487New week New purchases
A few individual purchases are on the agenda this week.
The first share will be $MC (-0.69%) . I have had it on my watchlist for some time and now I see a good entry point.
In addition $ASML (-2.39%) will also be topped up.
And I have added to the watchlist $UAA (-0.49%) let's see what they will do in the near future...
Hopefully a good start to the week :)
Which shares would James Bond buy?
James Bond is not only the world's most famous secret agent, but also an icon of style and exclusivity. If 007 were to invest in the financial markets, he would certainly have his favorites.
His stock picks would be dominated by luxury, technology, innovative defense and strong global brands. Here are four stocks that would fit perfectly into James Bond's portfolio.
$AML (-6.15%) Aston Martin Lagonda (ISIN:GB00BN7CG237) - 007's ride:
Why? No James Bond movie without an iconic Aston Martin. The British luxury brand has been inextricably linked with the secret agent for decades. Although Aston Martin has had difficult economic phases, the future could look brighter with the strategic realignment and new electric models.
Bond factor: exclusivity, tradition and a hint of danger - Aston Martin is the logical choice.
Personally, however, I would definitely steer clear of it.
$MC (-0.69%) LVMH (ISIN: FR0000121014) - Luxury that Bond loves
Why? Whether it's fine watches, exclusive suits or expensive champagne - Bond values luxury. LVMH (Louis Vuitton MoĂŤt Hennessy) is the world's leading luxury group and unites brands such as TAG Heuer, Dom PĂŠrignon and Berluti (bespoke shoes). In "The Touch of Death" from 1987, Bond even wears a TAG Heuer watch - albeit for the first and last time. Although Bond prefers a "Bolly" (Champagne Bollinger) when choosing his champagne, he would certainly not be averse to a Dom PĂŠrignon either đ
Bond factor: Stylish elegance paired with economic power - an investment with class.
I also find the share very interesting and see significant potential here.
$BA. (-2.69%) BAE Systems (ISIN: GB0002634946)
Why? As an MI6 agent, Bond has access to the most advanced weapons systems and intelligence technologies. BAE Systems is one of the largest defense contractors in the world, based in London.
Bond factor: cutting-edge military technology and from đŹđ§ UK. A must-have for 007.
For a defense company, the P/E ratio of around 25 is still fairly valued and offers upside potential if the defense industry continues to flourish.
$DGE (+0.43%) Diageo (ISIN: GB0002374006) - For the perfect martini
Why? "Shaken, not stirred" - James Bond coined what is probably the most famous cocktail order in the world. Diageo is one of the largest spirits groups in the world and owns brands such as Tanqueray Gin and Smirnoff Vodka - the basis for Bond's Martini.
Bond factor: Indulgence with a touch of decadence - and a defensive investment in the consumer sector.
Personally, I would not invest in Diageo at the moment, as I think there are more interesting stocks.
With this portfolio, James Bond would not only be investing in style, but also in companies with prestige, technology and global appeal.
Which stock do you think is missing? Would 007 bet on crypto or would he stick to classic investments?
LVMH
Since my portfolio is very tech-heavy and LVMH is currently favorably valued, I have opened an initial position in $MC (-0.69%) opened a first position in
Further purchase at under âŹ600. I'm looking forward to the Shareholder Club. My girlfriend and I are going on a short trip to France in May.
Perfume of the day is LV Imagination:)
For more stability in the depot...
... yesterday at
the first positions yesterday.
I am aiming for an average dividend yield of over 2.5% across my entire portfolio. After picking up more of the (supposed) US tech dips recently, I wanted to diversify my portfolio geographically and sector-specifically again.
I had to weigh up between PepsiCo and NestlĂŠ for a long time. In the end, I chose NestlĂŠ to reduce my dependence on the US. While PepsiCo generates most of its sales in North America, NestlĂŠ has a much more broadly diversified sales structure. I am keeping PepsiCo very high on my watch list due to its current correction.
I am planning my next investment steps in the financial and insurance sector, European mid-caps and Asian markets.
Have a relaxing weekend everyone!
Bets: it will go up
$MC (-0.69%) Buy at 600 euros... we are currently at 610 euros.... Bet the 600 won't come...
thank me later.....

