Hey, GQ crew ✌️

My first post since I got kicked out about 4 weeks ago—who would’ve thought that showing solidarity with one of the members (@Klein-Anleger ) would lead to a ban so quickly? But getquin’s generosity was so BIG (and, most importantly, “on a trial basis”) that they graciously let me back into the holy grail of the GQ community 😉

So guys, learn from my mistakes: The leniency here isn’t an “infinite money” glitch! Save your solidarity for later, keep your support for other members at zero, and most importantly 🚨: No sneaky advertising for alternative financial platforms like “Cisdord” 😉😂.

Sorry, that little dig after four weeks away was a must 🤝

But joking aside…

⏳The first three months of 2026 have passed. Time for a brief interim assessment of the current status of my portfolio rebuild.

Before I started rebuilding my portfolio, I naturally thought about what strategy I wanted to pursue in the coming months and years—especially with regard to stock selection and weighting.

To be honest, my original plan was to maintain a portfolio with a maximum of 20 stocks. As things progressed, however, I realized that it probably wouldn’t stay at 20—the number is more likely to rise to around 30 positions (+/-)—

♟️My Focus & Strategy:

To put it simply: The clear focus is on growth 🚀. Dividends play a rather secondary role here. Here, I’ll show you my shopping list—or rather, what my portfolio should look like in the future. The stocks I’ve already bought are marked with a green checkmark; those without a checkmark are ones I’m still waiting on ⏳

Given the global political situation—especially because of that 🍊 in the White House, whose tweets cause more tsunamis 🌊than actual natural disasters—and the current drawdown in the S&P 500 (which is actually working out great for me right now and bringing me a lot of joy 🤩), I’m consequently in the red on some of my purchases so far 💦🫧.

But hey, we’re investing for the long term, after all, right? So, taking it easy, keeping it chill 🥱 I’ll most likely hold off on making any more purchases for the time being over the next few days or weeks, park my cash elsewhere or put it in a money market account, and wait to see where the market settles or wait for it to stabilize.

What do you guys have on your watchlist?

Are you sitting on the sidelines right now, or how are you handling the current situation?

Okay, that’s enough for now 😂

That’s all from me for now ✌️

Your Stock Master

Hello everyone,

It's time for another little milestone post - today I reached a portfolio value of €25,000.

I know many people don't like it, but that doesn't matter for now.

I reached my last milestone, the €10,000 mark, about 10 months ago. A lot has happened since then.

Thanks to a change of employer last year, I managed to increase my savings rate to €1,200+.

Of this, €140 is invested in ETFs.

I currently have a significant overhang in individual shares. It all started with dividend stocks. However, dividends now only play a very minor role in my investment decisions.

My aim is to invest for the future in the long term, and I'm enjoying the topic more and more. Although I started early and had to learn the hard way here and there, I am now very satisfied with the development of the past 2-3 years. At the age of 26, many people haven't even started thinking about the future and investing.

I will probably use up the tax-free allowance of €1,000 for the first time next year at the latest, which is not a direct goal (I don't want to / have to use up this amount tomorrow), but symbolizes another stage that I have mastered. (It's a shame that this is set so low for small investors)

In my opinion, only 2 sectors are now missing from my portfolio - pharmaceuticals and commodities / mining, with my selection probably (as of today) limited to $JNJ (+0,4 %) and $RIO (-0,17 %) would fall.

I would also like to invest in a few Asian companies, which are currently on my watchlist. $005930
$7974 (+3,62 %)
$005380
$4507 (+0,72 %)
$8001 (-0,02 %) currently on my watchlist.

However, my portfolio shouldn't get much bigger and I will probably invest a little more in ETFs and reduce the savings rate for individual shares.

I look forward to any constructive feedback from you. :)
