BNP Paribas ADR Stock Forum

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to introduce you to my portfolio. As you probably know, it's just too much fun to expand my portfolio with new stocks. There are now a few too many, but I still can't really part with my worst-performing stocks ($NVM (-1.6%) , $ENPH (-5.34%) , $WAC (-3.19%) ). I'm hoping that I'll be able to sell them in positive territory at some point, or am I on the wrong track and in your opinion should I sell at a loss and try to make up the loss with other stocks?

I have been investing since the end of 2022 and at 29 years old, I still have a long time to go. My strategy is to be as desertified as possible in sectors and to beat the market in the long term (just let me believe that it works :D), hence so many individual stocks. I want to hold these for many years (esp. $AMZN (+1.9%) , $GOOGL (+1.13%) , $QCOM (-2.78%) , $MSFT (+1.59%) , $V (-0.03%) , $MC (-3.23%) , $SALM (-0.62%) ) but I'm also not too keen to pocket the profits. Are there any stocks in my portfolio that you would view critically for the next few years and would be worth considering selling? Recession and all that...

Priority is on growth, which is reasonably safe, so only a few small caps - but a few bets have to be in there :) ($AIDX (+4.25%) , $NRX (-3.29%) , $ITM (-2.83%) , $F3C (-4.67%) , $MITK (-0.33%) ). But with rather small amounts, probably too small or what do you say?

At the same time, I would also like to claim a €900 allowance via dividends ( $BATS (-0.23%) , $ENB (-1.4%) , $BNPQY , $STLAM (-1.97%) , $ENGI (-0.29%) , $RIO (-1.93%) ) and secure a trade or two.

Recently I have been investing 240€/m in the $XDWD (-0.4%) and between 200 - 500€/m in individual shares (depending on what is left). Actually, I want to increase the existing shares properly now, but somehow there are always nice entry options in solid companies like $0L2T (-3.63%) , $ZTS (-0.95%) , $ADM (-1.96%) , $PANW (+0.4%) , $ENR (+5.94%) . Help what to do? :D

And then there's also crypto $BTC (-0.59%)
$NEAR (+3.21%)
$ADA (-4.02%)

And Japan, they're doing well too $4063 (-0.7%) , $6501 (-2.75%) , $8001 (+0.02%)

Looking forward to your feedback and advice!

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

Daimler ( $DAI (-0.93%) ) - Despite a massive drop in sales, Daimler was able to post surprisingly good numbers in the last quarter. Thanks to higher prices, the company was able to keep its revenues almost stable and even increase its profit. Net profit rose by 21 percent and now stands at 2.47 billion euros. Analysts expect the share price to rise as Daimler has proven its strength and resilience.

Facebook / Meta ( $FB2A (+0.4%) ) - The group is changing its name to "Meta." The idea is to create a brand that unites all of the group's businesses and products. The reason for this name is the planned metaverse that the group wants to build.

𝗖𝗿𝘆𝗽𝘁𝗼 💎

Ethereum ( $ETH-USD (-1.02%) ) - Following the successful launch of the Altari Beacon blockchain update, ETH hit a new all-time high of $4,400.97 last night. The upgrade paves the way for ETH 2.0, which will be based on proof of stake rather than proof of work. ETH has been able to maintain bullish momentum since July, when its price was still at $1,780. Ethereum has particularly benefited from the rise of DeFi and NFT in recent months.

Thanks a lot @MarketNewsUpdate for the shoutout! ;)

𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗧𝗼𝗚𝗼 - The Berlin-based StartUp, which founded an online platform for vacation homes, celebrated its IPO last Wednesday. This ran off not in the classical way, but over the fictitious purchase of the enterprise over a stock exchange coat company (SPAC). Because of this, the IPO did not take place in Frankfurt am Main, as is usual for German companies, but in New York on Wall Street. The startup raised around 250 million euros through the IPO, which, however, exceeded previous expectations.

𝗟𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱𝗲 - The ECB chief estimates that the impact of the Evergrande problems is currently limited to China. Lagarde assumes that Europe will only be directly affected to a limited extent.

Bafin also estimates the impact on the German market as rather low and has therefore not yet requested a stress test from those banks under its supervision.

𝗭𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗸𝘂𝗻𝗴 - Turkey lowers the interest rate and lets the Lira sink thereby.

On Thursday evening, Turkey unexpectedly lowered its interest rate, although an inflationary environment continues to spread and real borrowing costs have already turned negative. After the decision, the lira plunged 1.5 percent, marking an all-time low.

Inflation stood at 19.25 percent last month.

𝗧𝗼𝗺 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗱𝘆 - The legendary football star and seven-time Super Bowl winner has long been known for his affinity for cryptocurrencies. Brady has also had a presence in the NFT space. For example, he founded his own NFT trading platform called "Autograph," where sports legends, such as golf star Tiger Woods now, can sell their own NFTs. Brady is now going one step further. In an interview, he announced that he wants to receive part of his NFL salary in the form of cryptocurrencies in the future. For him, this involves Bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (-0.59%)), Ethereum ($ETH-USD (-1.02%)) and Solana ($SOL-USD (-0.82%)) come into question. The super athlete currently earns an annual salary of $25 million.

Enjoy your Friday ✌️