That's me! đđ˝ââď¸
Hello everyone,
My name is Antonio, I'm almost 27 years old and I'm from Bremen. I currently work as a train manager at Deutsche Bahn. Anyone who knows the job knows that chaos is almost guaranteed here. If a train is on time, everyone wonders what's going wrong. Delays, strikes, unforeseen events - you get used to the fact that nothing goes as expected. And that's exactly how I felt on the stock market: constantly chasing hypes, always on the lookout for quick profits, and in the end I never knew whether the train was still on the right track. I experienced just as much chaos on the markets as I did in my day-to-day work - but fortunately I've learned from it and am now looking for a fresh start where everything is a bit more orderly and predictable.
I've made a lot of mistakes on the stock market in the past. And not too few - unfortunately. Like many of you, I had the idea that the stock market would make me a quick buck. I let myself be led by hypes, trends and the desire for immediate results. I wasn't interested in investing for the long term or building a solid foundation for the future, I was only ever interested in making a quick profit. Leveraged products, knock-out certificates - it was all there. It felt like a casino where the loss was usually the only "win". And so it came as it had to: I not only lost money, but also confidence in my own decisions and the markets.
But today, in 2025, I have realized that it is time for a fresh start. I have learned from my mistakes. It's been a long road and I've thought a lot about why I was so quick to go for the quick buck instead of investing patiently and focusing on long-term success. I learned the lessons I needed to become a better investor. Patience, diversification and a long-term perspective are now my principles. I want to create something tangible, not just a portfolio full of numbers, but also a solid, long-term strategy that will help me to continuously build my wealth.
My portfolio: A solid foundation
The portfolio I have now built up is a mix of different asset classes and asset classes. My aim is to diversify broadly and not miss out on potential growth opportunities, while spreading risk across different sectors and regions. Here is an overview of what my investment strategy looks like:
ETFs (âŹ1000/month)
I have deliberately opted for a broad diversification and invested in different geographical regions and markets. This diversification should ensure that my capital benefits from the markets that have the greatest potential in the coming decades.
- IE00BMTX1Y45 ( $I500) (-1.86%)
- LU0908500753 ( $MEUD (-0.51%) )
- IE00BYXVGY31 ( $FUSA (-1.49%) )
- IE00BD1F4M44 ( $IUVF (-1.63%) )
- IE00BKM4GZ66 ( $EIMI (-1.91%) )
- LU1681041973 ( $CD9 (+0.02%) )
- LU0486851024 ( $D5BL (-0.82%) )
- IE00BYQCZN58 ( $DXJZ (-2.53%) )
- IE00BF4RFH31 ( $WSML (-1.71%) )
- IE00BG0SKF03 ( $5MVL (-2.12%) )
- IE00B652H904 ( $SEDY (-1.61%) )
- LU2089238385 ( $PRAJ (-2.59%) )
- DE000A0H0744 ( $EXXW (-1.31%) )
- IE00BFXR5W90 ( $LGAG (-1.34%) )
- LU0779800910 ( $XCHA (-1.24%) )
- HANetf Future of Defense UCITS ETF ($ASWC (-2.54%) )
So many ETFs? Does he still have all his wits about him?
Some people will think exactly that when they look at my ETF list. And yes, I admit that the portfolio is pretty broadly based - perhaps too broad for some. But that's exactly my goal. I don't want to catch the one sector or the one region that is going through the roof. I want to have everything! If a market explodes somewhere in the world, then I want to be there. Be it through large caps, small caps, growth, value, technology or emerging markets, my approach is not to miss out on potential opportunities and at the same time not to put all my eggs in one basket. Some call it overdiversification, I call it my personal "all-world approach"
The idea behind the selection of these ETFs is that I want to focus on global markets and growth regions without missing out on important sectors such as technology, healthcare and energy. The USA (with over 55% of my portfolio) remains the central component due to its economic importance and innovative strength. At the same time, I am also focusing on Europe, Asia, China and emerging markets, which are increasingly among the growth markets of the future. Small caps also play a key role for me, as they often have the potential to grow faster and offer opportunities that are often overlooked by the large institutions.
