One position $VICI (+1.28%) in the 🚮

And from 🚮♻️ $WM (+0.07%) in the depot

have a nice evening ✌️

$VICI (+1.28%) from the depot for an initial purchase at $WM (+0.07%)

I took a chance with a first tranche, and I think we are $WM (+0.07%) are getting closer and closer to a more attractive valuation level.

A lot has happened in my portfolio again in recent weeks. In addition to a few sales (including $GOOGL (-1.02%) and $NVDA (-0.07%)) from hot sectors, I have built up cash and diversified further ($CMG (+1.69%)
$SNPS, (-0.36%)
$BRO (+1.52%)
$AMGN (+0%)
$LSEG (+0%)). Further acquisitions and new entries (e.g. $INTU (+0.52%)
$ADP (+0.71%)
$WM (+0.07%)
$CTAS (+0.79%)
$RMS (+0.68%)) are planned. As short- to medium-term trades, I have invested in $Adobe (+1.5%) and $TTD (+0.3%) as short to medium-term trades. I mainly invest for the long term, but a correction (technology, cloud) including sector rotation (consumer, pharma, software) seems inevitable to me. I am therefore taking a wait-and-see approach and, if necessary, I will reenter $GOOGL (-1.02%) and $NVDA (-0.07%) again at the appropriate time.

Please let me know what you think.

I will probably share future updates with you every two months at the beginning of the month (November, January,...).

I wish you all a successful time.

Day Investors!

I mainly invest in dividend aristocrats and dividend kings.

I usually buy shares that have fallen due to weak economic phases or other stock market events and therefore have a high dividend yield at lower prices. The growth and accumulation of my dividends is important to me. I don't speculate on turnarounds, but make sure that the companies in my portfolio have a solid business model and continue to be profitable enough to increase their dividends annually.

Regular quarterly figures and annual reports are therefore very important to me.

Currently, my portfolio has a gross dividend yield of over 5% and annual dividend growth of over 8%.

I have recently started to invest more in growth stocks in order to compensate somewhat for the weak share price performance to date. These include, among others $HD (+0.19%) , $AMD (-1.37%) , $WM (+0.07%) , $GOOGL (-1.02%) etc. Also $UNH (-0.96%) I count as well. To be honest, $UNH is a small "trade". If it pans out, I would have secured a 3% dividend yield along with strong growth... which is pretty rare. FOMO.

Maybe it's also $NOVO B (-1.76%) to this. 😜

My dividends are taxed in accordance with the double taxation agreement.

So far, I've collected €9,000 in dividends and reinvested every cent of it.

I like to exchange ideas with other investors, especially dividend investors.

Hello, GetQuin community. I have been a silent reader for quite some time now and wanted to share my portfolio with you.

First of all, I am M22 and started investing in the market in 2020 with small amounts. I currently still live at home with my parents. I have a completed apprenticeship, but I decided to catch up on my A-levels to be able to study. I also have a part-time job.

• My savings rate is therefore only €300 a month
• 100€ goes into a call money account as a reserve
• 200€ goes into my savings plans which I list below

My strategy is a classic core-satelite strategy to build up a small fortune for the future.

The core therefore consists of 4 ETFs which I invest in monthly as follows:

• 60€ $XDWD (+0.28%) MSCI World ETF to cover the most important companies from developed markets.
• 25€ $EIMI (-0.98%) MSCI EM ETF to also cover emerging markets.
• 20€ $XDWT (+0.01%) as I would like to invest more specifically in the IT sector, because I think that this will continue to experience major growth in the future.
• 20€ $SAEU (+0.68%) I specifically wanted to save in this ETF to increase the European share and because I am very convinced of the weighting of the companies.

Now I come to my individual shares in the savings plan:

• 10€ $LIN (-0.2%) Linde convinced me very early on, and not just because I deal with them every day at work. Good growth and, in my opinion, a strong future.
• 10€ $PG (-0.34%) Strong products, my daily companion in the care and household sector.
• 10€ $DHR (+1.37%) My favorite in the life science sector, I think Danaher will be back in the future.
• 10€ $DTE (+0.19%) As a German company, I can no longer imagine telecommunications without it.
• 10€ $DE (-0.66%) John Deere is an emotional investment (🥹) I was already a big fan of Deere machines as a child. Today still a progressive company in my opinion.
• 10€ $NKE (-0.32%) Fundamentally a very successful company, I am a fan of the company history and the shoes, think that Nike will sooner or later return to its former strength.
• 10€ $WM (+0.07%) Waste disposal and recycling are becoming increasingly important, environmental solutions are a big issue. Why not WasteManagement?
• 5€ $CSCO (-1.06%) Big player in the field of cybersecurity, which is becoming increasingly important. I am convinced of the company.

I also hold shares in a few other companies, the reasons for which are described below:

• $SHEL (+0.53%) I bought some time ago, important and large energy company. I will continue to hold them in the future.
• $NESN (+0.29%) I bought them back then and am now just waiting to be able to sell them at a positive price.
• $NU (-0.44%) I am convinced of the company, I think that Nu will have a successful future.
• $O (+0.59%) I only save Realty Income through the cashback offer from TR, simply to get a few monthly dividends for a good feeling.

I don't save my cryptocurrencies monthly. I started putting a super small amount into Bitcoin early on. I just leave it to work.

$BTC (+0.56%)
$SOL (+0.94%)

I would now appreciate a little feedback, criticism and food for thought.

Thank you very much

Hello to the community ✌️

I would like to reduce the size of my portfolio.

my portfolio currently consists of 1 ETF and 40 individual shares.

my goal is to reduce the number of individual stocks to around 30-32 positions over time 🤔

There are currently 2 positions at the top of the closing list

$NKE (-0.32%)
$REGN (+0.77%)

I would like to add 2,3 more positions, but unfortunately I don't have the imagination to get rid of them 😅

Maybe with the help of the community here, to make the decision a little easier😬

On the other hand, I also want to $COST (-2.44%) & $WM (+0.07%) despite the still high valuations, but they are absolute Dauerläufer🤷🏼‍♂️

What are your opinions?

which positions would you throw out?

and why exactly these?

Thank you !
