I was able to get in at $HOOD (+0,62 %) around €40 during the April slump and am now incredibly happy about it, not least because of the share price performance. I have always believed in the company, but the direction in which the company is developing is beyond my imagination.

So 1.5 weeks have now passed. The first gimmicks are over and my Watchlist Pie has returned a total of 4.5% in one week. This has now been sold and I have built up a pie to save for the next 8-10 years. I'm starting with 50€ a week until I've completed the broker's test phase. After that I'll ramp it up to about 1k per month.

There are still a few stocks missing, but the big ones will be scaled down a bit. Among others $IREN (+1,32 %) ....

What do you think of the selection?

$NVDA (+0,26 %)
$GOOGL (+0,23 %)
$MSFT (+0,46 %)
$AVGO (+0,15 %)
$005930
$AMD (-0,18 %)
$TSLA (+0,84 %)
$IBM (+0,52 %)
$RKLB (+0 %)
$NU (+0,98 %)
$SMCI (+0,76 %)
$HIMS (+1,25 %)
$ENR (-1,1 %)
$HOOD (+0,62 %)
$PLTR (+0,52 %)
$CSCO (+0,15 %)
$MTX (-0,3 %)
$TTD (+0,45 %)
$QBTS (-0,07 %)
$9866 (+3,15 %)
$CRWV (+1,85 %)

And what of course should not be missing is $SIKA (+0,84 %) These are still weighted at 2% 😉 As a craftsman, I really enjoy using the products myself. The technological progress compared to other products such as StoCretec or others is already enormous, but it would go beyond the scope of this article.

$HOOD (+0,62 %) publishes (voluntary) monthly updates. The report for July was published today and is convincing across the board. High trading volumes as a result of increased volatility played $HOOD (+0,62 %) into the cards.

Total platform assets now stand at $298 B, which corresponds to an increase of 108% compared to the previous year.

This rapid growth is also reflected in the share price. YTD is $HOOD (+0,62 %) up 142% for euro investors, and even higher in USD. A P/E ratio of 55 also indicates a high valuation. However, it is well known that the P/E ratio is not the best valuation indicator for growth stocks.

$HOOD (+0,62 %) According to my investment thesis, the US economy will be a major beneficiary of the largest wealth transfer ever in the USA in the coming years, when trillions of USD will be passed on to the next generation. A short to medium term catalyst could be the inclusion in the S&P 500 in September when the next rebalancing takes place.

Are you invested or are you considering $HOOD (+0,62 %) in your portfolio?

A short introduction on my part. I am 26 years old and have been investing for 3-4 years. The last two years I have done a professional training. This now enables me to earn a net salary of around € 3300 to start with. I also have a side business which also earns me around €1000 a month.

Now to the plan I'm pursuing until I'm 30. As you can see from my portfolio, my individual stocks are underperforming the market, although I am convinced of the values in the long term. I will therefore now shift my focus strongly in the direction of ETFs.

Savings plan in the future:

100€ per month in Bitcoin

100€ in a building society saver to get the 70€ housing construction premium per year (is a legacy from 2023 and has a good financing interest rate)

$HOOD (+0,62 %) and $HIMS (+1,25 %) should be saved up to a maximum of €1000 via a savings plan. I think both models are very promising, but I'm aware of the risk involved.

$IWDA (+0,27 %) I want to accumulate around €1800 per month as a core.

So I hope to have around the first €100,000 in my portfolio by then.

This will leave me €2200 to live on, which should be enough for a normal standard of living. Do you think the savings targets are realistic or do you think the 50% savings rate is too extreme?

Cathie Wood's ARK ETFs once again saw significant transactions on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, with a focus on technology and biotech stocks. The largest transaction of the day was the purchase of 738,367 shares of The Trade Desk Inc ( $TTD (+0,45 %) ) with a total value of $39,266,357. This move underscores ARK's continued confidence in the digital advertising platform, where the fund had already significantly increased its positions in recent days.

