Thank you, Deutsche Bank!

First hundred percent on a share, would have happened much earlier if I hadn't $RHM (+0,47 %) sold so early 😅😅

fifth share I had ever bought.

With the forecast of 40 degrees here in Cologne today, you should concentrate on trading in the early hours before your head gets muddy.

Today I would like to show you in several posts what happened in my portfolio yesterday. Regardless of savings plans, there were 6 trades yesterday, 4 triggered by trailing SLs and 2 new purchases.

The first one to leave my portfolio was a call on the $DBK (+0,82 %) . As it was not that profitable, I chose the SL quite far away. When the DAX fell briefly yesterday, the call was gone. But since many people would also like to have posted losses, here you go

Liberation Day on April 2, 2025 was just two months ago, but it feels more like two years ago on the stock markets.

The markets have become accustomed to Trump's mood swings and the old adage is proving true once again: political stock markets have short legs

Monthly view:

My portfolio saw a massive rise in May and May 2025 is the second best month in the last 5 years with +8.1%. Only November 2021 was marginally better at +8.5%.

This corresponds to price gains of ~20.000€.

The MSCI World (benchmark) was +3.6% and the S&P 500 +6.1%.

Winners & losers:

A look at the winners and losers shows a completely different picture in May than in the last 2 months - Suddenly everything is green again.

On the winners is mainly made up of the stocks that have fallen in recent months: US tech

In 1st place is NVIDIA $NVDA (+1,7 %) with price gains of almost €5,000. This is followed in 2nd & 3rd place by Microsoft $MSFT (+0,32 %)
and Meta $META (+0,03 %) with price gains of just under €2,000 each. 4th place goes to Ethereum
$ETH (-0 %) with ~€1,400 price gains, finally making up some ground on Bitcoin $BTC (+0,32 %) . In 5th place is another tech stock with TSMC $TSM (+0,99 %) and +1,300€.

On the losers' side looked very relaxed in May. The biggest loser was Apple $AAPL (+0,15 %) with just under €300 in share price losses. In 4th place was Allianz $ALV (-0,33 %) with -120€, although this also corresponds to the dividend discount after the payout. So it's really significant when the dividend discount leads to a share ending up on the flop list of the month.

The performance-neutral movements in April were ~€500 - these are still lower at the moment due to the house building issue.

current year:

In the YTD my portfolio was still at -12,4% clearly in the red. Thanks to the strong May, it is now only -4.3%, although the MSCI World is still slightly better off at -3.3%.

In total, my portfolio currently stands at ~273.000€. This corresponds to an absolute decline of ~€12,000 in the current year 2025. -14.000€ of this comes from exchange rate losses, slightly offset by ~1.700€ from dividends / interest and ~3.200€ from additional investments.

Dividend:

• Dividends in May were +22% above the previous year at ~465€
• German equities were in the lead with Allianz $ALV (-0,33 %) and Deutsche Bank $DBK (+0,82 %) - Both with ~€120 (gross) dividend
• In the current year, dividends after 5 months are +25% over the first 5 months of 2025 at ~1.620€
• 
  I have reached another milestone with regard to the rolling 12-month view. For the second time, I have received over €3,000 in gross dividends for the last 12 months. This figure has now risen to over €3,100
• However, the fall in the US dollar is still having an impact on my dividend forecast - unfortunately, the growth rates in the second half of the year do not look very good compared to the previous year

Buying & selling:

• I bought in May for 885€
• 520€ shares
• 265€ ETFs
• 100€ crypto
• Sales There were none in May

Adjustment of savings plans for the second half of the year:

After a long time, there will be adjustments to my savings plans for the second half of the year. With Starbucks $SBUX (+0,01 %) Apple $AAPL (+0,15 %) and Hershey $HSY (-1,31 %)
three shares will be removed from the savings plans. Starbucks and Apple will remain in the portfolio, Hershey is still open.

I will be adding Allianz $ALV (-0,33 %)
which I have held in my portfolio for many years and bought individually in 2020.

In addition, the London Stock Exchange $LSEG (-2,26 %) and Iberdrola $IBE (-0,31 %)
will be added to the portfolio.

I go into these adjustments in detail in the YouTube video (see next section).

YouTube:

My portfolio update for May can be seen there again in the usual form.

