Hello everyone,

I wanted to get your opinions and criticism regarding my portfolio.

Briefly about me: I am 19 years old, graduated from high school in the summer, then did two internships, one at a management consultancy and the other at a law firm. I then worked as a ski instructor from December to mid-March. I am also starting university in April.

My strategy: a mix of shares with growth potential (see $VUL (-7,31 %)
$NU (-3,71 %) or $HIMS (-4,26 %) ) and dividend stocks (see $D05 (-2,8 %)
$BAS (-2,47 %) or $8001 (-4,47 %) )

The core should consist of the three ETFs in the portfolio. I am currently in the process of bringing the China ETF to €1,000 of paid-in capital. I have no plans to invest in the S&P 500 and MSCI World in the near future.

During my school days, I did some reselling in addition to mini-jobs, which enabled me to build up my portfolio. I started investing in November 2021.

Please let me know your thoughts and criticisms in the comments!

This is exciting! BASF $BAS (-2,47 %) is currently testing the use of geothermal energy at its Ludwigshafen site in order to significantly reduce its gas consumption and CO2 emissions. In collaboration with the startup Vulcan Energy $VUL (-7,31 %) not only generates thermal energy, but also lithium - a crucial raw material for battery production. 👍

The project aims to generate sustainable energy by using hot thermal water from the Upper Rhine Graben. In this way, BASF could not only reduce its ecological footprint, but also contribute to the transformation of the chemical and automotive industries.

In the first phase, vibration trucks are already on the road carrying out seismic measurements to analyze the geological structures of the Upper Rhine Graben. Drilling is due to start in 2027 and the first tests are already underway. BASF is thus demonstrating how innovative technologies can contribute to reducing emissions and at the same time open up new business areas. This could be a real game changer for the industry! 📈

I started to restructure my portfolio at the beginning of the year.

Out went a few underperformers and a partial sale (33%) of Siemens Energy to take some profits.

Now there is still a partial sale of $VUL (-7,31 %) as this company currently accounts for 16% of my portfolio and is a very risky bet.

In future, no single stock should account for more than 10%.

My goal for 2025 is to beat the S&P500 again.

Sell:

$LITU (-4,76 %) ( - 260€ )

$SBX (+4 %) ( -330€ )

$NANO (+0,12 %) ( -1732€ )

$ENR (-2,18 %) ( +1774€ )

Purchase:

$ASML (-4,25 %) ( 5x )

$NU (-3,71 %) ( 100x )

$HLAG (-7,37 %) ( 2x)

YTD 39% doesn't look so bad after all.

I will have to sell a share soon $VUL (-7,31 %) because it is overweighted.

I'm still annoyed $PLTR (-1,64 %) not to have bought at <10 but I was there at $ENR (-2,18 %) was there at the right moment :)

Overall, I plan to clear out a bit by the end of the year and increase my cash allocation for now.

Any opinions?

Green lithium production? Directly in Germany?

It's been a while since the sale, I'm a little annoyed.

But only a very small wenig👁️👁️

Lithium from Germany, there was always a lot of hope in this price, little substance.

Pilot project now started, price from $VUL (-7,31 %) to 4$, high the day before yesterday at 5$

How can you be so stupid and buy high risk stocks for speculation, but then sell them too early. Damn s*****.

Formo new entry when the momentum is gone again and we see the 2.50$ again. Happens more often with stocks, here timing is more important than time.

Tuesday:

The agricultural group $BAYN (+2,36 %) Bayer misses expectations again. Operating profit for 2024 is now estimated at only 10.4 to 10.7 billion euros. Sales fell by 3.6% in Q3. Mainly because glyphosate is currently no longer in such high demand in South America.

$SIX2 (-1,6 %) Sixt is still struggling with write-downs on used cars. Business itself is going well. Sixt still expects a pre-tax profit of EUR 340 million for 2024. Revenue increased by 10% in the third quarter.

The ZEW economic expectations were worse than expected. Expectations have worsened, the opposite had been expected.

Significant increase at $VUL (-7,31 %) Vulcan Energy, the company is producing green lithium hydroxide for the first time from its own European plant in Frankfurt Höchst. The first quantities are now going to customers LG, Umicore, Stellantis and Renault.

Wednesday:

The inflation rate in the USA is rising again, now at 2.6%. It is thus moving away from the target value of 2.0%. Economists expect Trump to cause inflation to rise further. This is because fewer tax payments could further fuel the US economy, which could lead to shortages of goods. Tariffs and a stock market rally could drive prices up further.

Thursday:

Producer prices from the USA 🇺🇸 are higher than expected. Instead of 2.3%, prices rose by an average of 2.4% compared to the same month last year. The core index excluding food and energy prices also rose.

Friday:

$TKA (-0,45 %) After the hydrogen subsidiary $NCH2 (-0,35 %) Nucera, Thyssenkrupp is planning its next spin-off. This time, the marine division is to be floated on the stock exchange as an independent company. Sales negotiations with the investor Carlyle have recently failed.

$VUL (-7,31 %)

The volcano has been running for a year 🌋 🚀

Today there was an additional boost from Robert.

...June 2022 I heard a small report on the radio at the time "the company Vulcan Energy wants to mine lithium in Germany"

That sounds exciting 💡 "That's definitely a great thing. Would be cool if you had shares in them"

but where can you get shares?

It was my first time on the stock market. I heard about Trade Republic from a friend and almost blindly invested my first euros. In Vulcan Energy, of course

It didn't go as well as I'd hoped at first. I'm currently still down 9% but still find the company exciting.

What was your first share?

How did you get into the stock market?

$VUL (-7,31 %) 🚀 Where is the journey going?

$VUL (-7,31 %)

Anyone else here invested in Vulcan Energy? Things finally seem to be looking up, I have a small position in this exciting project myself.

Review January/February

Let's take a look back at the last 2 months.

Scalable Wealth

My robo-advisor is doing very well so far this year, which is probably because it invests 10% in crypto. It is currently at +7.31% YTD. Like every month, the same amount always flows in here. Overall, the robo-advisor is now at +13,10%.

Crypto

I bought about 1700 $CRO (-4,42 %) because I think the company is doing a good job, especially with regard to the scandal with Wirecard.

My crypto portfolio is up over +24% YTD. This is largely due to $INJ (-8,07 %) . Bought in November and currently at about +160%

Shares

I bought my Commerzbank shares in January/February $CBK (-1,98 %) and my $VUL (-7,31 %) sold my shares. I still like Commerzbank, but I wanted to put the money into other companies. New additions are $MAERSK A (-8,97 %) and $ZIM (-6,74 %) . These are to be saved in the future with the help of a savings plan, but are not currently at the top of my list of priorities. My current priority is to build up my existing positions. My strategy has worked very well so far. Today in particular $DTG (-1,04 %) Daimler Truck has been very convincing. I am currently up 41.62% with Daimler Truck.

My equity portfolio is at about +2.55% YTD

Further

As not only my investment is set to grow, but I personally would also like to grow, I will also write something briefly about this.

I have read 4 books so far this year. These include the book "The Richest Man in Babylon". So far, I have consistently achieved my goal of reading every day this year. I would be very happy to receive further book suggestions.

My studies are also progressing very well at the moment. I have already successfully completed the accounting, business administration and cost and performance accounting courses this year, even though it was very stressful, as I wrote the exam in cost and performance accounting just 2.5 weeks after the start of the course, for example. I am currently studying for the exam in financing and investment.

I'm also making progress professionally and have been able to improve there too. In a few days, I'll be starting my new job in marketing, which I'm really looking forward to.

How has your year been so far?
