It's still expensive at the moment compared to a few months ago, but there has been a small setback bit by bit over the years :)

Hey guys, today invested in $7974 (-4,66 %) - shares today - first position set!

Have you heard about the gaming boom? 🎮 Shares in video game companies are rising rapidly in 2025. This is due to highly anticipated releases such as Grand Theft Auto 6 and the Nintendo Switch 2.

Investors are excited because the market for video games could grow to an incredible 282.3 billion US dollars this year. Statista reports an annual growth rate of 8.76 percent for the next three years. Demand is particularly strong in China and the USA, where almost half of the revenue is generated.

The new generation of gamers is ensuring that video games are becoming increasingly popular. Social networks and mobile devices are also contributing to the reach.

So if you are interested in stocks like Nintendo $7974 (-4,66 %) or Take-Two $TTWO (-4,32 %) now could be a good time to get in. Gaming ETFs are even outperforming the S&P 500!

What do you think about the future of the gaming market? 📈

Sooo I started this week too. Traditionally, there was a small rebalancing at the start of the year. Nintendo is no longer my biggest single position. In the meantime it actually is $COST (-3,84 %) . Likewise $PEP (-0,85 %) was reduced somewhat. Nothing new has been added.

If I haven't miscalculated, the last tax-free shares in Nintendo are gone. Everything that is still in the portfolio is from 2012 and 2014. $VOW3 (-0,64 %) but that's a small part of just under 8k that I'm leaving behind.

Pepsi was sold at a slight loss so also tax-free. I simply chose too large a position at the time.

A total of around 20k was freed up. Existing positions were increased with the money, namely $SOLB (-3,01 %)
$FMC (-3,72 %)
$JNJ (-1,11 %) and $RACE (-0,96 %) another 2k was put into my core $VWRL (-3,47 %) was put into my core.

I have been regularly investing in Nintendo shares for months, as the announcement of the new console could be imminent. Nintendo wants to have unveiled the supposed Nintendo Switch 2 by the end of March 2025. Either the console will be a great success and the share price will rise, or the opposite will happen - I'm curious! $7974 (-4,66 %)

Fun fact: In theory, I have already financed the new console with the previous return. #nintendo

Now before the (probably) imminent presentation of the Nintendo Switch 2 in $7974 (-4,66 %) invest? 👀

First dividend for this month and thus the Japanese season is also open
