Plug Power

My current low performers

These shares are currently in the red for me. I'm wondering whether I should sell these shares or buy more. With $NKE (-6,85 %) and $PLUG (+9,5 %) I am pretty sure that I will sell these shares as soon as they recover somewhat. With $AMD (-0,35 %) as a semiconductor company, I can imagine that it will play a major role in the future and I am therefore toying with the idea of increasing my position in $AMD (-0,35 %) to increase my position. With $MC (-0,25 %) however, I am absolutely unsure whether I should increase or sell my position. I would therefore like your opinion on this. What would you do if you were in my position?

Hello everyone,

I would also like to introduce myself and my portfolio briefly and concisely.

I've been a silent reader for a few months now. Now it's time to reveal a bit about myself.

About me:

My name is Sebastian, I'm 30 years old and I live in Bavaria. I live with my girlfriend in a house I inherited from my parents. I work in the business world as a mechanical engineer.

I can't say exactly when I started investing. I probably started about 4-5 years ago by participating in share bonus programs through my work. Otherwise, my investments have been steadily increasing since the coronavirus era. I was mainly triggered by Finfluencer. There are good and bad things about that. Good: I started investing. Bad: I bought a lot of things stupidly/blindly. I'm now trying to straighten that out and no longer follow such people.

Monthly savings rate approx. 2.5 to 3.0 k€.

I am not fully invested. I have and will continue to have a good cash position.

About the portfolio:

The aim is to create a healthy mix of growth, dividends (growth) and a stable, healthy basis. The dividends also serve somewhat as a "bonus".

As mentioned above, I have (or had) some stocks in my portfolio that I was/am not satisfied with and which I have therefore recently cleaned out and reallocated the freed-up capital. The reorganization process is still ongoing. Roughly speaking, I would generally like to have fewer individual stocks in my portfolio and will shift the weighting to ETFs.

About the individual stocks in the portfolio:

• $IUIT (+0,28 %) This is a pillar of my portfolio. It runs with a monthly savings plan for €1000. The idea behind it is an ETF that gives me a good return and ideally outperforms "world ETFs". Sure, it's an ETF from one sector, but I think that's fine. The savings plan will continue to run.
• $HMWO (+0,26 %) Also a pillar of my portfolio. Runs with a monthly savings plan for €1000. My selected "World ETF". Savings plan will continue to run.
• $XAIX (+0,11 %) I am unsure about this. Also a sector ETF. Runs with a savings plan of €250 per month. Also technology-heavy. I'm thinking about cashing it out to compensate for the losses and to take profits from the current tech hype.
• $SHL (-1,01 %) Largest single share position. Created through the share program mentioned above. 250€ monthly savings installment. The shares are sold selectively as soon as all the conditions of the program have been met and I have received maximum bonuses. I then switch directly to other stocks so that the SHL position does not become too large.
• $KO (-0,4 %) It has recently become a pillar of my portfolio. Dividend growth, acceptable share price growth, few fluctuations. I like it. Will not be expanded for the time being.
• $MCD (-0,31 %) See CoCa Cola. Has recently become a pillar of my portfolio. Dividend growth, acceptable share price growth, few fluctuations. I like it. I also see the share as strong in the real estate sector. Falling interest rates could trigger another good move here. Will not be expanded for the time being.
• $GOOGL (+0,94 %) difficult. It has performed well, but is now considering realizing profits. Through my ETFs. I already have this stock indirectly in my portfolio. However, I have deliberately increased the weighting of this individual stock in my portfolio. Rather than buying more, I would rather take profits. However, I would add to it again after a correction.
• $MC (-0,25 %) To be further expanded. Target 10k in the portfolio. I used the last small price slide as an additional purchase. Long-term investment. Will be bought at the next opportunity.
• $AMZN (+0,26 %) See Google. I already have this stock indirectly in my portfolio. However, I have deliberately increased the weighting of this individual stock in my portfolio. Rather than buying more, more profit-taking. However, I would add to it again after a correction.
• $JNJ (+0,03 %) To be further expanded. Target 10k in the portfolio. Dividend growth, acceptable share price growth, few fluctuations. I like it.
• $PG (-1,24 %) Recently added to the portfolio. This stock should give the portfolio further stability. Target of €10k in the portfolio.
• $V (-0,14 %) Recently added to the portfolio. This value should give the portfolio further stability. Target of €10k in the portfolio.
• $NKE (-6,85 %) Difficult position. The recent dip was hard. Outlook also not good, if not bad. As things stand, I would like to sell this share. But I am reluctant to sell with a loss of just under € 1k. I will probably hold on for a while and then decide objectively. I had invested a little here after the dip in order to take advantage of a potential countermovement. I could have saved myself the trouble...
• $BLK and $TROW (+1,25 %) same segment. I would like to decide on a share here and then expand it into a pillar of my portfolio. But which of the two...?
• $SBUX (-1,55 %) Doesn't really fit into the portfolio anymore. The outlook isn't great either. I will probably sell it at +-0€ and shift the capital into a position to be expanded.
• $MPW (+1,92 %) Legacy and memorial! Will continue untouched for now.