Another notable transaction involved Block Inc ( $SQ (+0,25 %) ), formerly known as Square. Here ARK sold 215,543 shares, representing a sizable value of $15,741,105. This sale represents one of the larger divestitures of the day and could indicate a strategic realignment of ARK's position towards the financial services and digital payments company.

ARK also made a significant purchase of 643,406 shares of Pinterest Inc ( $PINS ) worth $21,998,051. The social media company has repeatedly been in ARK's focus in the past, as evidenced by the continuous purchases over the past week. This trend points to a bullish assessment of Pinterest's growth prospects on the part of ARK.

In the biotech sector, ARK's ARK ETF purchased 128,896 shares of CRISPR Therapeutics AG ( $CRSP (+0,23 %) ) for a total value of $714,567, continuing its investment in the gene-editing company. On the flip side, various ARK ETFs divested shares of DraftKings Inc ( $DKNG (+0,53 %) ), Guardant Health Inc ( $GH (+0,28 %) ), Robinhood Markets Inc ($HOOD (+0,62 %) ), Palantir Technologies Inc ($PLTR (+0,52 %) ), Roblox Corp ( $RBLX ) and Shopify Inc ($SHOP (+0,61 %) ). The largest sell-off was DraftKings, with 221,203 shares worth $9,452,004 sold.

Other notable buys included Exact Sciences Corp ( $EXAS (-0,38 %) ) and Personalis Inc ( $PSNL (+0,5 %) ). ARK bought 93,753 and 134,035 shares worth $3,835,435 and $603,157 respectively. The continued purchases in these stocks could indicate a focused strategy targeting innovative healthcare companies.

Smaller transactions were also part of the day's activity. ARK bought shares in Compass Pathways PLC ( $CMPS (+1,39 %) ) and 10X Genomics Inc ( $TXG (+1,53 %) ). Despite the smaller dollar amounts, these purchases could be part of a long-term strategy that focuses on up-and-coming companies in the respective sectors.

Some of dear Cathie's transactions don't need to be understood but well, the young lady's returns speak for themselves.

$ARKK (+0,09 %) and $ARKF (+0,93 %) over 70% return since 365 days, I can only shine with +27% with my portfolio.

I will remain invested in $TTD (+0,45 %) My current portfolio has a lot of risk, as I have generated some cash.

At the moment I'm considering whether I should possibly $HMWO (+0,3 %) and $EQQQ (+0,31 %) or just the $VUSA (+0,32 %) into the portfolio.

Temporarily sold $AMD (-0,18 %) +35%, $HIMS (+1,25 %) +15%, $DOCN (-0,24 %) +9%.

I would re-enter Hims and AMD at certain prices and possibly add other companies to the portfolio if they fit my selection.

My positions:

$SOFI (+1,55 %)

$ZETA (+0,46 %)

$TTD (+0,45 %)

On the watchlist

$DDOG (+0,18 %)

$LNTH (+0,11 %)

$LMND (+0,94 %)

$TOST (-0,04 %)

$DASH (+0,02 %)

$BROS

$APLD (+1,39 %)

$SCI (+0,1 %)

Robinhood has become my largest position in the portfolio developed 🚀

It was not the perfect entry. It was not the perfect time. And also not the perfect execution of the trade. After all, I sold almost 25% of my position at around € 43 with a profit of +17% 🤡

But it was the right move: $HOOD (+0,62 %) to buy when others were selling!

Today, looking back, it seems obvious that the share price would rise, but three months ago, in the middle of the crash, there was pure panic 📉.

With a growing user base, booming stock and crypto trading and a clear market position, I am more convinced of Robinhood than ever before.

Robinhood has delivered very strong Q2 figures:

📊 Turnover +45 % to 989 million $

💵 Profit doubled to 386 million $

👥 26.5 million customers (+10 % YoY)

💰 279 billion $ Assets under custody (+99 % YoY)

-> This catapulted the share to a new all-time high. And investors are eagerly awaiting the inclusion in the S&P 500. The next rebalancing date is scheduled for September 2025 in September 2025.

What do you think of the share?
