Hello to all the early risers among you :D

I've been in the stock market for about 10 months. My biggest positions are Bitcoin and the S&P500. My strategy so far has been to save the two positions monthly via a savings plan, which I plan to continue in the future.

In addition, I have repeatedly bought quality stocks with higher contributions during major setbacks and sold them promptly as soon as they have achieved a return of around 15-25% or a higher return than my S&P500. It is definitely more exciting but also much more costly (fundamental analysis, reasons for the setbacks, future prospects etc.) + I pay tax on my short-term gains. I simply don't have the time for that at the moment (degree, working student job, weekend part-time job)

Now I would like to change my strategy a little. I would like to continue to save my ETF + BTC and also add a few quality stocks or ETFs from the tech sector to jump on the AI bandwagon, so to speak, as I believe that despite the sharp rise, we are still pretty much at the beginning and there is enormous potential. In your opinion, does it make more sense to choose a sector ETF like the $IUIT (+1.78%) or 2-3 quality stocks with high potential from the sector (e.g. $NVDA (+3.67%)
$QCOM (+2.24%)
$AMD (+5.31%) or also $ASML (+4.37%) )

Since my portfolio would therefore be very USA-heavy, I would also like to take 2-3 top stocks from the EU ( $ASML (+4.37%)
$MC (+2.48%)
$NOVO B (+1.62%) ).

Possibly also stocks from South America ($MELI (-0.23%)
$NU (-0.82%) ) with high growth potential, the same from India with e.g. $INFY to diversify the overall portfolio more strongly.

For those of you who have read through to the end, I would be very pleased to hear your opinions, suggestions and criticism. As I said, I've only been on the stock market for just under 10 months.

Have a nice sunny Saturday 🤗

I would like to add another emerging market stock to my portfolio. Having already bought Baidu ($9888 (+2.17%) ), Reliance Industries ($RELIANCE ), Infosys ($INFY ), Kaspi kz ($KSPI (-17.51%) ) and Ambev ($ABEV3 ), I would like to add a stock from Indonesia to my basket. I see growth opportunities here in particular due to the forecast population growth.

My eye has fallen on the conglomerate Astra International ($ASII (+1.61%) ), in which the Jardine Matheson ($J36 (-0.06%) ) group is also a shareholder. Their businesses would be a good addition to my portfolio. However, I can hardly find any info on the company online.

Has anyone looked into the company in more detail?
