... In my opinion, this is not the ideal time to buy, but some stocks, especially in the more defensive area, are comparatively attractive for me right now, especially as they can also be a defensive anchor if tech should correct again. As far as tech is concerned, I'm waiting for that.

Today I have:

$WM (+0.14%)
$RSG (+0.25%)
$PG (+1.66%)
$COKE (+1.49%)
$KO (+1.62%)
$LIN (+0.45%)
$CSL (+0%)
$NEE (+1.72%)
$DB1 (+0.24%)
$DTE (-0.03%)
$COST (+0.61%) bought

all about the same amount... Linde a little more, Carlisle a little less...

Dear community, as you can see, the above-mentioned sectors are poorly represented in my portfolio, so in order to diversify my portfolio more, I am looking for exciting stocks that I would like to take a closer look at.

Especially $VST (-0.55%) and $CEG (-1.65%) performed well due to the AI hype and the supply of data centers. $NEE (+1.72%) has more difficult cards to play at the moment due to Trump's policies.

Do you currently have any companies on your watch list?

Hello everyone,

Almost 3 years have now passed since my last portfolio presentation.

A lot has happened in that time.

About me: I follow a core-satelite strategy and focus on dividends/dividend growth. My current savings rate is around €1000 per month and I am 27 years old.

I want to continue saving in the portfolio until I retire and use it as additional income.

I am well aware that I would be better off with an accumulating ETF due to my still long savings period, but the regular distributions help me to stay "on the ball".

The aim over the next few years is to increase the proportion of ETFs as core to 70-80%. Monthly savings will be made in the $VWCE (-0.27%) and the $TDIV (-0.02%) . The second is currently being built up. The second FTSE All World is saved separately at €20 per month.

I'm currently wondering whether I should invest in stocks like $KO (+1.62%) / $NEE (+1.72%) / $JNJ (+0.27%) into the $TDIV (-0.02%) to keep the portfolio simpler.

Feel free to leave your opinion - I'm curious 🫡

Morgan Stanley expects these companies to benefit greatly from the global trend towards AI integration, whether through leading chips such as NVIDIA, cloud and software solutions such as Amazon, Alphabet or Salesforce, or specialized applications in energy, industry and biotechnology. With tech giants expected to invest almost 400 billion US dollars by 2026, demand in many of these segments could explode. But while the list reads impressively, there is still the intriguing question of who will ultimately benefit not only from the hype, but also from the sustainable use of this technology.

When $BRK.B (+0.63%) started during the Corona crisis $OXY (-0.57%) and $CVX (-0.05%) many people didn't understand this. Tech was more popular than ever at the time and oil was considered dead. A short time later, it became clear that oil was here to stay. As discussed in the last market review, the energy sector was one of the best investments during the pandemic.

However, this was probably a special boom for fossil fuels that was to remain a one-off. Since the price explosion, the energy sector has been in a very weak trend and is the worst performing sector directly after healthcare (which could therefore also be very interesting at the moment).

In particular, the dynamic has shifted from oil & gas to electricity - which, however, is not counted as part of the energy sector in the classic GICS but as part of the utilities sector. The reason for this is, of course, the expected triumph of artificial intelligence and the associated hunger for energy in data centers. The best-known company in the sector is probably $NEE (+1.72%)

In any case, Buffet's investments in fossil fuels have not been particularly worthwhile to date, as he may have made a favorable initial entry, but then often bought at unfavorable prices. At the current point in time, the investment case has not yet worked out. It is therefore an interesting question whether Buffet is speculating on something that has not yet been understood by the market or whether it is one of the rare situations in which the good Warren has miscalculated something (think of the disaster around $KHC (+0.6%) ). At any rate, it is difficult to understand what Buffet was thinking and whether his theory is still intact.

Incidentally, I myself am not invested in either utilities or energy, which I think is a great pity. However, I have not been able to identify any company that is currently really convincing in terms of its figures and can be described as a quality company.

What about you? Do you have any oil, gas or electricity stocks in your portfolio?

(And the < 5% exposure in the World ETF does not count)

To give me a better overview, I have looked up the publication dates of all the quarterly figures of the companies in which I am invested.

Ps: Does anyone have the dates of the quarterly figures for $SHEL (+1.44%) ? Unfortunately I can't find them online.

After making my first small investments of a few hundred euros in the stock market in February '25, I added a larger amount in the course of April. It also took some time to develop an investment strategy; where do I want to invest? What risk do I want to take? Accumulating or distributing? ETFs and/or individual shares? If so, which ones and why? Are there specific countries and/or sectors I would like to focus on?

Only at the end of last week were all the answers to these questions clear: a long-term investment horizon of just over 35 years with relatively low risk. A healthy ETF/share mix of 60/40. Distributing portfolio with high-yield and high-growth positions and with a relative focus on the USA and Europe.

I have a good feeling that I am happy with my strategy in the long term and finally no longer have to constantly turn the entire portfolio inside out.

My ETFs and individual stocks are $HMWO (-0.27%)
$TDIV (-0.02%)
$DGSD (-0.41%)
$MAIN (-1.54%)
$NOVO B (-0.76%)
$PGR (+1.78%)
$PSA (+0.89%)
$UKW (-1.57%)
$APH (+0.21%)
$DHL (-1.39%)
$HSBA (-0.49%)

$VID (-0.06%)
$RACE (-0.01%)

I'm still missing one or two candidates for this sector in my portfolio. Who do you see as a utility in a top position for this development over the next few years? Are there any globally positioned candidates? I once had $IBE (+1.2%) in my portfolio, today I regret the sale. $NEE (+1.72%) I find it quite exciting.

AI is set to drive surging electricity demand from data centers while offering the potential to transform how the energy sector works

The electricity consumption of data centers is expected to more than double to around 945 TWh by 2030. This is slightly more than Japan's current total electricity consumption. Alongside the rising demand for other digital services, AI is the most important growth driver. The USA accounts for by far the largest share of this forecast increase, followed by China. In the USA, data centers are responsible for almost half of the growth in electricity demand between now and 2030. By the end of the decade, the country is expected to consume more electricity for data centers than for the production of aluminum, steel, cement, chemicals and all other energy-intensive goods combined. After 2030, uncertainties increase further, but our baseline scenario assumes that global data center electricity consumption will rise to around 1,200 TWh by 2035.

I think it's about time. But not for an all-in, because 🍊 is unpredictable 😄

Also bought:

$AMZN (+0.22%) (x2) $GOOGL (-1.31%) (x2) $NVDA (+0.2%) (already a few days ago) $DELL (+2.5%) (x2) $PG (+1.66%)

x2 means a few days ago and today.

At the top of the list are $NEE (+1.72%)
$WM (+0.14%)
$ORI (-0.27%)
$PANW (-1.08%)
$HD (-0.04%)

PS: my crystal ball says it's time, because we've now approached a zone twice. But whether this is actually a first indicator of a positive outlook... who knows...
