$WSM (+3.3%) Is anyone holding the stock on Trade Republic? The split has been done for a long time but the Buy IN price at TR is still wrong for me. Does anyone else have the same problem? If not, I hope to get a qualified answer from the support team.

#grueneostern Very satisfied. The portfolio will be 3 years old in April. 2022 was difficult but also took some opportunities that are now paying off, even the emerging markets $IBC3 (-0.54%) are green for the first time in 3 years :D here's to the next few years:-)

In the individual stocks $WSM (+3.3%) is a surprise after all. Followed by $AVGO (-0.41%)
$HIMS (+18.12%)
$KLAC (-1.4%) & $NOVO B (-1.37%)

It is always nice to see the dividend growth strategy in one's own portfolio confirmed again. $WSM (+3.3%) announces a 26% dividend increase plus an extended share buyback program. Dividends and yields do not have to be mutually exclusive. If you have a long investment horizon, you just shouldn't bet on initially too high dividends.

In the picture: OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries) is an organization of 13 oil-producing countries based in Vienna, Austria. Key member countries include Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, Venezuela and the United Arab Emirates.

OPEC's main task is to coordinate the production volumes of its member countries in order to influence the global oil market and oil prices. By setting production quotas, OPEC can control supply and demand on the oil market and thus influence prices. This power enables the organization to exert both economic and political influence, which can have a global impact.

Portfolio Feedback

This has been a long marathon, finally the sub-portfolio is complete - at least for now. It took us a little longer than a year to reach the intended number of 10 different stocks! 😄

What do you think about the selection? Would you have replaced one stock with another? 🤔

At this point, it is worth mentioning that I have already initiated the sale of UFP Industries. The reason for this is not that I am not convinced by the performance, but the "post-treatment" of the return: the income cleaning extremely reduces the return in that case. Lastly, in a Patreon post, I had explained again in detail what you should pay attention to when selecting stocks related to revenue cleansing (note: it is not only the share of impure revenue that matters) 😁

Do you guys have a replacement candidate for UFP? 🤔

As-salaamu 'alaikum warahmatul-laah, thanks for the great contributions. How about rebuilding the "arero world fund" halal compliant?;) Would be an interesting project, if it goes at all topical.
