Today again with$ARCC (-0.52%) topped up today. Now it's enough for the start, and from next month I'll turn my attention to the next position in order to diversify even more. I have especially $CL (-1.22%) or $SCI (-1.46%) in mind. What have you bought in the last few days?

🔸 Tariff impacts included in outlook; FX remains a headwind.
Colgate is on - always.
$CL (-1.22%) The US company has been paying a profit share since 1895 and has been constantly increasing it for over 60 years. And this is exactly what Colgate has now announced again for this year: from the second quarter, there will be a four percent increase per share. I LOVE IT.
Portfolio Update
Dear community,
I have been investing for almost exactly 3 years now and pursue a dividend strategy with a "core" of 3 monthly saved ETFs.
After a personally difficult year in 2024, I am trying to keep my savings rate at € 200-300 per month in 2025.
This will be divided as follows:
50-100€ FTSE
30-50€ Europe
20-30€ EM IMI
The remaining approx. 100€ goes into my dividend share portfolio. I don't usually make any really strategic choices there to continue saving... I just save the ones I want... As I want to keep all the shares, I perhaps don't see any real reason to make a critical selection.
Maybe you can still give me some tips.
I would like to add 6 more dividend payers to my dividend portfolio in the future.
$CAT (-3.08%) , $CL (-1.22%) , $BATS (-1.03%) , $CSCO (+1%) , $SIE (+1.95%) , $WFC (-1.37%)
Thank you for your attention.
