I am currently restructuring my portfolio and would like to keep the ACWI as the core and have a mix of growth and quality individual stocks with a long investment horizon as satellites. I have currently selected the following stocks:

$NVDA (+0,32 %)

$GOOGL (+0,02 %)

$AMZN (-0,74 %)

$2330

$BRK.B (-0,56 %)

$ASML (+1,12 %)

$V (-1,22 %)

$NOVO B (+0,98 %)

$FTNT (-1,32 %)

$SOFI (+2,08 %)

$CSU (-1,01 %)

However, this selection is very tech and USA focused. Do you have any suggestions or alternatives? For example, I have $LIN (+0,44 %) , $SAP (+0,06 %) , $SIE (-0,46 %) and $CAT (+0,48 %) or $DE (-0,69 %) on the watchlist. What do you think?

301 hp, 12,000-liter tank, three water cannons: the fire department in Wiesmoor is now driving a tractor. A unique conversion of a John Deere 6R 250 from Rebo makes it possible.

Admittedly: At AUTO BILD, we don't usually report on tractors or fire engines. But this vehicle, which has recently been put to use by the volunteer fire department of the town of Wiesmoor, has made a lasting impression on us.

In the spirit of "fire department meets agriculture", the small East Frisian town now has a vehicle that is both a tractor and a fire engine.

John Deere 6R 250 converted into a fire department tractor

The key data? They are impressive. The basis is a John Deere 6R 250, with a 6.8-liter six-cylinder engine under the hood, which is likely to make the eyes of downsizing-afflicted mobility enthusiasts pop. A maximum output of 301 hp is available (tractor fans know that this is quite a lot for a medium-sized tractor).

The tractor was extensively modified by Rebo, a specialist for special vehicles, for its use by the fire department. The result is an all-rounder for the toughest operations. The vehicle has a modular design so that it can be equipped with various superstructures depending on the situation.

Fire-fighting power station on wheels

Probably the most spectacular module is the large tank firefighting vehicle for vegetation fires: the tank holds 12,000 liters of water, plus 410 liters of foaming agent. The pump can pump an impressive 6000 liters per minute. Three electrically adjustable water cannons can even be used while driving.

Front spray nozzles and a 500-liter reservoir for a thermal self-protection system ensure that the crew can also work behind a protective water curtain in an emergency.

However, fire extinguishing is only one of the special capabilities: The prototype comes with a whole arsenal for disaster situations - with a dozer blade and high-performance pumps, it can handle flood operations. The smaller of the two pumps moves 400,000 liters per hour, while the larger one can handle an impressive three million liters.

A sandbag filling machine is also on board, as is a cable winch with a length of 80 meters and a pulling force of 67 kilonewtons. The front reel can be used to lay 800 meters of hose to bring water even into rough terrain.

Everyday test with the fire department

The super tractor is now undergoing practical testing in Wiesmoor. The volunteer fire department will spend a year testing how the prototype performs in forest fire, flood and disaster scenarios.

The aim is to develop a robust, versatile and economical emergency vehicle that will significantly increase the fire department's effectiveness.

Hello, GetQuin community. I have been a silent reader for quite some time now and wanted to share my portfolio with you.

First of all, I am M22 and started investing in the market in 2020 with small amounts. I currently still live at home with my parents. I have a completed apprenticeship, but I decided to catch up on my A-levels to be able to study. I also have a part-time job.

• My savings rate is therefore only €300 a month
• 100€ goes into a call money account as a reserve
• 200€ goes into my savings plans which I list below

My strategy is a classic core-satelite strategy to build up a small fortune for the future.

The core therefore consists of 4 ETFs which I invest in monthly as follows:

• 60€ $XDWD (+0,02 %) MSCI World ETF to cover the most important companies from developed markets.
• 25€ $EIMI (-0,06 %) MSCI EM ETF to also cover emerging markets.
• 20€ $XDWT (+0,35 %) as I would like to invest more specifically in the IT sector, because I think that this will continue to experience major growth in the future.
• 20€ $SAEU (-0,34 %) I specifically wanted to save in this ETF to increase the European share and because I am very convinced of the weighting of the companies.

Now I come to my individual shares in the savings plan:

• 10€ $LIN (+0,44 %) Linde convinced me very early on, and not just because I deal with them every day at work. Good growth and, in my opinion, a strong future.
• 10€ $PG (-0,41 %) Strong products, my daily companion in the care and household sector.
• 10€ $DHR (-2,94 %) My favorite in the life science sector, I think Danaher will be back in the future.
• 10€ $DTE (-0,15 %) As a German company, I can no longer imagine telecommunications without it.
• 10€ $DE (-0,69 %) John Deere is an emotional investment (🥹) I was already a big fan of Deere machines as a child. Today still a progressive company in my opinion.
• 10€ $NKE (-1,83 %) Fundamentally a very successful company, I am a fan of the company history and the shoes, think that Nike will sooner or later return to its former strength.
• 10€ $WM (-1,07 %) Waste disposal and recycling are becoming increasingly important, environmental solutions are a big issue. Why not WasteManagement?
• 5€ $CSCO (-1,67 %) Big player in the field of cybersecurity, which is becoming increasingly important. I am convinced of the company.

