Over the last few weeks, I have been looking at shares from a new perspective and have started to take a closer look at balance sheets and fundamental data. 🤯

Unfortunately, I still don't use a screener and have therefore only looked at the stocks that I am familiar with in some form.

In view of the tradable shares on the global market, this is certainly a big mistake and I have some catching up to do. Nevertheless, I would like to share some of my findings with you.

I have created two lists for this purpose.

On the lists you will find stocks that in my opinion have excellent fundamental quality characteristics.

The first list contains the absolute quality companies, some of which have already proven themselves over many years, and the second list contains companies that could still become such or have not yet proven themselves long enough and could therefore be a good long-term investment. The lists are neither correct nor complete and, depending on your point of view, some stocks belong on one list or the other, or perhaps not on any list at all.

Looking for good stocks to buy - recommendations wanted!

Hello everyone!

I am still relatively new to investing and am looking for fairly safe stocks to buy. My focus is on broad diversification of my portfolio. If you have any recommendations for stable and reliable stocks that are good for a safe start, I would be very grateful!

I already have some in my portfolio:

$NVDA (-7,25 %)

$ADBE (-4,21 %)

$NOVO B (-6,66 %)

$PCZ (-7,86 %)

$O (-2,42 %)

I look forward to your suggestions and tips!

Thanks in advance!

The introduction of DeepSeek with its R1 model has really shaken up the financial markets. While NVIDIA $NVDA (-7,25 %) and OpenAI are coming under pressure, we see other companies such as AMD $AMD (-8,01 %) and Intel $INTC (-10,9 %)presenting themselves as beneficiaries of the new AI era. 😲

But what does this mean for us investors? The current market turbulence not only offers risks, but also opportunities. Some stocks have already fallen, such as Meta $META (-4,44 %) and Microsoft $MSFT (-2,36 %)but other stocks such as Amazon $AMZN (-3,47 %) and Adobe $ADBE (-4,21 %) are also down.

How are you feeling about the situation? Are you on the lookout for bargains or are you remaining cautious? Discuss with us: Which shares do you see as the big winners of the AI revolution? 📈

Do you take action or do insider purchases play no role in your investment decisions?

Concrete transactions in detail (in green):

1) MSCI $MSCI (-6,26 %)

From the $HEI (-6,75 %) and $WFC (-6,63 %) sales, some cash goes into the clearing account and most of it into a small position $ADBE (-4,21 %) . Although the stock has actually been performing well for a long time, an attractive opportunity could now present itself.
