$AAPL (+0.52%)

Apple is overvalued in my opinion, no longer particularly innovative and while the debt is rising, the equity continues to fall. I could of course be wrong, but then I would still have one position less in my portfolio (54) and in the end I still have a lot of Apple thanks to the ETFs.

IBM with strong profit growth but sales disappoint + Tesla share jumps after quarterly figures + Musk promises two million robotaxis per year + Coca-Cola exceeds expectations in the third quarter + TUI picks up speed: Break made and share price continues to rise

Strong demand for software has IBM $IBM (+4.22%) a surprisingly high quarterly profit. The artificial intelligence (AI) developed by the IT group is trustworthy and powerful, said CEO Arvind Krishna on Wednesday. He expects similar growth rates for the annual financial statements as in the past quarter. He is also confident of achieving the full-year target for free cash flow, which was raised to twelve billion dollars a few months ago and is used as an indicator for the dividend amount. Thanks to the growing demand for profitable AI software, IBM made a net profit of 2.30 dollars per share in the past quarter. The volume of the AI order book, which includes orders and booked sales related to this technology, has grown by one to three billion dollars in recent months, emphasized CEO Krishna. However, due to a weakening consulting and infrastructure business, total sales fell short of expectations at 14.97 billion dollars. The gloomy economic outlook had an impact here, explained IBM CFO James Kavanaugh in an interview with the Reuters news agency.

The electric car manufacturer Tesla $TSLA (+0.05%) earned more in the past quarter than Wall Street had expected. The share price jumped by more than nine percent at times in after-hours trading in New York on Wednesday. In terms of turnover, Tesla just missed analysts' forecasts. Revenue rose by eight percent year-on-year to just under 25.2 billion dollars. The market had expected an average of around 25.4 billion dollars. The money that Tesla earns from the sale of CO2 certificates to car manufacturers with combustion engines also played a role here. In the pure car business, turnover rose by two percent to a good 20 billion dollars. On the bottom line, Tesla's profit rose by 17 percent year-on-year to around 2.17 billion dollars. Adjusted earnings per share amounted to 72 US cents - while analysts had only expected 58 US cents. Tesla increased deliveries in the past quarter by six percent to just under 463,000 vehicles. The lion's share of this was made up of around 440,000 cars from the more affordable Models 3 and Y. However, the new electric pickup "Cybertruck" now follows them in third place in the ranking of electric vehicles sold in the USA, Tesla announced without providing a specific sales figure.

Elon Musk is backtracking on his bold promises to make Tesla the leading provider of self-driving cars. At least two million vehicles of the specialized robotaxi model "Cybercab" will be built annually, "maybe four million in the end", Musk said at the presentation of fresh quarterly figures. He qualified that the forecast was his "best possible estimate". Moreover, every current Tesla electric car will be able to drive autonomously anyway.

The Coca-Cola Co. $KO (+1.89%) beat analysts' estimates of USD 0.75 with earnings per share of USD 0.77 in the third quarter. Sales of USD 11.9 billion above expectations of USD 11.63 billion. Coca-Cola exceeds expectations in the third quarter with organic sales growth of nine percent, although net sales declined slightly. The Group is more optimistic for 2024 and is raising its forecast for organic sales growth to ten percent.

The TUI share $TUI1 (+0.34%) gains more than one percent to 7.62 euros on Wednesday. The next resistance level is the psychologically important 8 euro mark. If further buyers come onto the scene, it could continue above this level towards 9.50 euros. A horizontal resistance can be identified there - the November 2022 high was around EUR 9.48.

The enemy of the best is often the good.

I have these ETFs in my portfolio:

$TDIV (+0.59%)

$GGRP (+0.8%)

$FUSD (+0.76%)

$FGEQ (+0.47%)

Some, if not all, have outperformed the MSCI World at times.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the moment they are all about the same weighting and should be increased further. While I am trying to implement a growth strategy with equities, these ETFs are intended to generate passive income.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Objectively speaking, I would have to sell the $FUSD (+0.76%) as it further increases the US share and overlaps heavily with at least two of the other ETFs. In other words, it reduces diversification in all respects.

But on the other hand $FUSD (+0.76%) also the one with the best past return and will probably remain so in the future.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One approach could be to take the US weighting and overlaps into account in the ETF weighting of the portfolio and implement it as follows, for example:

$TDIV (+0.59%) 40%

$GGRP (+0.8%) 30%

$FGEQ (+0.47%) 15%

$FUSD (+0.76%) 15%

If the ETFs were weighted in this way, the following allocations would result:

Countries/Regions:

USA 56.4%

Canada 4.4%

Europe 33.2%

Asia 5.4%

Top 10 weighting:

$MSFT (+0.08%) 3%

$AAPL (+0.52%) 3%

$VZ (+1.42%) 2,3%

$CVX (+0.88%) 2,1%

$ROG (+0.88%) 2%

$NVDA (+1.51%) 1,9%

$PFE (+1.18%) 1,7%

$HSBA (+0.37%) 1,6%

$IBM (+4.22%) 1,4%

$AVGO (+1.3%) 1,4%
