG9RF
Janus Henderson Horizon Global Smaller Companies
Unfortunately, they don't take smaller sums. 😅

Im Trump invested deeply in april in the $CEA1. And somewhat morally reprehensible, after a Boeing crash into Airbus.

Presumably my $RKLB position, which has now grown to 2400 units at an average of 24.71