Unfortunately, things are a little quieter there and here on getquin at the moment.

There are some private and professional issues at the moment that are taking up a lot of time.

Goal 2025

I haven't really set myself any goals for 2025 due to the topic of building a house. A fixed savings rate is difficult to implement due to the issue (unforeseen costs and the like).

A dividend target will also be very difficult due to the high volatility of the US dollar.

That's why I'm focusing on other topics this year, especially building a house and possibly one or two successes in terms of YouTube.

How did May look in your portfolio?

Porsche significantly lowers forecast

In China, the sports car manufacturer Porsche $P911 (+0,32 %) is facing a serious sales crisis. In the first quarter, the company recorded a 42 percent drop in sales. This decline is not only due to weak demand in China, but also to the US import tariffs, which are weighing heavily on Porsche. As a result, the company has revised its annual targets sharply downwards. The return on sales will now be between 6.5 and 8.5 percent, whereas previously a range of 10 to 12 percent was targeted. Turnover will be reduced by 1 to 2 billion euros, so that it should now be between 37 and 38 billion euros. In the worst case scenario, operating profit could fall to just 2.4 billion euros - a massive drop compared to 5.6 billion euros in the previous year. A key factor in this development is the US tariffs, which force Porsche to import vehicles from North America, increasing costs by 25 percent. In addition, Porsche is currently holding back deliveries to the USA in order to better assess the impact of the tariffs. The planned reorganization of battery production also poses a challenge, as Porsche wants to realign its activities in this area in order to be able to react more flexibly to market changes.

Deutsche Bank reports highest quarterly profit in 14 years

In the USA, Deutsche Bank $DBK (+0,82 %) achieved an impressive quarterly profit in the first quarter of 2023, reaching its highest level in 14 years. Pre-tax profit rose by 39% year-on-year to over €2.8 billion, while net profit climbed to around €1.8 billion. This profit growth is the result of better business in all areas as well as targeted savings. Investment banking in particular contributed around 3.4 billion euros to the increase in earnings. CEO Christian Sewing emphasized that the company has already achieved 85 percent of the targeted cost reductions of 2.5 billion euros. The "Deutsche Bank 3.0" restructuring program is intended to increase the company's efficiency, with the aim of achieving a return on equity of over 10 percent by 2025. A figure of 11.9 percent was already achieved in the first quarter, underlining the positive development.

Slump in the DAX: investors are seeing red

There is a great deal of uncertainty on the stock markets at the moment, and this is being further fueled by US President Trump's aggressive tariff policy. On the last trading day of the week, investors have to accept massive losses in the Dax. Of the 40 companies listed in the leading German index, only two shares were able to record a positive closing price. The remaining 38 stocks experienced double-digit declines in some cases. Deutsche Bank was particularly affected $DBK (+0,82 %)which fell by 9.77 percent, and MTU Aero Engines $MTX (+0,24 %)whose shares fell by 8.11 percent. Deutsche Börse, Infineon $IFX (+1,41 %) and Siemens Energy $SIE (+1,95 %) also suffered losses of more than 7 percent. The Dax itself closed 4.95 percent lower at 20,641.72 points.

Trade war continues to weigh on the markets

Pressure on the markets remains high as uncertainty over trade relations between the USA and China persists. China's announcement that it would impose counter-tariffs on US goods has heightened fears of a full-scale trade war. At times on Friday, the Dax fell by up to 5.6 percent to 20,579 points. The MDax and EuroStoxx50 also suffered significant losses. There were significant declines in the banking sector in particular, which is heavily dependent on economic developments. Deutsche Bank and Commerzbank $CBK recorded losses of up to 12.1 and 9.3 percent respectively. Volatility on the markets is likely to remain high as long as the uncertainty surrounding customs policy persists.

Slight stability at Adidas and Beiersdorf

Despite the general downward trend, there were also some bright spots in the Dax. The shares of Adidas $ADS (+0,52 %) were able to maintain their position as the lone frontrunner with a plus of 0.54 percent. Symrise $SY1 (+0,4 %) and Beiersdorf $BEI (+0,55 %) also remained relatively stable, with Symrise recording a minimal gain of 0.01%, while Beiersdorf fell by 0.37%. Investors are hoping that the negative spiral of tariffs and counter-tariffs can be halted through negotiations, but the uncertainties remain and could continue to weigh on the markets.