Of course, there have also been some failures so far, some of which have depressed performance considerably.

Any examples?

$YSN (+1,42 %) : -36,80%

$PLUG (+9,5 %) : -61,58%

$PYPL (-0,38 %) : -14.68% (good luck for bad luck...)

$NKE (-6,85 %) and $MPW (+1,92 %) can probably be counted as well.

That's it. It has become a smaller wall of text. Sorry for that.

Feel free to give me feedback on my thoughts and the portfolio.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

What do you think $PLUG (+9,5 %) finally make the turn around ?

After reading along for quite a while now, I wanted to share my progress with you and perhaps get some feedback and a few opinions.

With the execution of the savings plans today, my main portfolio (I still have about 3/4 of the sum parked with BitPanda, but I think the interface sucks and therefore don't track it with GQ) has slipped over the 10k mark for the first time.

I'm very happy about that because it was quite a long way to get there. From various bad decisions ($PLUG (+9,5 %)
$SLI (+4,71 %) ) to consistently miserable entry points (during Corona AFTER the prices picked up again, Crypto in the middle of the last ATH,...) everything was actually there.

At the beginning of the year, I then decided to build up a dividend portfolio, had invested heavily in

$O (+1,22 %) and $BATS (-0,24 %) and immediately questioned everything again. In particular, what I actually wanted to achieve with the portfolio.

Looking at the performance of various World ETFs and the S&P500, I (hopefully) finally decided not to reinvent the wheel and stick to what works.

I then rebuilt my portfolio to its current state.

The two ETFs form the basis, supplemented by the $XDEM (+0,53 %)

Various individual stocks fly around it.

$UBER (-0,14 %) and $NU (-0,2 %) are the last remnants from the beginnings two and a half years ago. I bought the rest relatively recently. As my aim here is to beat my benchmark ((YTD Performance World ETF + YTD Performance S&P500)/2), I sit down once a month and enter everything in a spreadsheet. I look at the monthly performance, the annual performance and the YTD performance. If an individual share is below my benchmark for two out of three values, I put it under observation. If this remains the case for three months in a row, I sort it out. I am curious to see where the journey will take me. Currently on the hit list are $8002 (+0,5 %) and $MELI (+2,5 %)

I would be delighted to hear from anyone who is doing something similar and how things are going.

Finally, the framework in which I am traveling: I am 31 years old and moved from Kiel to Vienna last year, where I am currently working as an intern to finally finish my studies. My savings rate is currently 750€ per month (250€ crypto, 500€ individual stocks and ETF) and I save all the positions in my portfolio with a savings plan. The savings rate is quite new and has fluctuated a lot in the past.

Thanks to everyone who has read this far and thank you for your feedback and suggestions.

Have a nice evening. :)
