Today I'm going to show you my best and worst trades since the start of my investment journey. No show, no excuses - just real numbers and learnings.

🟢 My top 15 trades

📈 From Rheinmetall to Palantir to Ferrari - some positions really took off.

Biggest single gain: +131 % for Rheinmetall💪

→ The majority came from strategically placed opportunities, not luck.

🔴 My flop 15 trades

📉 Nvidia put, Mainz Biomed, BrainChip... The biggest flop?

-99.76 % with a warrant on Nvidia 😬

→ The lesson: highly speculative bets quickly go against you - especially without a plan.

📘 My most important learning

I learned this lesson in my first year of investing:

Short-term trading may work from time to time - but not in the long term.

Today, I have a clear strategy:

✅ Core-satellite

✅ Focus on quality

✅ Discipline & long-termism

🧠 Why am I sharing this?

Transparency is not a buzzword for me - it's a duty.

Losses are part of it. If you only talk about your profits, you're only telling half the truth.

It might just be a moped, but it's better than nothing

Question to the Commuinity, is it still worth joining Ferrari now $RACE (+0.79%) ? The share has come back extremely well after the low of 07.04. ........

$RACE (+0.79%)

FERRARI HAS JUST PUBLISHED ITS RESULTS

Ps: Does anyone have the dates of the quarterly figures for $SHEL (+1.21%) ? Unfortunately I can't find them online.

After making my first small investments of a few hundred euros in the stock market in February '25, I added a larger amount in the course of April. It also took some time to develop an investment strategy; where do I want to invest? What risk do I want to take? Accumulating or distributing? ETFs and/or individual shares? If so, which ones and why? Are there specific countries and/or sectors I would like to focus on?

Only at the end of last week were all the answers to these questions clear: a long-term investment horizon of just over 35 years with relatively low risk. A healthy ETF/share mix of 60/40. Distributing portfolio with high-yield and high-growth positions and with a relative focus on the USA and Europe.

I have a good feeling that I am happy with my strategy in the long term and finally no longer have to constantly turn the entire portfolio inside out.

My ETFs and individual stocks are $HMWO (+0.14%)
$TDIV (+0.56%)
$DGSD (+0.92%)
$MAIN (-0.98%)
$NOVO B (-20.11%)
$PGR (+0.01%)

$UKW (-2.41%)
$APH (+0.08%)
$DHL (-2.55%)
$HSBA (+2.07%)
$MUX (-1.44%)
$NEE (+1.28%)
$ZTS (-0.07%)
$AFL (+0.94%)
$O (+0.76%)
$SHEL (+1.21%)
$VID (-0.66%)
$RACE (+0.79%)
$PLD (+1.23%)
$OMV (+0.6%)
