$BAS (+0,39 %) BASF is my money-printing machine.

It prints a lot of money every year (dividends) and the sales value of the money-printing machine is irrelevant.

With this approach, I inherited 2,600 shares in 2020 and decided to hold them.

In 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, the machine printed €8,840 each year. In 2025 it will probably only be ~€6,000. Still okay, but nevertheless, the money printing machine is on shaky ground. Not much should go wrong in the next few years. Otherwise the machine will stop printing and I can sell it at the flea market.
