I was given €30 worth of Nvidia shares about 7 months ago and the price hasn't moved much. Do you think I should sell them and spend the money elsewhere?

I'm thinking about it, $ORCL (-0.61%) or $AMZN (+0.05%) buying.

Hello everyone,

I've been thinking about how to invest my first €10,000. I would like to pursue the core satellite strategy.

What do you think of the following allocation?

• $VWRL (-0.34%) (approx. 20%)
• $TDIV (-0.56%) (approx. 15%)
• $BTC (+0.5%) (I already have a part, the rest I will buy -- 10%)
• Cash (5%)

The other 50% will go into the first 10 shares.

• $PLTR (-1.67%) (4x)
• $CAT (-0.32%) (2x)
• $HOOD (-2.35%) (7x)
• $MCD (-0.69%) (2x)
• $AMZN (+0.05%) (2x)
• $NOVO B (-3.33%) (6x)
• $KO (-0.56%) (7x)
• $STR (-0.83%) (is my employer, have been invested for approx. 5 years -- 6x)
• $AAPL (-0.47%) (3x)
• $SHOP (-0.89%) (5x)

I would like to end up with a total of about 15 shares.

In the next three places would be the following shares:

• $NU (-1.58%)
• 
  $HIMS (-1.12%)
• 
  $SOFI (-2.64%)

I look forward to hearing your opinions and wish everyone a successful week.

Best regards

After the share of $11B (-1.3%) has been struggling for the past 8 months, it could now be about to break free. Last Friday evening, the new game The Alters was released, which by all indications is very successful. The average Steam customer rating is currently 92% positive, well ahead of the blockbuster Frostpoint 2, which still only has 75% positive ratings.

In addition, interest in The Alters is currently still growing at a gigantic rate and it is not yet clear when the peak will be reached. While around 7,000 players jumped into the game right at release on Friday, today there are already 17,000 players active at the same time. In addition, on the streaming platform Twitch, which belongs to $AMZN (+0.05%) up to 85,000 people watched the release of the game at the same time. While The Alters has already been postponed this year and it was unclear whether the release might even be canceled, the title now seems to be developing into a surprise success.

There is also positive news from the Frostpunk sector, with the title Frostpunk 1886 currently in development, which is a remake of the classic Frostpunk. In contrast to a remaster, this means that the game will be redeveloped and improved from the ground up, while remaining true to the original gameplay. In principle, this is very promising, as the disappointment with the sequel FP2 was mainly due to artistic decisions. A return to the roots should therefore pick up the many fans of the original game and at the same time only incur manageable costs. However, the game is not due to be released until 2027. Moonlighter 2 and the new title Death Howl are also planned for this year

Meanwhile, FP2 is also a financial success despite disappointing ratings and sales figures and has already recouped all development costs after around a month. We should soon be receiving reports of over 1 million copies sold, I estimate that we are currently at sales figures of around 800-900k.

• Morningstar Rating: 4 stars
• Morningstar Economic Moat Rating: Broad
• Morningstar Uncertainty Rating: Medium
• Sector: Internet retail

Our list of affordable AI stocks starts with internet retailer Amazon.com. Amazon is the leading online retailer and marketplace for third-party sellers. Retail sales account for about 75% of total sales, followed by cloud computing, storage, databases and other Amazon Web Services offerings. Amazon's shares are undervalued by 11% compared to our fair value estimate of USD 240 per share.

"Amazon dominates its markets, especially in e-commerce and cloud services. The company benefits from numerous competitive advantages and has become the clear leader in e-commerce due to its scale and reach, offering consumers an unmatched selection of competitively priced products. The long-term trend towards e-commerce continues unabated and the company continues to grow its market share despite its size. Prime connects Amazon's e-commerce activities and provides a steady stream of high-margin recurring revenue from customers who shop more frequently on Amazon. In return, consumers receive same-day delivery of millions of items, exclusive video content and other services, creating a powerful virtuous cycle in which customers and sellers attract each other. The Kindle and other devices further strengthen the ecosystem by attracting new customers while making the value proposition irresistible to existing users.

Through Amazon Web Services, Amazon is also the clear market leader in public cloud services. In addition, the company's advertising business is already large and growing as advertising has found its way into Amazon's streaming offerings, making it an attractive option for marketers seeking access to a vast audience with a variety of proprietary data points about those very consumers. The growth of AWS and advertising is expected to continue to outpace the growth of e-commerce and be the key growth drivers over the next five years. This is critical as each of these segments generates higher margins than the company average, which in turn should result in both operating profit and earnings per share growth outpacing revenue as margins continue to increase.

