Comdirect - Birthday promotion!

Good morning dear Quinies,

I became aware of a cool Comdirect promotion through our dwarf's junior custody account.

First of all: I had a custody account with Comdirect for many years before I switched to ING and never had any problems there and always received first-class support when I needed it. I only switched at the time for cost reasons. As part of the campaign that I would like to present to you in more detail, I have now opened a second custody account with Comdirect again.

Specifically, Comdirect is offering the following when opening a custody account until 05.12.2024:

• Free custody account management (already standard for regular savings plan executions)
• Free savings plans for the entire available range of shares, funds, ETFs and certificates for 30 months
• 3.90 flat fee per trade (i.e. no additional costs in live trading, otherwise plus exchange-dependent fees)
• When opening a Tagesgeld-Plus account, there is 3.0% p.a. for 30 weeks on this account for new customers

Why have I opened a second custody account there?

As some of you may know, share savings plans at ING are subject to a fee. In addition, unlike ING, Comdirect offers the option of adding other/more shares/ETFs (a number of growth stocks, REITs and private equity, which are not possible with ING) to a savings plan. This was the decisive advantage for me. Comdirect also offers the option of taking out a securities loan and opening foreign currency accounts. Of course, I also used a payback coupon when I opened the account💰(more content from me on the subject of cashback soon😉, I received/will receive 6,000 points, which equates to €60, so some trades would already have been financed).

Since my main strategy at ING runs fully automatically without any effort on my part, but I realize that I'm getting a bit bored without a bit of playing and experimenting in the investment area, I'm using the second custody account at Comdirect as a "gamble portfolio" for the next 30 months. After that, the securities will probably be transferred to ING and I'll think about what to do with them.

So I will invest part of my Christmas money (€2,500) once on 23.11.24 as a savings plan in the following 6 individual stocks and 4 ETFs and then save €25 each month on the 1st for the next 30 months (we are really talking about gambling money here, share of the portfolio <5% of my total portfolio):

$PLTR (+6.35%)

$CPRT (-1.97%)

$SFM (-2.81%)

$D05 (+0.1%)

$RR. (-0.37%)

$SOFI (+1.24%)

$VUCP (-0.29%)

$K0MR (+0.24%)

$JEGP (-0.04%)

$FLXX (+0.17%)

From January 2025 I will share monthly updates on my "gamblefolio" here with you.

If you are interested in opening a securities account with Comdirect as part of the birthday campaign, please use the reference link in my bio😉.

I hope you find the article interesting (please leave a like).

Have a nice, relaxed Sunday🆓😎.

Greetings, Marcus

In February 2024, I opened a securities account with Trade Republic and started saving 60 "stable" stocks from the S&5 500 per month with the aim of beating the S&P ETF in the long term. Since May, more than 30 additional stocks have been added and have proven to be an excellent decision so far. Among others $SFM (-2.81%)
$AMP (+0.61%)
$CMI (-0.12%)
$SNA (+1.15%)
$FI (+1.27%)
$PANW (-2.12%)
$ANET .

There are now over 150 positions and not only 🇺🇸 shares (over 90%) in the portfolio but also a handful from 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇳🇱🇯🇵🇸🇬. They still have to prove their quality, but so far only 🇺🇸 stocks have delivered performance.

9 months since the start, my "ETF" can keep up quite well although the goal of beating the S&P500 has not yet been achieved. But I'm close and in July the gap was somewhat wider.

Conclusion: The popular dividend stocks have not provided performance in the portfolio as $JNJ (+0.03%)
$KO (-0.4%)
$PG (-1.24%)
$PEP (+0.05%) The popular growth stocks from the semiconductor sector have not yet been able to prove their quality either. $ASML (-1.59%)
$SNPS (-1.06%)
$KLAC (+0.46%)
$LRCX (+0.38%)
$AMAT (+0.53%) The healthcare sector has also been somewhat disappointing. $ISRG (-0.89%) and $SYK (+1.48%) are positive exceptions here.

The usual suspects, on the other hand, have performed very well, although Microsoft is lagging a little behind. Otherwise, the financial sector and almost all stocks in the industrial sector have performed well so far.

Let's see how things continue to develop.😁

So and a little tidying up again... But without additional purchases... I don't really know where it's worthwhile right now. I'll end up putting everything into an ETF :D The state coffers will be happy - but I'm happy to do something for the non-existent government ;)

Out are:

$VICI (-0.32%) and $O (+1.22%) half each

$CVX (+0.4%) - bought a week before the election

$TSLA (-4.58%) - bought a week before the election

$SFM (-2.81%) - Thank you @Simpson for the great share. I had seen it at some point in your SparplanDepot and saw how well it was doing, so I got in at some point.

Sprouts Farmers Market

Value from the second row!

Sprouts Farmers (SFM) Q2 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates:

https://www.zacks.com/stock/news/1963351/sprouts-farmers-sfm-q2-earnings-and-revenues-surpass-estimates?cid=CS-ZC-FT-tale_of_the_tape|yseop_template_4-1963351

"Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times."

A very interesting stock, somewhat surprisingly steep today.

Old Swede... 24% down after publication of the figures. They are "only" okay and the outlook is now very conservative (but realistic), but does that justify this sell-off? Or am I missing something?

Just in time for closing time, I'd like to show you one of my favorite stocks in the midcap segment: Sprouts Farmers Market!

Sprouts is a US organic supermarket chain. The sustainable idea hits the spot. They are the third largest organic supermarket chain in the world.

Key figures overview:

P/E 20: 10.75

P/E ratio 21e: 12.6

Gross margin: 36.78

Net operating margin (NOPAT): 5.5% and thus second-best margin of all main competitors (see NOPAT overview)

ROCE: 24

Leverage ratio &lt; 4 x EBIT (3.3)

Why Sprouts? Firstly, the very favorable valuation, and secondly, the good market position compared to the competition. Sprouts is in a growing market and meets the ravages of time.

Why also interesting in the short term? Consumer goods stocks with some pricing power can take advantage of slightly higher inflation to push through higher prices to sustainably increase their margins.

What do you think? Who has been shopping in a Sprouts Market? I would be very interested in the experience 😊
