I think my money is better off somewhere else right now. But I struggled with the decision for a long time 😬

Since I also $NESN (+0.89%) & $KO (+1.05%) in my portfolio…the stock’s performance was just too much for me.

Green candles are great until they get scary. The market has recovered impressively since the April lows. Many mega-caps are trading near their record highs again. The Shiller CAPE of the S&P 500 stands at 41, historically a level that calls for caution.

My ETF core is already heavily exposed to US and tech stocks. To continue buying blindly into the hype now would be pure FOMO for me and would only increase the cluster risk.

My solution: buy anti-cyclically what the market currently hates or ignores.

💉 Novo Nordisk - bought Down over 55% since the all-time high in 2024. The market is currently mainly evaluating the short-term risks, while the company remains extremely strong fundamentally. A P/E ratio of 10.7 for the global GLP-1 market leader with a 65% market share of new US prescriptions. The new study from May 12 with up to 28% weight loss provides an additional tailwind.

🛡️ Berkshire Hathaway B - Missed the rebound completely, down slightly YTD. For me, the perfect counterweight to my tech-heavy portfolio (beta 0.62). 397 billion dollars cash yields safe returns and creates massive buying power in case of a correction. Protects on the downside, participates on the upside.

🍫 Nestlé - bought A classic turnaround play. Forward P/E below the sector average, new CEO with a clear restructuring course. While I wait for the operational recovery, I collect a 4% dividend yield as a patience bonus.

💻 Microsoft - buy Currently the most attractive valuation among the US tech megacaps for me, still 27% below its all-time high. The Q1 figures with strong Azure growth and a cloud backlog of 627 billion dollars show that the operating momentum is intact.

Disclaimer & transparency: After years of consistently focusing on ETFs, I am now starting to add individual stocks to my portfolio again. Why only now? To be honest, I have often lacked the time for analysis in recent years, my interest was elsewhere at times and I was also severely restricted professionally when it came to buying individual stocks.

Although my ETF core has grown considerably, there was hardly any free capital for new adventures, and admittedly: I simply didn't dare to do much either. Looking back, I could certainly have achieved even better performance by selectively switching into individual stocks, but I've been very happy with my "passive, lazy money" so far. Now feels like the right time to take a bolder approach again. ⚖️🚀

How do you deal with the fear of highs, continue to butter up the all-time highs or build up cash? 👇

I have noticed that shares in food manufacturers are somehow not in demand at all at the moment. Why is that? Consumer staples and food should actually offer a certain degree of resilience in turbulent times, as people always eat regardless of economic growth and the economy. So why is this sector just bobbing around like this?

Here are a few examples:

$ULVR (+1.77%) Unilever, YTD = -9.1% , P/E=18.3, Divi = 4%

$NESN (+0.89%) Nestle, YTD = + 2.4%, P/E=22.4, Divi = 4%

$HRL (+2.05%) Hormel Foods, YTD = -11% , P/E=23.3 , Divi = 5.7%

$GIS (+4.01%) General Mills, YTD = -21.8%, P/E=8.6 , Divi = 6.8%

$KHC (+3.58%) Kraft Heinz, YTD = -3.1% , P/E=negative , Divi = 6.8%

$FLO (+0%) Flowers Foods, YTD = -20% , P/E=21.81 , Divi = 11.5%

$NOMD (+2.23%) Normad Foods, YTD = -17.2% , P/E=9.8 , Divi = 6.8%

$TBS (+0%) Tiger Brands, YTD = -20% , P/E=12 , Divi = 11.4%

I understand that many branded companies are coming under increasing pressure from the discounters' own brands when the economy is bad, but is that really the whole truth?

Nestle has been paying me a continuous dividend since 2008 / 2009, which has been increased every year so far. I have already received my original investment from back then back in full through the dividend payments. I think it's good proof that buy & hold pays off and that you can put together a nice portfolio over time. After the dividend payment, I only have to get the withholding tax from Switzerland refunded. This then increases the net dividend by a good 300 euros. The value shown here in the transaction is gross in CHF. And a good start to the day to you all.

After first having to pay the school fees for the second semester and the direct federal tax and the first two installments of municipal and cantonal tax, I was finally able to make my first investment for 2026. At the moment, I think many stocks are extremely overvalued, but I have now found something. Above all, I want to reduce my US holdings a little. Trump is unpredictable for me and I want to significantly increase my European share.

I secured my second tranche today.

The sale of $NESN (+0.89%) enabled me to acquire further shares.
