Depot review May 2023 - Sell in May and... oh shit 🚀🚀🚀
"Sell in May and go away" - One of the most famous stock market sayings par excellence and following it would have cost me a lot of money this year.
In the depot May was with +4,0% the strongest month after January. Compared to May 2022 with -5.1% an extreme difference.
In the current year, my performance is currently +13,1% and thus significantly above my benchmark (MSCI World +9.6%).
Not surprisingly, of course, extremely strongly driven by NVIDIA $NVDA (+1,51 %) with +41% / + 2.700€. This accounts for almost one third of the price gains in May. Also strong Alphabet $GOOG (-4,95 %) and Palo Alto Networks $PANW (+7,32 %)
On the losing side, in May it was mainly Starbucks $SBUX (+2,42 %) Nike $NKE (+3,29 %) and Sartorius $SRT (-1,35 %)
In total my portfolio stands at over 210.000€ even though I only broke the 200,000€ barrier in April.
Dividend:
- Dividend +16% compared to prior year
- Current year dividends are +32% above first 5 months 2022 after 5 months
Purchases & Sales:
- Bought in May for approx. 3.200€
- Executed mainly my savings plans:
- Blue Chips: Caterpillar $CAT (+3,05 %) NVIDIA $NVDA (+1,51 %) TSMC $TSM (+1,17 %) Amgen $AMGN (+1,21 %) Procter & Gable $PG (+2,05 %) Johnson & Johnson $JNJ (+2,5 %) S&P Global $SPGI (+2,04 %) and as a new investment Hershey $HSY (+1,4 %)
- GrowthBechtle $BC8 (-0,68 %) and Palo Alto Networks $PANW (+7,32 %)
- ETFsMSCI World $XDWD (+1 %) Nikkei 225 $XDJP (+0,98 %) and the Invesco MSCI China All-Shares $MCHS (+0,13 %)
- Crypto: Bitcoin $BTC (-0,03 %) and Ethereum $ETH (-1,77 %)
- Sold with the x-trackers MSCI Emerging Markets my complete holdings of the ETF.
- Reasons for this are many, especially the weak performance
- Since I also have a pure China ETF monthly and China makes up about 30% of the MSCI EM I am still invested here. In addition, I have TSMC in my portfolio, which makes up about 7% of the MSCI EM. So in total I have over 35% of the index covered in my portfolio anyway. In addition, the Samsung share $005930 with a share of 5-6% in the Emerging Markets Index on my watchlist.
In the next month I will probably follow the current trend and try with an Itochu $ITC in the savings plan to increase my Japan share a little.
