My goal is to beat the market, I'm still relatively young and want to see if I can do it, if not I'll put everything in an etf in 5 years.

Regarding my portfolio, I currently have a cash ratio of 23-25% depending on the fluctuations in the last month.

Purchases of existing stocks:

I plan to increase the financial stocks by 50%, $CG (-4.9%)
$KKR (-3.12%)
$APO (-3%)
$TPG (-3.78%) .

In addition, a little $DMP (-2.33%) by 25%.

Sales:

I made the mistake of wanting to $EVO (+1.94%) and $CPRX (-5.29%) trade, but then I was too greedy.

I am convinced of both positions in the long term but not in this size in the portfolio, which is why I will reduce both stocks by 33%.

Potential purchases:

$HALO (-5.02%)
$CUV (-2.12%) - Will invest a little extra, otherwise just the 33% from sale of $CPRX. Both around 50 - 50

$SL (-4.16%) - the same as $TISG (+2.66%)

$KSPI (-5.1%) - about as high as $MUM (+0%)

$FIH.U (-1.74%) - about as high as $MUM (+0%)

$2GB (-3.51%) - about as high as $MUM (+0%)

$M12 (+7.27%) - about as high as $MUM (+0%)

$CPR (+2.18%)
$DGE (-1.38%)
$RI (+0.55%) - I'll wait and see, but I can imagine that they will develop in a similar way to the tobacco shares. Since I don't want to decide, I'll just buy three for the sum of one. And divide the amount between these 3.

In general:

I'm generally a fan of putting together baskets like with alcohol or the yacht builders.

What would you change because you see a high risk? I am relatively poorly positioned in the tech sector, do you have any other titles that I could take a closer look at in this area?

At CTS EVENTIM $EVD (+0%)demand is unbroken

• Demand is unbroken, says Eventim CEO Klaus-Peter Schulenberg to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ).
• "Eventim will continue to grow this year and is aiming for double-digit growth."
• With an adjusted EBITDA margin of 6.4 percent in the live sector, the company is a leader among global providers.
• "A year-on-year comparison is always difficult.
• Fluctuations are also related to the fact that event expenses are booked as costs long before the events.
• Income, on the other hand, is only booked after the event has taken place.
• Fluctuations are therefore inevitable.
• As a rule, however, we should achieve a margin of between 6 and 8 percent."
• The cost curve is flattening somewhat, while on the revenue side, efforts are being made to keep the base prices for group tickets stable.

• The profit margin before interest and taxes should be between 9.5 and 11.5 percent.
• The market environment remains challenging, particularly in the public sector in Germany, due to the formation of a government following the federal elections.
• However, the order backlog at the beginning of the year is already higher than in the previous year.
• In addition, Secunet CEO Axel Deininger expects demand for security solutions to remain strong, "which should be particularly visible in the second half of the year."
• Secunet confirmed preliminary figures for the past year.
• Turnover rose from 393.7 million euros in the previous year to 406.4 million euros.
• At 42.5 million, earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were just below the previous year's level.

AI hype subsides + Insider buying at Dermapharm in the 2-digit million range + German government wants to reduce stake in Commerzbank + Real estate stocks benefit from interest rate hopes

Investors in the technology sector continue to take profits at the beginning of the seasonally rather poor stock market month of September. The previous day, European sector stocks had already come under pressure in the wake of the New York Nasdaq stock exchange, where semiconductor stocks in particular were sold off. This trend continued in European trading on Wednesday. Chip stocks also corrected in Asia amid somewhat disillusioned hype surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). In New York, the semiconductor index SOX had slipped by almost eight percent the previous evening, which, according to one trader, was the biggest daily loss since the coronavirus outbreak in March 2020. The AI favorite alone, the Nvidia $NVDA (-8.96%) had lost a good 280 billion US dollars in value in one day on Tuesday.

The pharmaceutical manufacturer Dermapharm $DMP (-2.33%) recently had to contend with significant declines in sales in some cases after the coronavirus pandemic subsided. However, the outlook for the branded pharmaceuticals manufacturer's core operating business is now brightening again, as evidenced by recent insider purchases in the double-digit million euro range. Dermapharm is also attractively valued fundamentally with a P/E ratio26e of 13.4 and a dividend yield of 2.6 %.

The threat of a placement of shares by the German government has put the shares of Commerzbank $CBK (+1.02%) shares on Wednesday, particularly at the start of trading. In the first few minutes, the Frankfurt-based bank's shares lost up to 4.4% in a weak market environment. However, with the gradual recovery of the DAX, they ultimately reduced their price loss to less than half. The state is planning its exit and wants to reduce its stake in a first step, according to the Federal Finance Agency. According to informed circles, sales of initially 3 to 5 percent are being discussed, reports the news agency Bloomberg.

German real estate stocks were among the best performers in the weak market on Wednesday. In addition to increasing hopes of interest rate cuts following recent weak economic data, a positive sector study by Kepler Cheuvreux provided support. Vonovia $VNA (-0.53%) was one of the best performers in the leading Dax index thanks to a price increase of around 0.8 percent. In the MDax of medium-sized listed companies TAG Immobilien $TEG (+0.29%) topped the list of winners with a plus of 3.2 percent, followed by LEG Immobilien $LEG (-2.59%) and Aroundtown $AT1 (-2.8%). Patrizia $PAT (+2.56%) took the top spot in the small cap index SDax with an increase of around 2.5 percent.
