Hello folks,

And the DeepSeek narrative from a year ago has also disappeared.
I hope you are well invested in the shovel manufacturers who are building the infrastructure for the big 7. And supply them with electricity.

In a small town in Louisiana, Mark Zuckerberg is having the largest artificial intelligence data center ever built for Meta on agricultural land. It is the size of 70 soccer pitches and cost 10 billion dollars.
Rayville is a town in north-eastern Louisiana in the USA that is experiencing a declining population. In the 2020 census, the population was 3347, down almost 21 percent from 4234 in 2000.
However, this is now likely to change. The state regulatory authorities approved a controversial plan to supply power to the largest artificial intelligence data center to date, which is being built by technology company Meta. This clears the way for the construction of three gas-fired power plants. This was reported by the portal "Nola".
The project is being built on a former agricultural area of around 70 soccer pitches. It is expected to cost around 10 billion dollars (approx. 8.6 billion euros). Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced plans to further expand the area so that it would be comparable to the size of Manhattan. The company is plunging headlong into the high-risk race for supremacy in the emerging AI sector.
"We chose Louisiana as the location for our largest data center to date for a variety of reasons, including excellent infrastructure connectivity, a strong labor base and a reliable power grid," said a Meta spokeswoman.
Criticism of Meta plans
However, the project in Richland Parish has met with criticism due to its enormous energy requirements, among other things. Davante Lewis was the only person to vote against the plan. He said the agreement leaves fundamental questions unanswered that are "too bitter to swallow", "Nola" quotes him as saying.
Small position in the MidCaps $EME (+2.7%) . Not in the big news, but decent PE 20, FPE 17, great EPS F5Y, no debt, 26% ROIC, 6% EV/FCF, 1.06 Beta, 24% Return in last 10 Years, including +16% in 2022 and only -5% in 2008. 18% under valued if you believe analysts :D. 3 months in lateral. My first position in industrials, hope it behaves properly. Any opinions?
Beat the S&P500 Challenge
I have been thinking about which stocks I could use to beat the S&P500 index.
After a lot of research, I have now decided on 20 American shares, which I will save 100 euros/month each in savings plans from 01.04.2024. As I didn't want any overlaps/duplications with my ETFs (World and Consumer Staples), I chose companies from the second tier. Perhaps one or two of the stocks will also be of interest to you 😉
The portfolio will contain the following shares:
I know that it will be difficult to beat the S&P500, but I still want to try...

Veganz - The Berlin-based company is planning to go public in the next few months. The offering volume is expected to be around 50 million euros.

USA - The extreme backlog of container ships on the West Coast is to be relieved by making the Port of Los Angeles operate around the clock. Currently, there are about 500 thousand containers on board waiting to be cleared.
Especially fashion groups specializing in fast fashion are hit hard by the delivery bottlenecks, as Asian goods are very much behind schedule. Both H&M ($HMSB (-0.41%)), Bohoo ($1B9 (+4%)), as well as ASOS ($DYQ (-0.66%)) are complaining about the current situation and expect further delays and rising raw material prices.
Volkswagen ($VOWA (-1.02%)) - The automotive group wants to make production more efficient. VW CEO Diess has presented scenarios in the meeting of the control body with a strong reduction of jobs, which should affect up to 30,000 employees. This would mean that every 4th employee would be affected by the job cuts.
However, this measure is only to come into effect if the Group fails to make the transition to e-mobility quickly enough. Diess wants to compete with Tesla in the future, which plans to produce 500 thousand cars per year in Grünheide in the future.

U.S. Becomes Bitcoin Stronghold - In the United States, the Bitcoin hash rate of 35% now ranks #1 in the world. The mining ban by the Communist Party of China is hitting Chinese miners hard. But as a result, other countries are benefiting greatly. Even Germany is overtaking China, currently carrying 4.5% of the Bitcoin hash rate. However, it is possible that Chinese miners, disguised by a VPN, continue their business in other countries.