Cryptocurrencies (âŹ100/month in Bitcoin ( $BTC (-4.08%) ) âŹ50/month in Ethereum ($ETH) (-6.9%)
I also invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum as I am convinced of the future of these digital currencies. Even if the volatility is high, I see the long-term potential of these technologies. For me, it is an opportunity to participate in the development of a new financial world.
Gold (50 âŹ/month EUWAX Gold ($DE000EWG0LD1 (+0.49%) )
In uncertain times, I have realized how important it is to have conservative assets such as gold. The last few years of inflation and economic fluctuations have made me realize that gold can have a stabilizing effect, especially in times of crisis.
Individual stocks - My dividend strategy
I have also selected a few individual stocks that should not only offer me security, but also regular income through dividends. The reason for this is simple: I need something tangible, something visible. It's not just the pleasure of seeing the portfolio grow, but also the dividend that gives me the feeling of actively participating in the companies and benefiting from their success.
- 3M Co ($MMM (-1.71%) )
- Allianz ($ALV (-0.7%) )
- BioNTech ($BNTX (-1.5%) )
- Booking Holdings( $BKNG (-2.28%) )
- Coca-Cola ($KO (-0.12%) )
- LVMH ($MC (-0.69%) )
- MSCI Inc ($MSCI (-1.43%) )
- NextEra Energy($NEE (+0.65%) )
- Philip Morris ($PM (-0.28%) )
- Realty Income($O (+0.57%) )
BioNTech in particular, as a company that has promising potential not only during the pandemic but also beyond, is a long-term winner for me. Likewise NextEra Energy, which plays a key role in the renewable energy sector, and Booking Holdings, which should benefit from the global tourism trend. These companies not only pay dividends, but also show that you can benefit from a company's success with a long-term perspective.
Pension fund
I also invest in the DEVK pension fund (DE000A2PT1X3) through my employer $DE000A2PT1X3 . This fund is particularly important to me because of the generous contributions made by my employer and the solid returns. Even though the costs are somewhat higher, I see it as a long-term addition to my strategy.
Why this portfolio?
I built my portfolio this way because I believe in the potential of long-term global diversification. Rather than chasing short-term gains, I am looking for continuous value growth over many years. I want to support the right companies, benefit from promising markets and at the same time have a regular source of income through dividends.
I am no longer interested in making a quick buck. I have learned that true success in wealth accumulation lies in patience. And that's what it's all about: I want to create a solid foundation for the future - for myself, for my pension and perhaps for a house in a few years' time.
What do you think?
I'm really looking forward to hearing from you. What do you think of my strategy? Do you see any areas where I could diversify even more? Are there any asset classes or ETFs missing from my portfolio that would make sense for me? I am very keen to hear your opinions and advice.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story and strategy! I look forward to your feedback.
Best regards,
Antonio
First of all, individual stocks: you can do that. Personally, I've said goodbye to it, as my selection of individual securities has rather slowed me down. But I can understand the need for control.
Crypto and gold: why not. My weighting is smaller, but it depends on my personal risk affinity. risk affinity.
On the ETFs:
First, the presentation method: Please include the percentage weighting. Then you can better evaluate what you are doing. It would also have been nice if I didn't have to click on each one to see what's behind it.
On diversification, you may have overdone it a bit. While you're probably solidly diversified depending on your weighting, your approach has quite little method in my view. You walked through the supermarket, said please everything once and got 3 different packs of toilet paper, bought peppers and pointed peppers. You should consider whether you could have achieved your goal more easily with an MSCI World and emerging markets and small caps variants. Then you have a few value and dividend etfs, which are probably okay. If you actually had a value tilt in mind. But then, in my opinion, you should rather take value ETFs instead of dividend ETFs, as these are also available as accumulating ETFs. But in neither case are you really more diversified if you have several US big caps ETFs.
Europe is similar. You have the Stoxx Europe and MSCI Europe, a Europe Imi and Europe Value (if I have seen this correctly)
Maybe you could do the same with a
MSCI World, MSCI World Value, MSCI World small caps. If necessary, you can then overweight a region with an additional ETF or 2.
It should be similar with EM.
The advantage: with EM and World you could do without the Pacific and have a similar country diversification.