From a retail perspective, we expect further innovation to help gain further market share in a post-lockdown world. We also expect to see further penetration of categories such as grocery and luxury goods, which have not yet seen the same success as other retail categories. We see technological advances at AWS and increased efforts to attract enterprise customers as factors that will help to maintain the company's leadership position in this area. Overall, we expect good sales and free cash flow growth in the coming years."

What do you think? Where will these stocks be in 10 years

I am curious

It is April 2020, and I am a young and hopeful student who has been studying the theory of financial education for several years and decide to take advantage of the supposedly unique opportunity of the "crash" to finally enter the stock market despite limited capital.

Theoretically, the idea was that it should be easy to get in during a difficult market phase, as all assets should be cheap due to the uncertainty. At least cheaper than they were before. When markets fall, multiples fall too. So even if you don't get everything right or even get a lot wrong, from a purely mathematical point of view you should still be better off than someone who got in in 2018 or 2019. So far, this logic is actually conclusive.

But the pandemic crash was not a normal crash. And I actually find it far too interesting not to talk about it.

In my experience, there is still a lot of talk today about the new markets in 2001 and the real estate bubble in 2008. However, the exciting market phase of the pandemic has hardly been looked back on at all. This may also be due to the fact that we don't feel we can look back at it yet, as we can still feel the effects and have barely really overcome them. However, it is now slowly becoming apparent that a new era has dawned on the market, which is primarily about tariffs, trade deficits and currencies.

But what makes the pandemic a bad time to start?

If you look back at the charts of some securities (and for the sake of clarity, I would like to refer mainly to equities here), you can see several things.

In the case of shares with a gravitas such as $BRK.B (-0.73%) only a tiny corona dent can be seen on the long-term chart. From this you can see that it didn't really matter when you invested. However, the earlier the better. It was important to invest at all, but it was not necessary to wait for a specific point in time. However, this even applies to clear pandemic losers such as $BKNG (-0.5%) and $EVD (-2.21%) .

For some stocks like $AMZN (+0.05%) and $MSFT (+0.87%) the entry point during the actual crash was not ideal. There was an optimal entry point for both stocks recently, but this would not have been apparent until 2-3 years after the crash. Both stocks survived the pandemic almost unscathed, but were then affected by severe secondary factors that put the business under pressure.

Stocks like $TMO (-2.01%) or $AFX (-3.6%) were considered pandemic winners. You could have picked them up at the beginning of the crash ... or you could have left them alone and got them back 5 years later at exactly the same price as before the pandemic started.

And now the worst category: hype stocks. The absolute catastrophe happened to all those who were looking for opportunities where there were actually none. Whether investments in emerging markets or hopes for the future in $ZM (+0.73%) and $FVRR (-0.66%) - Money that was taken out of the broad market ended up largely concentrated in assets that will not reach their ATH for another 20 years. Anyone wanting to be in it for the long term found their Waterloo in the pandemic. Some companies such as $EUZ (-2.05%) or $SRT (-2.25%) may well be doing great things. But here the "crash" was simply the absolute worst entry opportunity of the entire decade.

Correction Edit: I only found a group of stocks that I really needed to buy in the crash and that was Big Oil. There were certainly other stocks that were a bit cheaper at the time. But for the most part, it was not essential to enter at the low point in order to make good returns. That is what made this market phase so difficult. The good stocks were NOT extremely cheap, but there were many bad stocks that were extremely expensive. For newcomers, such a situation is incredibly difficult to navigate.

I closed 2020 with +12% and 2021 with +8% only to get a -22% in 2022. So I didn't make any returns at all in the first 3 years and just paid a lesson.

I thought I would have been smart at least not to have entered in 2018/2019 when all shares were valued much higher on average. But I might have gained experience in these two years so that I would have had more guidance in 2020. Or I could have started in 2022/2023, when there were no more hype stocks and you could pour money into the market with a watering can and it almost always turned into a flower.

I recently saw the portfolio of a friend who restarted his portfolio in 2022. Almost the same portfolio size as mine. However, while I have made 7% p.a. since the start of my portfolio, he has an IZF of 15%. With a portfolio size of 100k, this means that I am sitting on €12,000 book profits and he on €33,000

Backtests are currently showing that my strategy has really put me to sleep and put me to sleep by ALL known and common indices over 5 years. The only consolation here is really the 3-year performance, where it is clear that I can keep up with the major indices and also leave a few big names behind me.

So on a positive note: I'm getting better.