2025 - A year to forget if you look at the first quarter. While things were still looking positive until around mid-February, things have been going steadily downhill since the middle or end of February.

March 2025 was the worst single month in my portfolio since 2013, with price losses of almost 10%. The negative market trend in the US and a weak US dollar naturally hurt my portfolio particularly badly.

Monthly view:

In total, March was -9,9%. This corresponds to price losses of almost 30.000€.

The MSCI World (benchmark) was -7.9% and the S&P500 -5.8% (in dollars, for euro investors it was also more like -10%).

Winners & losers:

A look at the winners and losers shows a clear picture in March:

Winners? You will look for them almost in vain this month.

In 1st and 2nd place are Deutsche Bank
$DBK (+0,82 %) and Allianz $ALV (-0,33 %) two German financial stocks with gains of around € +180 each. Northrop Grumman $NOC (-0,73 %) at +120€ is only one of 2 American stocks with a positive price performance in March.

A completely different picture on the losers' side:

1st place goes to NVIDIA $NVDA (+1,7 %) with price losses of over €4,200. It is followed by Meta $META (+0,03 %) and Palo Alto Networks
$PANW (+1,86 %) with price losses of ~€2,000 each. 4th place goes to Alphabet
$GOOG (+1,66 %) with €1,600 in share price losses. The flop 5 is then completed by a non-tech stock, namely Starbucks
$SBUX (+0,01 %) with losses of ~€1,400.

The performance-neutral movements were €500 in March - these are still lower at the moment due to the house construction issue.

current year:

In the YTD my portfolio is now also clearly in the red with -8,4%. The MSCI World is still doing better at -5.4%.

In total, my portfolio currently stands at ~260.000€. This corresponds to an absolute decline of ~€25,000 in the current year 2025. -28.000€ of this comes from exchange rate losses, slightly offset by ~900€ from dividends / interest and ~2.000€ from additional investments.

Dividend:

• Dividends in March were +8% above the previous year at ~390€
• At the top of the list Amgen
  $AMGN (-1,15 %) with meanwhile over 55€ (gross) dividend every 3 months
• In the current year, the dividends after 3 months are +15% over the first 3 months of 2025 at ~730€
• The US dollar will also have an impact on dividends this year. Example: 2,500$ at an exchange rate of 1:1 equals 2,500€. At an exchange rate of 1.08$, these 2,500$ would only be worth 2,315€, a decrease of ~185€

Buying & selling:

• I bought in March for 750€
• 460€ shares
• 190€ ETFs
• 100€ crypto
• Sales Was there no

Change of strategy?

At the moment, Donald Trump and his policies are causing a lot of scrutiny, especially with regard to the (high) US share in the portfolio.

I can understand these thoughts very well. However, I have decided not to change my strategy and to maintain my high US & tech allocation in my portfolio.

There are certainly better short-term investment opportunities (European defense stocks as an example). Through my savings plans, however, I have deliberately opted for a long-term buying strategy that I will not throw overboard every few months. In the long term, for example, 2022 was an extremely good year to buy tech stocks.

As I don't have a portfolio target for this year anyway, I'm happy to go even lower - hopefully I'll be happy about the entry prices in 2-3 years' time.

YouTube:

Unfortunately, I only uploaded 2 videos to YouTube in March. Unfortunately, work in March was extremely stressful and time-consuming, so there was little time left for this.

I have also uploaded my March portfolio update as a video there if anyone would like to see some more information on the portfolio performance: https://youtu.be/fxbvatj6uvM?si=xP_gvoEmtuqSsfz8

I'm particularly happy to receive criticism or feedback here! 😊

Goal 2025

As already mentioned in the January & February review, a fixed deposit target for this year makes little sense due to the house construction. A fixed savings rate is also difficult to implement due to the issue (unforeseen costs and the like).

A dividend target is also very difficult due to the high volatility of the US dollar.

That's why I'm focusing on other topics this year, especially building a house and possibly one or two YouTube successes.

How are things looking for you? Are you sticking to your portfolio target for 2025 or do you also see difficulties in achieving it after the first quarter?
