Dear Community,

Yesterday you were able to help me quickly and effectively. I sold the tiny positions $MATIC (-2,24 %) with a considerable loss and $ETH (-1,6 %) with a small profit and set up a weekly savings plan on $BTC (-0,01 %) set up a weekly savings plan.

In order to simplify and streamline the portfolio even further, I now have the following question for you...

To help you understand my portfolio better, here is a brief explanation:

The main portfolio (currently approx. 150k) is a core-satellite portfolio with 56% $IWDA (-0 %) , 20% $GGRP (-0,16 %) , 12% $WSML (-0,01 %) and 12% $XMME (+0,54 %) .

With just under 20k is still the $CSPX (-0,25 %) in the portfolio.

I have also been holding a separate div growth portfolio (currently approx. 34k) with these stocks for some time:

$MMM (+0,57 %) approx. 1500€

$MSFT (-0,01 %) approx. 1400€

$ABT (-1,27 %) approx. 3300€

$JNJ (-1,01 %) approx. 2800€

$PEP (-0,92 %) approx. 2700€

$PG (-1,03 %) approx. 3300€

$TDIV (+0,48 %) approx. 3900€

$WQDS (+0,05 %) approx. 3850€

$FGEQ (+0,01 %) approx. 3800€

$VWRL (-0,34 %) approx. 3750€

$FUSD (-0,28 %) approx. 3750€

I save the ETF fraction constantly, nothing should or will change.

I'm just wondering how I should structure the ratio of individual stocks from now on. Should I increase all individual stocks to 5000€ per position or all stocks except Microsoft to 6k? Any other suggestions or ideas? If I simply leave the individual stocks untouched, the money would go into the div ETFs in tranches.

Total TER at 0.22 (which is quite acceptable for me) - and the overlaps are known and also okay for me 😄

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart and have a nice rest of Sunday 😎

Best regards

EvD

I would like your input please.

About 4 years ago I invested in the share $ABT (-1,27 %) and have been investing monthly via a savings plan ever since. Apart from dividends, I am virtually 0/0 with the investment. Would you continue to hold or are there better alternatives in the healthcare sector? Also in view of the fact that a large part of the business is done with blood glucose meters and that these measurements could perhaps also be taken with an Apple Watch in the future. #stock

McDonald's Corp. $MCD (-0,41 %) misses analysts' estimates of $3.07 in the second quarter with earnings per share of $2.80. Sales of $6.49 billion are below expectations of $6.62 billion.

Tesla $TSLA (+4,92 %) shares rose 1.4% after Piper Sandler issued a bullish note on the electric car maker, suggesting that Tesla may have finally cracked the code on fully self-driving technology and is worth a "buy" rating. Morgan Stanley has also elevated Tesla to its "top pick" in the US auto sector.

Abbott $ABT (-1,27 %) fell 6.2% after a jury ordered the healthcare company to pay $495 million in damages in a premature baby formula lawsuit.

A week with many events...

Why is Bitcoin falling? What is the ECB doing? Lots of numbers and Paypal completely shocked me! ⤵️

The week was very eventful. Bitcoin fell sharply last week, Paypal wanted to shock the world with news on 25 January, the ECB decided on interest rates again and there were a number of quarterly figures this week. Let's take a closer look.

Why has Bitcoin fallen so much?

3 words explain it: Grayscale, FTX , Miner!

Miners are said to have sold around 10,000 $BTC (-0,01 %)
BTC were sold. We are currently on the verge of a halving again. This means that the miners will soon only have half the income left. So they have used the increase to build up capital. They are investing in new hardware in order to be able to mine more. Electricity costs rise as a result and so on. They have to take profits from time to time to stay liquid.

Grayscale has converted the trust fund (GBTC) into an ETF and sold over 600,000 BTC. Grayscale's fee policy is not the best and led to further selling. Grayscale sold USD 640 million worth of bitcoins every day. This was felt by the market.

FTX sold 900 million US dollars to GBTC, generating a profit of around 300 million US dollars. However, another positive aspect is that all the new ETFs have already collected around 103,000 BTC and will continue to do so. The market will therefore continue to grow and profits will be taken from time to time!

Is the ECB now lowering interest rates?

No, they are not yet, but they are not currently rising any further. So now the ECB has also found the stop button. However, there are already rumors of interest rate cuts this year. But they don't want to commit to a calendar day, they want to reassess each time. It will be interesting to see what the market prices in for the next round. The FED will be back next week. However, it is not expected to cut interest rates for the time being, but also not to raise them!

Did Paypal shock you with the news?

On 17.01 the CEO of $PYPL (-0,72 %) Paypal said that they wanted to shock the world on 25.01. That was yesterday and here's what came out of it. Apart from the fact that the exchange rate has fallen by more than 5% in an instant, they said that they are building in a new AI function that will allow you to get a kind of cashback with the Paypal app. So they are trying to jump on the AI bandwagon. But somehow, cashback via app is no longer a big innovation and the world perhaps expected something different. Of course, there was also very little information about what this will look like.

Disruption threat (?)

• $ABT (-1,27 %) Apple and other companies are probably working on a blood glucose meter integrated into the smartwatch. If that were to come, of course, no one would measure blood sugar the conventional way anymore.
• $AMT (+0,34 %) If Starlink becomes more efficient and cheaper in the future, cell towers will be superfluous.

How high do you rate the risk of disruption here? #Disruption
