First the new transaction.

$PEP (-1.9%) 2 further shares.

$COLO B (-0.41%) increased by 4 shares and also $KNIN (+0.19%) into the portfolio. In return $HLAG (+0.26%) out soon.

On the actual topic: After I reached my first $SOFI (-0.61%) my first 100% + share, the first 200% share was also reached today with Sofi🎉. Robinhood was close to the 200%, but didn't crack it. Considering that the euro/US dollar exchange rate is now clearly somewhere else, it's considerable either way.

Twelve US states file lawsuits against Trump's tariff policy + Hapag-Lloyd registers cancellations between China and the US + Tonner Drones is pleased to announce a new patent in the US + Aurubis defies Exane downgrade thanks to economic hopes

Twelve US states file lawsuits against Trump's tariff policy

• A dozen US states have filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump's "unlawful" tariffs at the Court of International Trade in New York.
• With his arbitrarily levied duties, the president has "overturned the constitutional order and plunged the American economy into chaos", according to the lawsuit.
• According to the US Constitution, the power to levy taxes, tariffs and duties lies with Congress, not the President, the plaintiffs argue.
• National trade policy should not depend on his whims.
• The Democratic states of Oregon, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, New Mexico, New York and Vermont and the Republican states of Arizona and Nevada have sued.
• Since the tariffs are illegal, the court should overrule them, they demand according to the lawsuit...

Hapag-Lloyd $HLAG (+0.26%)registers cancelations between China and the USA

• Germany's largest container shipping company Hapag-Lloyd is struggling in the trade dispute between the USA and the People's Republic of China.
• Around 30 percent of bookings from China to the USA have been canceled, a spokesman said on Wednesday.
• At the same time, the shipping company is registering "massive growth" in demand from Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam...

Tonner Drones $ALDR (+0.39%)announces that its patent for the inhibitor has been granted in the USA

• Tonner Drones owns the technology for an anti-recoil activation mechanism. The company now holds patents in Australia, the United Kingdom, Europe (including Germany) and the United States of America.
• Tonner Drones is actively seeking IP agencies to commercialize its patents through collaboration or sale of the technology.
• Tonner Drones itself has no ambitions to further develop the product, but sees great value in the patents given the new dynamics in Europe regarding defense spending.

Aurubis $NDA (-0.95%)defies Exane downgrade thanks to economic hopes

• Aurubis shares defied a skeptical analyst commentary from Exane BNP Paribas on Wednesday with a tailwind from economic hopes.
• The copper company's shares had risen by 1.8 percent to 77.20 euros by midday, slightly outperforming the firm MDax.
• The share price benefited from a continued recovery in the price of copper.
• The industrial metal was in demand as economic concerns eased after the US government held out the prospect of some de-escalation in the tariff dispute with China.
• However, Exane-BNP analyst Alan Spence had lowered the price target from 71 to 60 euros, which is more than a fifth below the current price.
• He has accordingly downgraded Aurubis shares to "underperform".
• With a price target of 58 euros, only one analyst, the private bank Hauck & Aufhäuser, is currently more cautiously positioned.
• At the end of March, the Aurubis share price had risen to around 96 euros, its highest level for around two years.
• However, the international trade dispute triggered by the USA then dragged the shares down to just over 71 euros within a few days.
• Economic concerns dampened the expectations of many investors with regard to demand for commodities such as copper and other industrial metals

Hapag Lloyd now in the portfolio and hopefully it will fall again a bit to buy more (complete the position).

I started to restructure my portfolio at the beginning of the year.

Out went a few underperformers and a partial sale (33%) of Siemens Energy to take some profits.

Now there is still a partial sale of $VUL (+4.33%) as this company currently accounts for 16% of my portfolio and is a very risky bet.

In future, no single stock should account for more than 10%.

My goal for 2025 is to beat the S&P500 again.

Sell:

$LITU (+1.22%) ( - 260€ )

$SBX (-7.43%) ( -330€ )

$NANO (-0.29%) ( -1732€ )

$ENR (+0.57%) ( +1774€ )

Purchase:

$ASML (+0.38%) ( 5x )

$NU (+0.67%) ( 100x )

$HLAG (+0.26%) ( 2x)
