Beat the S&P500 Challenge

I have been thinking about which stocks I could use to beat the S&P500 index.

After a lot of research, I have now decided on 20 American shares, which I will save 100 euros/month each in savings plans from 01.04.2024. As I didn't want any overlaps/duplications with my ETFs (World and Consumer Staples), I chose companies from the second tier. Perhaps one or two of the stocks will also be of interest to you 😉

The portfolio will contain the following shares:

$AME (-4,42 %)

$APH (-5,7 %)

$ANET

$AJG (-1,51 %)

$CMG (-3,95 %)

$FIX (-7,63 %)

$EME (-5,98 %)

$IT (-5,5 %)

$HUBB (-4,67 %)

$INTU (-4,88 %)

$KAI (-9,54 %)

$KLAC (-8,73 %)

$MMC (-2,81 %)

$MEDP (-8,36 %)

$MOH (-1,51 %)

$RSG (-1,99 %)

$SNPS (-7,58 %)

$URI (-7,39 %)

$VRTX (-3,64 %)

$GWW (-2,66 %)

I know that it will be difficult to beat the S&P500, but I still want to try...

General Electrics ($GCP (-5,76 %)) - One of the largest companies in the United States announced it would split into three publicly traded individual companies. These companies will then focus on the "Aviation", "Health Care" and "Energy" industries. Wall Street analysts are in favor of the company's plan. This could enable GE to escape from the astonishingly weak performance of the last two decades.

Tesla ($TL0 (-9,99 %)) - Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk (pictured right), sold Tesla shares shortly before his brother's Twitter poll. As previously reported, Elon Musk had a vote on the sale of ten percent of his Tesla shares via Twitter. The majority of his followers were in favor of a sale. As a result, the Tesla share price temporarily plummeted to just under 880 euros. Now Elon Musk could again find himself confronted with the U.S. supervisory authority SEC as a result of his market-moving tweets. In addition, publicly viewable SEC forms show that Kendal Musk, who is also a Tesla supervisory board member, apparently sold off his Tesla shares before the survey. He exercised an option to buy 25,000 Tesla shares at $74.17 apiece and sold them right back for prices between $1,223 and $1,236. Thus, he made a profit of $108.8 million. It remains unclear whether he knew about his brother's upcoming Twitter poll.

ING Group ($INN1 (-5,53 %)) - ING's CIO, Annerie Vreugdenhil, announced at the Singapour FinTech Festival that the bank with the orange lion and the ad featuring Dirk Nowitzki is currently working on a DeFi (Decentralised Finance) P2P lending project. It is doing this in cooperation with the Dutch financial regulator AFM. The big bank's ambition to become part of the crypto world became known at the latest through the whitepaper they published in early 2021 about the ways in which banks can learn from what is happening in the crypto space. As a strong collaborative partner, ING cited Aave ($AAVE/EUR (-10,18 %)) - a project that offers interest on over-collateralized crypto assets without the need for an intermediary.

Apple ($APC (-6,12 %)) - The tech giant's CEO stated in the past day that he personally holds cryptocurrency, specifically Ethereum and Bitcoin. However, according to his statements, the Apple company does not currently plan to invest in cryptocurrencies.
