From May, the trading ban on Swiss shares in the EU will be lifted - so we can trade easily and directly on German stock exchanges again. I've put a few candidates on my watchlist that fit in well with my current strategy - maybe there's something for you too:

Healthcare & Pharma

• Roche Holding AG - $ROG (-0,66 %)
• 
  Novartis AG - $NOVN (+0,04 %)
• 
  Alcon Inc. $ALC (+0,87 %)

Luxury & Consumption

• Swatch Group AG (registered share) - $UHR (-0,1 %)
• 
  Richemont (Compagnie Financière) - $CFR (+0,37 %)
• 
  Lindt & Sprüngli (participation certificate) - $LISN (-1,62 %)

Tech & Industry

• Logitech International SA - $LOGN (+1,24 %)
• 
  Temenos AG - $TEMN (+1,09 %)
• 
  Sika AG - $SIKA (+1,39 %)

Insurance & Finance

• Zurich Insurance Group AG - $ZURN (-0,28 %)
• 
  Swiss Re Ltd - $SREN (-0,34 %)

I will wait for the Q1 figures in particular and then build up small positions if there are setbacks - in the long term, a few of these stocks are definitely candidates for my savings plan or holding.

What do you think - do you have Swiss stocks on your radar?

Or is the withholding tax still a thorn in your side?

GameStop closes German stores + LogiTech to become an "iconic" brand + 4 important dates this week + Head of Opel parent company Stellantis resigns

The 69 German stores of the video game retailer Gamestop $GME (+1,64 %) are to be closed by January 31, 2025. This was reported by the industry portal "Gameswirtschaft". The American company's German headquarters could not be reached for comment. However, store employees confirmed the plans to the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ) by telephone. They had been informed internally. Pre-orders will no longer be accepted and vouchers will no longer be sold. "Gameswirtschaft" refers to information from the retailer's suppliers, which coincides with reports from employees. (FAZ)

The CEO of the computer accessories manufacturer, Hanneke Faber, wants out of Logitech $LOGN (+1,24 %) into an "iconic brand". Sales are to double by 2031. The brand's many fans are a good starting point. "Now we have to take the brand to the next level so that people really love it," the SonntagsZeitung quotes from a meeting with Faber in Zurich. It needs a "wow" factor like Apple. Faber also wants to make gains in hybrid work and artificial intelligence. Meanwhile, Logitech needs to improve again in China. Faber believes he is well prepared for possible US tariffs on Chinese imports. "We used to be dependent on China, now we have a broadly diversified global supply chain." (SoZ, p. 40)

4 dates that will be important this week:

• Details on US labor market developments in October

The results of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (Jolts) for October provide insights into the tendency of employers and employees to lay off and the number of vacancies on the US labour market. The month under review was heavily influenced by Hurricanes Helen and Milton.

>>> Tuesday, 03.12.2024; 16:00

• German incoming orders fall in October

Incoming orders in German industry are likely to have fallen in October. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect them to have fallen by 2.0 percent compared to the previous month, after rising by 4.2 percent in September. Overall, there is a slight recovery trend in orders. In the second and third quarters, it had already moved away somewhat from the low recorded in the first quarter of the year.

>>> Thursday, 05.12.2024; 08:00

• German production increases in October

Production in Germany's manufacturing sector was as weak in the third quarter as it had been during the coronavirus lockdowns. But while companies wanted to produce back then but were unable to do so, the opposite is true today. The cushion of orders has melted away and economists fear that the situation on the labor market could soon deteriorate. For October, the economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires expect production to have risen by 1.0 percent compared to the previous month.

>>> Friday, 06.12..2024; 08:00

• US employment figures rise more strongly again in November

The number of people employed in the US economy is likely to have risen more sharply again in November. According to the Factset consensus, analysts expect it to have risen by 210,000 compared to the previous month, after increasing by just 12,000 in September. The weak September figure was caused by hurricanes Helen and Milton. The unchanged very low unemployment rate of 4.1 percent showed that there was probably nothing more to it. An increase to 4.2 percent is expected for October and a monthly increase of 0.3 percent for wages, which means an annual increase of 3.9 percent. After years of fighting inflation, the US Federal Reserve is now focusing more strongly on the labor market.

