"A bit of stagnation - and above all more inflation" is the title of the Bank of America economists' new forecast.

In such a scenario, companies with pricing power are in demand, i.e. those that can pass on rising costs to customers. These are companies that are already making good profits today and not in the too distant future. Their profits will not be greatly affected by higher interest rates. The companies must not be too cyclical; after all, they must also be able to withstand an economic slowdown.

The investment bank Goldman Sachs has compiled a list of 102 stocks that can still hold their own in a stagflation.

Analysts see the greatest price potential in commodity companies such as $MTDR (-2.19%)
Matador Resources, $CVE (-0.92%)
Cenovus Energy, $AA (+2.94%)
Alcoa and $DVN (+0.84%)
Devon Energy. The average price target for these stocks is around 40 percent above the current value. They are followed by tech companies such as $AMZN (-0.68%)
Amazon, $GOOGL (-1.42%)
Alphabet, $MSFT (-1.88%)
Microsoft, $META (-2.12%)
Meta and $ISRG (-1.9%)
Intuitive Surgical. The professionals put the potential here at at least 30 percent. This is followed by other commodities and media groups such as $SLB (-3.15%)
Schlumberger, $COP (-1.66%)
Conocophillips, $RIO (+1.56%)
Rio Tinto and $OXY (-0.71%)
Occidental Petroleum with a potential of between 25 and 30 percent.

Also $WMT (+0.26%)
Walmart is also on the list; analysts see a price potential of 27 percent for the retailer. For the conglomerate $DHR (+2.67%)
Danaher experts expect 25 percent and the railroad company $CNR (-2.19%)
Canadian National Railway is also at the top of the list.

In uncertain times, it is important to keep a watchlist so that you can pick up stable shares at bargain prices. I hope we go down a few more levels, another -20% would be nice, even if the short to medium-term price losses hurt.

Feedback - Dividend growth portfolio

Hello everyone, I have recently built up a dividend growth portfolio.

It should consist of 5 shares and these should have a low dividend yield, whereby the dividend growth should be all the higher.

I have decided on the following 5 stocks, but I am prepared to change them.

• $BAC (-0.24%)
• 
  $CNR (-2.19%)
• 
  $KO (+0.05%)
• 
  $MA (-0.46%)
• 
  $MSFT (-1.88%)

Coca Cola probably doesn't seem to be the right candidate for the portfolio or am I wrong here?

What do you think of the portfolio? Weighting? Sectors, countries?

Yesterday's additional purchase. Target size in the portfolio thus reached. 😊

I will soon have some money available to invest again, which I would like to use for additional purchases.

First and foremost, I want to further expand my ETF positions.

I would particularly like to buy more of my individual stocks at the moment:

• Canadian National Railway $CNR (-2.19%)
• 
  Nestlé $NESN (-1.76%)
• 
  PepsiCo $PEP (-0.9%)
• 
  Daikin Industries $6367 (-2.77%)
• 
  Walmart de Mexico $WALMEX* (+7.45%)

These are all long-term positions in my portfolio, which I think are currently valued quite favorably.

What do you think of these 5 companies?

I am grateful for any input!

Depot update:

I have again exchanged a few of my 45 long-term individual positions for stocks that I simply feel more comfortable with for the next few years.

Once again, a brief summary of my strategy:

1) I want to bring the two large ETF positions to 25% weighting each, as the core of the portfolio.

2) I would like to hold and save the 45 individual positions for the long term, as I consider them to be good buy & hold investments that have the potential to beat the market in the long term.

3) I would like to hold cryptos at a weighting of around 5%. If the weighting exceeds 10%, I halve it again and invest the money freed up in equities.

Considerations/plans:

- Additional purchases are planned for positions that are not yet as large for me, for example. $NOC (-16.7%) I would like each position to be at least €600

• Also bid $V (-1.45%)
  $CNR (-2.19%) and $WALMEX* (+7.45%) are currently offering me good opportunities for additional purchases
• I am currently considering "only" weighting the two ETFs with 20% each and also adding the $CSNDX (-1.49%) with a 10% weighting... But I don't think I will do that, the heavyweights from the Nasdaq 100 are already well weighted in my portfolio anyway

What do you think about the portfolio, what would you change?

PS: I'm not actively looking to collect a lot of dividends and I'm aware of the high number of individual stocks, so I can live with that.
