$NOVO B (-3.33%)
$NVO (-2.29%)

First entry

So I just realised that I've been investing for exactly 1 year and 1 week, so I thought this would be a good moment to reflect. I'm 36, the total portfolio size is 50k+ and the money isn't needed in short term. My portfolio summarised:

1. ETF core, 50% at minimum: $VDEV (-1.75%) and $VFEM (-1.73%) , recently added $EUE (-0.93%) as I see more potential in the EU than in the US in the short-medium term. I like how a combination of these 3 ETFs allows for more adaptability than simply putting everything in a world ETF. Plus, the TER is a bit lower.

2. Individual stocks, max 10 positions, only including companies that I understand and have faith in that they will perform well in the next couple of years. The goal is to at least match $IWDA (-2.41%) but preferably to make some additional gains. In summary:

Tech:

$NVDA (-2.82%) : committed after the post-Deepseek dip, will just wait out all the short-term turbulence

$AMZN (-4.95%) : doesn't need additional info.

$ASML (-2.28%) : ditto

$VRT (-4.34%) : see one of my previous posts on GQ. Bit too volatile for me now, but when the AI-hype picks up again, will perform well.

Health:

$NVO (-2.29%) : I have a lot of faith in the GLP1-narrative, stock is very undervalued

$LLY (-0.99%) : same at NVO, got pummeled hard recently but in longer term another good bet in the GLP1-race.

Divident:

$ALV (-0.53%) : popular German insurance company. Divident-wise, I have more faith in insurance companies than banks. Banks also face more headwinds due to fintech.

$ASRNL (-0.95%) : comparable to Allianz, solid, no-nonsense Dutch insurance company.

Bit more speculative:

$NU (-6.73%) : I think fintech has a lot of potential and NU was valued quite cheaply compared to US- or EU-based counterparts. Could benefit from US recession if USD evaluates.

What are your thoughts? What would you add or lose? I'm thinking of adding $GOOG (-5.69%) when the current downtrend subsides. Does make the portfolio more tech-heavy but all companies are internationally oriented (in case of US recession) and should outperform in the longer term.

Thanks in advance!

Today S&P reached an important support level and I started my buy strategy.

After that I bought back some $TROW (-3.41%) shares, $NVO (-2.29%) and $ENI (-1.06%)

And I was thinking to add to my portfolio one of those, $GOOG (-5.69%)
$META (-5.26%) or $MSFT (-3.93%) wich one would you choose?

Coming in strong with this on the basis that I previously held zero Med and i have seen some regulars mention it a lot.

Intention, hope for good earnings report and dump at 10k or more.

Am I stupid? Honestly question i ask every day.

Thumbs up = good

Sos = not good