Suffering from problems in the important US market and a weak industry situation, car manufacturer Stellantis $STLAM (+1,38 %) must look for a new boss sooner than expected. The Board of Directors has accepted the resignation of Carlos Tavares, the multi-brand group (including Peugeot, Citroen, Fiat, Chrysler, Jeep, Alfa Romeo) announced on Sunday evening. The Volkswagen rival had already announced in October that the search for a successor to Tavares was underway, as he would not be renewing his contract, which expires in 2026. A new boss is now to be found in the first half of 2025, the company said on Sunday. Until then, a management committee will be formed under Chairman of the Board of Directors John Elkann. Tavares led Stellanti's formation of the car giant through the mega merger of PSA and Fiat Chrysler in 2021. The manager only had to lower the profit outlook for 2024 at the end of September this year. The car manufacturer usually makes the lion's share of its profits in the North American market with large SUVs and pick-ups. However, there are currently too many unsold cars in dealers' yards, which is reducing sales prices. The situation on the car markets in other countries is also bleak overall. The company confirmed its lowered outlook for the year on Sunday.

You don't treat yourself to anything else. Over the last few months, I've only ever invested in the stock market and now I thought I should buy something in addition to the capital market to distract me a little from the stock market. It's also great for $LOGN (+1,24 %) great, even if I'm not invested in it😅 The headset is definitely awesome🤩

(Switzerland) - The most important dates for this trading week

This week is the best of the year for real number crunchers: More than forty listed companies will present their half-year report. These include small companies such as the Walliser Kantonalbank (WKBN), but also big names on the Swiss market such as $ROG (-0,66 %) and $NESNE / $NESN (-1,74 %) . Naturally, observers will be keeping a close eye on the outlook for the second half of the year.

On Monday, only the climate specialist Belimo $B9H will report on the first half of the year.

Seven companies have announced their reports for Tuesday. These are the logistics company Kuehne + Nagel $KNIN (-1,9 %)
, the chocolate manufacturer Lindt & Sprüngli
$LISN (-1,62 %) and the fragrance producer Givaudan $GIVN (+0,34 %)
, also reporting Logitech $LOGN (+1,24 %), Dätwyler $DAE (+4,66 %)
, Temenos $TEMN (+1,09 %) and the Valais Cantonal Bank ($WKBN). At Lindt & Sprüngli $LISN (-1,62 %) will be watching for comments on the high cocoa prices. At Kühne + Nagel $KNIN (-1,9 %) the renewed increase in the complexity of sea transportation due to the threat to shipping in the Red Sea could have an initial positive effect.

On Wednesday, nine companies will give an insight into their finances. For example, the goods inspector SGS
$SGSN (+1,42 %) and also Bobst ($BOBNN) , So $ALSN (+1,48 %)
Cembra Money Bank $CMBN (+0,75 %)

Cosmo Pharmaceuticals $COPN (+0 %)
EFG International $EFGN (+1,27 %)

and Medacta $MOVE (+1,37 %)
. At SGS $SGSN (+1,42 %) it is to be expected that, as in previous quarters, decent sales growth will be offset by negative exchange rate effects.

Thursday is the highlight of the interim reporting season: a total of sixteen company reports are on the agenda. Among them are Nestlé $NESN (-1,74 %)
, Roche $ROG (-0,66 %)
, Lonza
$LONN (+0,87 %) and Julius Baer $BAER (+0,82 %)
, but also Bachem $BANB, Bucher $BUCN

, Meier Tobler $MTG (-1,37 %)
, StarragTornos $STGN and Valiant $VATN (-0,16 %)
. At Nestlé $NESN (-1,74 %) the question is whether a return to positive growth rates can be achieved.

Many listed companies have once again announced their half-year figures for Friday. They include Holcim $HOLN (+1,48 %)
Sulzer $SUN (-2,08 %)
, Vontobel $VONN (+1,33 %)
, Forbo $FORN (+0,73 %)

, Lem $LEHN (+0,77 %)
, AMS Osram $AMS and BB Biotech $BION (+0,66 %) and the SIX as the operator of the Swiss stock exchange. The industrial group Sulzer $SUN (-2,08 %) should deliver a positive surprise after a strong performance that has been ongoing for some time.

Have a good week everyone!