I also hold shares in a few other companies, the reasons for which are described below:

• $SHEL (-0,74 %) I bought some time ago, important and large energy company. I will continue to hold them in the future.
• $NESN (-1,05 %) I bought them back then and am now just waiting to be able to sell them at a positive price.
• $NU (+0,83 %) I am convinced of the company, I think that Nu will have a successful future.
• $O (+0,49 %) I only save Realty Income through the cashback offer from TR, simply to get a few monthly dividends for a good feeling.

I don't save my cryptocurrencies monthly. I started putting a super small amount into Bitcoin early on. I just leave it to work.

$BTC (+0,03 %)
$SOL (-0,06 %)

I would now appreciate a little feedback, criticism and food for thought.

Thank you very much

$DE (-0,69 %)

Over the past two weeks, the John Deere (DE) share has performed positively overall. On February 28, 2025, the closing price was EUR 460.90. By March 6, 2025, the share price had risen to EUR 433.75, which corresponds to a wafer-thin increase of around 1.45 %.

This upward movement was supported by positive analyst assessments. Melius Research, for example, raised its price target to USD 750 and pointed to the growth potential offered by investments in precision agriculture🚜 and software solutions. Despite a decline in agricultural income and an expected drop in sales to USD 38 billion in 2025, analysts are forecasting a recovery in the following years.

Overall, the share remains volatile, with short-term fluctuations but a positive long-term outlook.

An agricultural machinery manufacturer previously unknown in Europe has developed its first 400 hp tractor with hybrid drive. The brand is backed by a huge corporation from Asia. Will Fendt and John Deere have to prepare for competition?

Agricultural machinery groups such as John Deere and AGCO are known in Europe for their strong brands. So far, only a few farmers and contractors are familiar with the Chinese company Zoomlion. But that could change in the next few years.

The state-owned company is not only one of the world's largest machine manufacturers, but has now unveiled its first tractor with 400 hp. The special feature: The large tractor works with a hybrid drive. We explain the details.

Chinese XXL tractor Zoomlion with 400 hp

Some farmers are familiar with the Chinese brand Zoomlion from Agritechca 2015, when the agricultural machinery brand was represented as an exhibitor and showed a standard tractor with 160 hp and a Deutz engine (tractors from China for the European market).

In addition to cranes, excavators and concrete pumps, Zoomlion also builds tractors, balers, combine harvesters for rice and grain and other agricultural machinery in its agricultural division.

Hybrid tractor: few details known so far

According to the company, Zoomlion's first hybrid tractor rolled out of the production plant in Kaifeng in Henan province in eastern China at the beginning of the year. The Zoomlion DV4004 is a standard tractor with 400 hp. So far, however, there is little technical data on the tractor.

Engine and generator: Will the tractor be diesel-electric?

The hybrid tractor is partly directly driven, but also has several motors installed, probably electric motors for auxiliary drives. Even though Zoomlion does not provide any further information about the drive, the tractor presumably works with a diesel engine and a generator. No details are known about the exhaust emission standard achieved.

Large Chinese tractor with large cab

Photos show the tractor with tires from Trelleborg. It is said to achieve a tractive force of the equivalent of 14.5 tons and be able to travel at a speed of 12 km/h "under heavy load". According to Zoomlion, the tractor consumes 23.25 l/ha of diesel, which is 8 percent less than a comparable tractor in this power range. The four-post cab looks very large. There is no information on whether the tractor will also be marketed in Europe in the future.

Tractors and agricultural machinery from China: Who is Zoomlion?

Zoomlion is one of the largest manufacturers of construction machinery and generated a turnover of around 15 billion US dollars last year. Around a third of this total turnover was generated in the agricultural machinery sector. In 2020, the Group acquired the traditional brand Rabe Agrartechnik from Bad Essen (Almost forgotten agricultural machinery manufacturer surprises with new cultivator). Around 26,000 employees work for the Group worldwide.

Hello Getquins,

As always, I'm starting my summer a little early with a vacation. This time it's not Asia but surprisingly :-) the USA.

As it's my first vacation in this country (otherwise only on business) I'm taking advantage of other opportunities, not just the company and hotel.

$ROST (-2,13 %) The shares of the company are very strong here and were not known to me as a share, the turnover, profit and share price in the past are very lucrative.

My investment $PEP (-0,6 %) I hardly see here except for sweets like Lay Chips but $KO (-1 %) is the leading beverage here.

I have $TSLA (+7,29 %) and am surprised at the company empire, the South African is doing (almost) everything right. His company Space X (now also rockets), the Boring Company opposite and batteries under construction for houses, companies and cities are a large portfolio.

They build like mad here, whether streets $CAT (+0,48 %)

$DE (-0,69 %) or entire residential areas with several hundred houses.

The integration of South Americans has been properly implemented here, you can see them working in construction, with the cleaning crew or as handymen in the trades. Whether this will work in Europe with state support is questionable, but it's a different topic.

Almost 90% of people here have $AAPL (+1,9 %) iphone, $F (-0,4 %) pickups or $GM (+0,14 %) a few European ones can also be seen here $VOW (-1,48 %)
$BMW (-0,93 %)

The bar culture, restaurants and dinners are very popular.

$BOM

Of course there is a huge $WMT (+0,81 %) and next to it the $CVS (+0,19 %)

Best regards and hope you had Easter or soon Whitsun vacation.

So long

Smudo
