I don't go along with one or the other title in the short term (TSLA, NVDA), but good compilation. 💪

PS: You still need a cool name for the portfolio.

Do you think Mastercard makes almost 100%?

In the short term? Nope. In the medium term, probably not.

But have a look at the corresponding video on the HKCM channel (19.6.) and also at my reaction video? Have fun...

Best regards,

Angelo from Finanzen Anders

Annotation:

The majority of the GQ community is really great.

Unfortunately, there are a few "mimimis", "sheriffs", "bored", "envious", etc. who complain that I include links to my respective YouTube video.

It just so happens that my main channel is YouTube. I'm not going to write huge treatises and post them here when I can do the whole thing in short videos.

I would like to offer this link as a service to anyone who is interested:

Everyone else, you are free people, you don't have to get upset, attack me, etc. - block me and enjoy your life.

Mastercard CEO Michael Miebach: The most powerful German manager in the world

Once again a little bit of gold dust from the OMR podcast series.

"Michael Miebach has been CEO at Mastercard for three years now - and thus responsible for a company that is worth more than 550 billion euros on the stock exchange. In the OMR Podcast, the manager talks about his rise to the top of the US group, the differences between Mastercard and competitors such as American Express and the great growth opportunities in payment processing between companies. He also reveals why Mastercard sponsors events such as the Champions League despite its sales focus on banks and B2B customers, why he sees Paypal and Apple as partners rather than competitors, and how he views the situation in the world following the election of Donald Trump as US president."

Stock search for long-term portfolio

Hello dear people!

I am looking for new and interesting stocks for my long-term portfolio and would like to build up a few new positions.

They should be growth stocks with high quality, away from the big tech stocks.

In addition, they should be rather cheap/fairly valued.

Dividends are not a priority for my investment strategy, so classic defensive dividend stocks would not be an option for me.

Either purchase in tranches or as a monthly savings plan.

Thought I'd ask the great GQ community for advice, maybe you can give me a few new ideas or some inspiration and tell me your favorites 💡

I'm looking forward to your answers/comments 🤗

Why I own them

Today I want to share with you 5 of my holdings and tell you exactly "why I own them" - a quick overview of why I got a strong conviction:

1. $MSFT (-0.36%) sells its leading software and services to both consumers and enterprises. The company's Azure cloud platform and Office 365 suite have significantly driven growth. Microsoft generates 50% of its revenue from the US and 50% internationally. Millions of individuals and businesses worldwide rely on Microsoft's software and productivity tools for their daily operations. Future growth should be propelled by its cloud services, AI and strong enterprise software demand.

-- FCF ROC: 19% I FCF Growth: 15% I FCF Linearity: 0.95 --

2.$MA (+0.99%) a major player in global payments processing, offers credit, debit and prepaid cards, along with digital payment solutions to consumers and businesses worldwide. Mastercard processes close to $6tn transactions per year. Mastercard generates 35% of its revenue from the Americas and the rest internationally. Like Visa, growth has been driven by the shift from cash to digital payments and expanding global commerce. Mastercard's extensive network, strong brand and advanced security measures offer a significant competitive edge.

-- FCF ROC: 42% I FCF Growth: 15% I FCF Linearity: 0.95 --

3. $MSCI (+0.21%) sells investment decision support tools, including indices, portfolio risk and performance analytics, to institutional investors globally. Over $1 trillion in ETF assets are linked to MSCI indexes. Growth has been driven by the increasing adoption of its indices for benchmarking and passive investment products like ETFs. MSCI's strong brand reputation, comprehensive data and analytics capabilities give it its competitive advantage.

-- FCF ROC: 31% I FCF Growth: 18% I FCF Linearity: 1.00 --

4. $CDNS (+2.46%) sells electronic design automation (EDA) software predominantly to the semiconductor industry. 44% of revenue is from the US. Cadence has benefited from the increasing complexity of chip designs and the demand for advanced electronic devices. Its competitive advantages include a comprehensive suite of design tools and long-standing industry relationships. Cadence is well-positioned to capitalise on its critical role in the design process.

-- FCF ROC: 31% I FCF Growth: 19% I FCF Linearity: 0.99 --

5. $FTNT (+2.67%) provides cybersecurity, including firewalls, antivirus software, intrusion prevention systems and endpoint security, to enterprises and service providers. They have over 730,000 customers across most industries, including healthcare, finance, tech and government. Future growth drivers include the expanding cybersecurity market, adoption of cloud security and growing demand for secure network solutions.

My Portfolio

Today I‘m sharing with you my main portfolio. This doesn’t include any ETF investments and crypto currencies / gold etc. since I want to focus my presence on getquin on stock-picking.

Read my 3-part portfolio strategy posts to get the full picture - here are just the main pillars of what I‘m doing:

Long-term buy and hold (average holding time 5+ years at least)
Focus on high-ROIC compounders riding secular trends (top-tier capital efficiency)
High margins, strong FCF growth, large moats (7 powers strategy)
Holding not more than 20 stocks at a time while mainly focusing on US and EU based companies

I like to divide my holdings into „core holdings“ (forever stocks) and „trend picks“ (2030 stocks) as follows:
