What do the wise among you say?
I know your DCA thesis, but I'll tell you what you already know: It will go down again.
I'd rather suspend the savings plans, build up cash again and wait until it crashes again, when I can make individual purchases or set up savings plans again.
Another question that has nothing to do with this article. Why is $GIS (-0.79%) going so badly? Have we already seen the low point?

Today Iâm sharing with you my main portfolio. This doesnât include any ETF investments and crypto currencies / gold etc. since I want to focus my presence on getquin on stock-picking.

I use the 7 Powers framework from the book â7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategyâ by Hamilton Helmer. Itâs a killer framework for understanding why some businesses create lasting value and compound returns over time.
Each âPowerâ is a sustainable strategic advantage that lets a company generate outsized returns for a long time. I ask the 7 questions for each stock I am considering to buy.
1. Counter-Positioning
2. Scale Economies
3. Switching Costs
4. Network Effects
5. Branding
6. Cornered Resource
7. Process Power
If I had to chose one, Network effects would be the most important one for me.

Before anyone thinks I'm always right, here's an example of how that's not the case. But since someone asked me yesterday to post something negative, I'm happy to do so. First and foremost, however, I do this to explain my trading strategies a little more. So if a value like the one below $MC (-1.92%) does not develop in the right direction that I expect right from the start, I get out at around -20% at the latest. I don't buy more and hope for improvement. My thought when I entered the trade was a short-term positive development due to the tariff reduction. It didn't work out and I can live with that.
Until recently, close business relations with China were considered a blemish - investors punished such shares with discounts. But now the narrative has changed abruptly: Following the agreement in the trade dispute with the USA, China is suddenly being seen as an opportunity again.
"Welt" has analyzed data from the US investment bank Goldman Sachs analyzed. Goldman has compiled several indices that are heavily influenced by the China issue and which show how much of a discount the values still have.
Some European tech stocks with high China business are also identified as potential winners.
Some examples:
$ASM (-0.12%) - ASM International | Potential +27%
$ASML (+0.28%) - ASML +16%
$SHL (-0.38%) - Siemens Healthineers +26%
$MC (-1.92%) - LVMH +15%
$ADS (-1.28%) - Adidas +19%