Hello stockbrokers,

today I show you my stock exchange traded everyday life, although I was not nominated xD.

In the morning I get up and have a pleasant breakfast. After that I get ready in the bathroom with the products of $PG (+1,18 %) & $null

After that I go to school with my bike or with a $BMW (+1,77 %) to school, since I am just finishing my high school diploma. At school I work with the products of $AAPL (+0,28 %) among others.

At five o'clock I start to work, here I sit down at my computer with components from $INTC (-0,92 %) & $NVDA (+4,72 %) as well as with monitors from $DELL and a keyboard from $1337 and a mouse from $LOGN (+1,24 %)

Here I mainly use the software from $MSFT (+1,32 %) & $GOOGL (-1,98 %) back.

Lastly, I do sports, with products from a French group.

Hi, somewhere in the feed there was a story...

It was about which listed companies you come into contact with in everyday life.

Somehow that appealed to me, and I thought to myself, that would be something where I could actively participate....

So....

After the morning bath visit with among other things products of $UN or $PG (+1,18 %) are used, comes directly already a hot drink from $NESTS.

Then I pack my service laptop of $HPQ (-0,63 %) with $INTC (-0,92 %) inside, as well as my tablet and cell phone $SMSD (+0,14 %) and $AAPL (+0,28 %) in the bag and make me on the way.

Then I realize schei.... what forgotten, and run back to the bathroom again and mount my wristwatch from $UHRN (+0 %) and the glasses from $FIE (-1,13 %)

The way to work I do relatively comfortably in a $F (+0,11 %), the ride is secured by $ALV (+0,85 %).

On the way I get me depending on my mood still a croissant from $ARZTY. On the about 50km long distance on the highway I meet of course all other manufacturers $BMW (+1,77 %)
$VOW3 (+1,74 %)
$DTG (+2,36 %)
$MBG (+1,59 %)
$N/A and in Switzerland drive relatively many $TSLA (+10,24 %) and of course many more...

Shortly before I then in my Bude $CARL A (+0 %) arrive, I still drive at the headquarters of $ROG (-0,66 %) and $NOVN (+0,04 %) headquarters...

When I arrive at the desk, I see the keyboard of $LOGN (+1,24 %) ...

How should it be different na of course we work with $SAP (+2,08 %).

So that I do not freeze runs in the Bude ne heating from $MTG (-1,37 %)

After I have worked hard, my hands need a break and a bit of care $BEI (-1,28 %).

I look then with pleasure also times in my depot which does itself at the stock market so $CBK (-2,13 %).

Every now and then I have to do some research. $GOOG (-1,83 %). Our IT runs of course not without $CSCO. (+1,16 %)

During the break I like to have a drink with colleagues $PEP (-1,16 %) with colleagues, or we serve ourselves on the 2nd floor $SCHP (-0,17 %) at the inhouse vending machine of $SBUX (-0,25 %).

After the coffee a visit to the toilet may not be missing, surely pipes of $GEBN (+0,64 %) installed.

Professionally I call a lot, our provider $SCMN (-0,52 %)

Not directly in my job, but in the gaff drive insanely many devices from $JUN3 (+1,42 %) and $KGX (+5,51 %) which I can observe from the break room.

In my department we also have many products from $MMM (-0,72 %) in use.

In the afternoons, I test products and their flow properties from $DGE as part of my job. In the past, I also tested $BUD products, but we stopped working together.

On the way home I fill up with gas at $SHEL (+1,27 %) and because life is so good, I get a little cash at $CSGN

Oh yes I forgot to mention my shoes from $ADS (-0,28 %) on which I am comfortable all day on the road ...

Well, and when I'm back home, my wife has me a little luck something delicious from $GIS (-0,34 %) maybe even with a sauce from $KHC (+0,27 %) cooked...

With a little less luck she shows me the latest purchases made by you at$AMZN (+0,25 %) :-)

Then I go to the basement and start the washing machine from $VZUG with products from $HEN (-0,04 %)

To the end of the day I treat myself then if necessary still a cool $KO (-0,72 %) ....

So far a little insight...

I hope you could follow me :-) Surely still forgotten many companies with which I am in daily contact...

Thanks for the comment with the $ have that still adjusted and the one or other company which I still thought of added...

Greetings Jo
