At that time between $P911 (-1.6%) and $RACE (+0.3%) and in retrospect unfortunately made the wrong decision despite Ferrari's high P/E ratio. We used the recent setbacks to make an exchange.

Ferrari always works

Hermes $RMS (-0.31%) (very expensive 🤑 )

Ferrari $RACE (+0.3%)

Lululemon $LULU (-0.01%)

Just do it $NKE (-1.21%) (supposedly cheap at the moment, please do not reach into the falling knife)

Booking $BKNG (+7.02%)

Marriott $MAR (+0.12%)

Ulta Beaty $ULTA (-0.2%) and/or L'Oreal $OR (+0.37%) (much more expensive)

Mercadolibre $MELI (+3.19%)

Texas Roadhouse $TXRH (+0.51%)

Chipotle $CMG (-0.78%)

Fast Retailing $9983 (-2.1%)
(doesn't fit with the others on the list but I could imagine it as a speculative stock)

"Everything" very expensive, luxury.

I would be interested to know what your favorites are for a long-term investment?

Hello Community,

My bonus will hopefully arrive at the end of April and of course I want to invest it. I'm currently toying with the idea of dividing it up roughly as follows:

• 25% in $IWDA (+0.7%) / MSCI World
• 15% in $MEUD (+0.42%) / EuroStoxx Europe 600
• 10% in $BTC (+0.54%)

For the rest, I would like to lower my entry prices depending on the market situation:

• $MSFT (+6.67%)
• 
  $NVDA (+5.31%)
• 
  $GOOGL (+1.1%)
• 
  $NOVO B (+2.49%)
• 
  $AMZN (+1.55%)
• 
  $AMD (+4.53%)
• 
  $NKE (-1.21%)
• $HIMS (-4.37%)

Possible first entries would be the following:

• $AAPL (+1.3%)
• 
  $CMG (-0.78%)
• 
  $RACE (+0.3%)
• 
  $V (+0%)
• 
  $BSX (-0.55%)
• 
  $BLK

In the end, one or the other will certainly be thrown out, as I don't get a million-dollar bonus here 😥. The investment period is > 15 years, so I'm not even trying to time it here, unless the prices have gone up 40% by the end of April, which I'm not assuming. I am well aware that the MSCI World already tracks a lot of the individual stocks.

Do you still have any exciting quality stocks that are worth a look?

Thanks!

Chevron sentenced for environmental damageA court in the USA has sentenced Chevron $CVX (-2.03%) for damages after the environmental organization Lowlander Center uncovered alarming environmental problems. The organization points out that the canals dug for oil and gas rigs in the Gulf of Mexico significantly impede the natural flow of water in the adjacent wetlands. The consequences are serious: during heavy storms, masses of water can flow unhindered inland instead of being distributed in the branches of the marshland. A law dating back to 1978 obliges companies to restore used areas to their original state after the end of operations, but Chevron has not complied with this obligation. The lawsuit accuses the company of failing to obtain proper permits and to properly dispose of wastewater, resulting in contamination of the affected areas. The court's decision could have far-reaching consequences for Chevron and the entire industry, as it puts a clear focus on the responsibility of companies for environmental damage.

US car tariffs force Nissan to halt sales and Ford to offer discountsThe new car tariffs in the USA are already having an impact and are causing turbulent times in the automotive industry. Nissan $NISA has therefore temporarily stopped selling vehicles in the USA in order to escape the effects of the tariffs. This decision shows how quickly companies have to react to economic changes. Ferrari $RACE (+0.3%) is not unaffected by the new tariffs and has increased the prices of its models by up to 10 percent. This is one of the first reactions of a manufacturer to the increased customs duties. Stellantis $STLAM (-2.3%)the parent company of Opel and Chrysler, has also announced that it will cease production in Canada for 14 days. This measure was announced by the trade union Unifor via Facebook and makes it clear that the new customs regulations not only have a significant impact on manufacturers, but also on the US workforce. The automotive industry is facing a challenging time in which strategic action and adaptability are required.

It is now slowly becoming clear who has what it takes to make good profits in the coming years.

Here are my top 30 companies by category, which I am particularly looking at in the current crash.

I bought on Friday and am buying again today - even in the course of the next few days and weeks, when we could probably see even lower prices.

Where are you buying?

March is already over, daylight saving time is on and by the time you read this, it will be "liberation day". Let's see what Mr. Trump does today at noon. But that will probably be the subject of April.

For now, let's take a look back at my March 2025.

I posted a loss of 3.09% in March. With my portfolio size, this corresponds to a value of almost €4,000. The Dax (-1.72%) beat me again, but compared to the HSBC MSCI World (-7.88%) I am still doing very well.

Over the year (YTD), I lost ground to the DAX, which remained fairly stable, but at the same time I was able to extend my lead over the MSCI World. After all...

