Hello Community,

As previously announced, I would like to give you a brief overview of the current changes in my portfolio today.

I keep my securities account with ING-DiBa.

There are fees for savings plans on individual shares in the amount of 1,75 % of the savings amount, while ETF savings plans are free of charge.

I also use an overnight deposit account, which unfortunately currently only pays 1,25 % interest.

Individual orders in direct trading are charged at 4.90 euros plus 0.25 percent of the investment amount if they are not part of a savings plan.

Sales in the last few weeks:

-ADM $ADM (-0,56 %)

-Medical Properties $MPW (+0,31 %)

-Virgin Galactic $SPCE (+1,33 %)

- Alphawave $AWE (+3,16 %)

Purchases this week:

-Rheinmetall (first purchase) $RHM (+1,1 %)

-NU Holding (subsequent purchase) $NU (-0,48 %)

My strategy for 2025:

In a nutshell:

Everything as always with me - savings plans and targeted individual purchases when the price and available cash are right.

This strategy has proven itself over the years and will remain my approach in 2025.

I have planned another sale when the share price is right and would like to buy DHL Group
$DHL (-1,02 %) from the portfolio and invest the cash in Rheinmetall position.

Current savings plans (monthly):

-225 € ~ FTSE All World $VWCE (+0,12 %)

-100 € ~ Tesla $TSLA (+0,56 %)

-50 € ~ Microsoft $MSFT (+0,93 %)

-50 € ~ Alphabet $GOOGL (-1,05 %)

-50 € ~ Palantir $PLTR (+2,25 %)

-25 € ~ Merck & Co. $MRK (-0,11 %)

-25 € ~ Walmart $WMT (+0,05 %)

-25 € ~ Allianz $ALV (+0,69 %)

-25 € ~ RTX $RTX (+0,02 %)

-25 € ~ Home Depot $HD (-0,08 %)

-25 € ~ Apple $AAPL (-0,6 %)

-25 € ~ Intel $INTC (-1,07 %)

-25 € ~ Coca Cola $KO (-0,04 %)

-25 € ~ McDonald's $MCD (+0,08 %)

-25 € ~ Rheinmetall $RHM (+1,1 %)

Current allocation by asset class in the portfolio:

-94,33 % Equities

-3,62 % Crypto

-2,05 % Gold

🔖 My approach to savings plans:

When I add a share to my savings plan, I always start with a basic investment (between €2,000 and €2,500) before I start with regular savings amounts.

I make sure that the share price is attractive at the time of entry - ideally I use a short-term dip.

Dividends received are always reinvested immediately, either through savings plans or targeted purchases.

Note on REITs (Realty Income and STAG):

Unfortunately, ING-DiBa does not offer monthly savings for REITs.

I therefore invest the dividends directly in my Allworld savings plan instead.

My position in Realty Income
$O (-0,36 %) and STAG
$STAG (+0,6 %) this year through individual purchases.

Watchlist with planned purchases:

-Euwax Gold 2 (additional purchase) $EWG2 (+0,41 %)

-Palantir (additional buy) $PLTR (+2,25 %)

-Nvidia (additional purchase) $NVDA (+4,77 %)

-Reliance Industries (initial purchase) $RIGD (-0,35 %)

-Aerovironment (initial purchase) $AVAV (+0,6 %)

I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my portfolio.

I don't actually do that much, as I simply save my positions on a monthly basis and make targeted individual purchases.

P.S. I discover impressive portfolios on Getquin every day and keep coming across stocks that I am not yet familiar with.

The articles on various topics are also simply great.

Many thanks to the fantastic community and the daily "education"! 🫶

Best regards,

Michael

War of the billionaires: Ambanis take on Elon Musk. $RIGD (-0,35 %)

A super-rich billionaire family against the world's richest man: a real war has broken out between the Ambani clan from India and the US eccentric Elon Musk. And - how could it be otherwise - it's all about money.

The showdown is taking place on Earth. But just like their bank balance, the object of Mukesh Ambani and Elon Musk's desire is literally in completely different spheres - in this case, outer space. The two are currently fighting more or less publicly over parts of the broadband market in India.

My dears,

After recently talking about the most expensive wedding in history.

Today I would like to introduce you to the most expensive private residence in the world.

And once again it's about

Mukesh Ambani.

Would that be a reason for you to

$RIGD (-0,35 %)

or does it put you off?

Groom Anant's father - entrepreneur Mukesh Ambani - is the head of Reliance Industries, India's largest private company (including natural gas products, oil, textiles and media) - and by far the richest man in Asia, according to Forbes, with a fortune of around 117 billion euros.

$RIGD (-0,35 %)

What do you think of my investment in $RIGD (-0,35 %) ?

I have deliberately chosen none of the usual oil / gas companies. Disadvantage are always the few numbers and valuation of emerging market stocks.

Haven't seen the company in anyone here yet, hence my interest.;)

𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 🏛️

Softbank ($SFT (+12,99 %)) - According to insiders, Japanese technology investor Softbank is negotiating with German company United Robotics to buy the French robotics business centered around the humanoid robot Pepper. The Bochum-based company United Robotics already works with Softbank and distributes its Pepper and Nao robots in Europe. There was no official comment from either company on the takeover rumors.

Evergrande ($EV1) - Shortly before the deadline, the Chinese real estate group Evergrande was able to make a multi-million dollar interest payment. It was transferred 83.5 million U.S. dollars to the bondholders. As a result, the share price rose by more than seven percent in the meantime. So far, the shares have lost more than 80 percent of their value in 2021. But further interest payments are also due soon. On October 29, the next grace period for a bond expires. To be able to pay banks, suppliers and bondholders on time, Evergrande must therefore continue to raise money.

ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF Update - The ETF is so extremely popular that there is now a risk that it is well on its way to hitting the existing futures limit. One way to counter this bottleneck would be to extend the investment contracts. However, in doing so, there is a risk that the fund will be too different from the actual bitcoin price and will no longer track it one-to-one. The ETF created by ProShares was the first fund ever to exceed $1 billion in assets under management in just two days.

Solana ($SOL/EUR (+1,28 %)) - One of the strongest gainers in recent days was once again the Solana blockchain cryptocurrency SOL. After growing 36.8% in the last seven days, SOL's current price is $205.28, resulting in a market cap of $61.56 billion. SOL thus overtakes Ripple XRP ($21XX (+1,08 %)) and ranks sixth among the world's largest cryptocurrencies. One of the main reasons for SOL's strong growth is likely the booming DeFi (Decentralized Finance) sector of the Solana blockchain. Solana differs from other blockchains, such as Ethereum or the Binance smartchain, by its incredible speed and extremely low transaction fees.