Overall, however, I am also satisfied in March. As in February, my portfolio is quite stable compared to the MSCI World. Yes, in good phases I forego profits, but I don't have so many losses now. Volatility is supposed to be a real mental challenge for some people. I'm just glad that things are a bit more subdued for me.

My high and low performers in February were (top 3):

$EOAN (+1.1%) EON +13.45%

$UNH (+0.88%) UnitedHealth +7.15%

$ALV (+0.84%) Allianz +6.60%

$RACE (+0.3%) Ferrari -12.35%

$LLY (+2.11%) Lilly -13.04%

$MC (-0.75%) LVMH -17.71%

Funny that UnitedHealth was the second worst performing stock in February and now the second best.

Dividends:

In March, I received a net €165.60 from a total of 22 distributions.

Compared to March 2024 (€128.38), that was an increase of 28.99%

Investments:

As I mentioned in February, I am still building up my nest egg again. This is also not yet complete.

A special payment is due in April, but this will go into the $XEON (+0.03%) as I am saving all the special payments for the loan repayment in 5 years' time.

I have actually stopped some savings plans in order to have more money for individual purchases or to build up cash. More on this later.

Buying and selling:

There were no sales this month.

I bought Ferrari, and there is still room here until the position is full.

As I mentioned above, I stopped some savings plans. Realty, STAG, Gladstone Investment and Hercules Capital have been stopped. I would like to add to Realty again to fill the position (I'm still €300 short). The price of the others is moving sideways, so I imagine that I will be able to buy them at a later date at the same price.

Savings plans (total €175):

• Cintas ($CTAS (+2.16%) )
• LVMH ($MC (-0.75%) )
• Monster Beverage ($MNST (+0.34%) )
• Microsoft ($MSFT (+6.67%) )

Goals 2025:

My goal is to have €130,000 in my portfolio at the end of the year. The goal is to be achieved by reinvesting the dividend, making payments and, of course, increasing the share price. The share price increase is of course impossible to predict in any way, so the motto is: if the share price falls or does not rise enough, more cash is needed.

This comes from the sale of useless items on eBay, additional income from e.g. "neighborhood help", etc. The worse the share price, the more additional cash has to be raised.

Target achievement at the end of March 2025: 21.05%

So I'm on the right track (so far), although I would have needed a bit more in March to maintain the average. Well, everything is still open at the moment.

Now I'll wait and see what tariffs come in today (or not), look forward to the dividends and just wait and see. "Because doing nothing often leads to the very best of something."

How was your March? I have the latent hope that, for once, I did better in March than my usual 50% or so of the getquin community.

$RACE (+0.3%)
$PUM (-0.79%)

Lewis Hamilton's switch to Ferrari has the merchandising cash register ringing. The Brit's fans have practically overrun equipment supplier Puma. The equipment partner has now published its first figures.

Lewis Hamilton raced in silver for twelve years. Since the start of the current season, the driver and his fans have had to get used to a new color. The announcement that Ferrari had signed the record winner had already caused quite a stir last season. However, the euphoria in the first few months of the year was heightened once again when the change was completed.

The first official picture of Lewis Hamilton in front of Enzo Ferrari's old house received 5.7 million likes from fans on Instagram. No other post with Formula 1 content had ever generated such a social media response before. Ferrari fed the wave of euphoria bit by bit with new content during the winter break and kept it rolling into the season.

The hype surrounding Hamilton naturally led to an increase in demand for merchandising products. All the fans who had been wearing the seven-time world champion's Mercedes gear for years now naturally had to switch sides with their idol. The demand for caps and shirts with the starting number 44 was huge. Unfortunately, the new Ferrari Formula 1 collection was not yet available in time for the start of work shortly after the turn of the year.

Queues in front of the Ferrari stands

It was only shortly before the start of the season that equipment supplier Puma began to meet demand and supply dealers. Anyone who was there in Melbourne could see huge crowds of people in front of the Ferrari stands in Albert Park. Ferrari has always been the most popular team in the Formula 1 field in Australia, but with Lewis Hamilton, sales increased considerably once again.

The renowned British portal "SportBusiness" has learned from sources at Puma that merchandising sales have increased eightfold in the first few months of this year compared to the same period last year. Of course, a large proportion of this revenue goes directly back to Ferrari in the form of license fees. This means that a considerable portion of the driver's salary, estimated at over 50 million euros, has probably already been recouped.

Ferrari's F1 income explodes

Ferrari's cash registers were already ringing last season. With HP, the Scuderia found a new title sponsor before the Miami Grand Prix, which alone is expected to bring in more than half of the permitted budget cap expenditure (approx. 140 million US dollars). During the winter break, a major deal was then concluded with the Italian UniCredit bank.

Second place in the team standings also contributed to the increase in revenue. According to the official bonus key, the Scuderia is now entitled to 242 million dollars - 34 million more than in the previous year. The explosion in revenue and the spending limits that apply to all teams ensure that Ferrari makes a tidy profit with the Formula 1 team and that the project no longer has a negative impact on the balance sheet as marketing expenses, as was previously the case.
