I am 19 years old and as soon as I $BTC (-1,79 %) sell, I will invest the money in $ASML (+7,14 %) for more European share, more $O (-0,01 %) and $MAIN (+3,25 %) for dividend growth and in more individual shares or more $VUAG (+4,56 %) reinvest. What do you think?

First milestone reached - €10,000! 🎉
Before the moment is over again, I would like to take a moment to celebrate my first small milestone: after almost a year of active trading, I have reached €10,000.
Most of the time I was still a student - with small savings rates, a lot of curiosity and learning by doing (and many mistakes). I've now been working as an engineer for a month and can invest properly for the first time. I'm excited to see where the journey will take me.
I am pursuing a long-term growth strategy, but I also like the charm of dividends as a motivator. With half of the bonuses, I will probably buy individual shares or burn a penny or two by gambling.
I know things aren't going perfectly, but I'm prepared to learn from mistakes and constantly question my strategy.
One small fly in the ointment: my Mercedes shares are currently still blocked.
I look forward to your feedback, experiences and tips - on the subject of crypto, I'm still torn as to whether I've missed the party.

WE WANT DIVIDENDS
Hello Getquin Community,
I would be interested to know: What are your top dividend stocks or which ones do you currently have on your watchlist that you would like to add to your portfolio?
My strongest stocks at the moment are definitely $HSBA (+3,83 %) and $BATS (-0,78 %) Both deliver solid dividend yields and are real classics in the dividend strategy sector.
I'll add a few more to the list - I'm looking forward to your additions:
$SREN (-1,06 %)
$ZURN (-0,5 %)
$MO (-2,63 %)
$CVX (+3,62 %)
$MAIN (+3,25 %)
$O (-0,01 %)
I think you have to take into account how much risk you are willing to take and what proportion of the overall portfolio the position should make up.
Stocks with risk and div yield >15%
(cyclical, exotic - as an admixture):
$PETR4 - Petrobras, Oil+Gas, Brazil
$TRMD A - Torm, tanker fleet shipping company
$HAFNI - Hafnia, tanker fleet shipping company
(There are more shipping companies...)
Stocks with 6-8% dividend yield and manageable risk. (Mainly banks, consumer goods, pharmaceuticals)
$BATS - BritishAm.T. Cigarettes (UK)
$HSBA - HSBC, int. bank (UK)
$ING - ING, Bank (NL)
$PFE - Pfizer, Pharmaceuticals (USA)
$KHC - KraftHines, Food (USA)
$RIO - RioTinto, mining+raw materials (UK)
$VALE3 - Vale, commodities
Somewhat lower in yield are the ImmoREITS from the USA
$O - Reality Income
$WPC - WP Carey
... and of course some others from the REIT sector
I also find $JEGP interesting as an ETF.
Position opened
$MAIN (+3,25 %) today's numbers seemed as were predicted, so I went in. Second tranche would follow soon.
Volatility on Volatility on Volatility
What is going on? $HIMS (+7,63 %) is shooting to the moon, halfway back to its $96 highs. $PLTR (+2,12 %) has disappointed investors with its meek guidance.
One of my favorite IPOs this year, $CRWV , has been doing well.
$F (+2,8 %) recovered! I am still looking at a significant loss regarding it though...
One of my favorite dividend payers, $MAIN (+3,25 %) , announced a dividend increase from $0.250 to $0.255 per share and a June special dividend of $0.3. I definitely will be trying to increase my position in it. Comment with how many shares you want me to get!
Last but never least, $ASML (+7,18 %) has paid its quarterly dividend today. I am slowly but surely trying to build up my position while decreasing my average cost per share.
I discuss all of this and more in today's market recap! Let me know if I have left anything important out.

📢 Recent discovery: Main Street Capital💼💸
I met the Main Street Capital a little while ago, it seems tailor-made for my dividend investor 😂
✔️ Monthly dividends
✔️ High yield
✔️ Solid and apparently well-managed business
✔️ Consistent distribution history (and even extra dividends!)
It was one of those companies that, as soon as I discovered it, I thought:
"How come I've only just discovered this?"
🔍 For now I'm going to start following her closely and accumulate it progressively.
It fits perfectly with my goal of building a stable and growing passive income portfolio.

Reallocation | Simplification of dividend portfolio
Hello everyone,
For some time now I have been wavering a bit about my dividend portfolio, whether I should use the 6 ETF savings plans (always staggered distributions for monthly cash flow) are not too complicated. About me: I'm in my mid-thirties and the aim is to build up more and more net monthly salaries through dividends over time. I enjoy looking at my bar charts in Portfolio Performance over the years and seeing how they get bigger and bigger every year compared to the previous year. For this year, I expect to earn around €3,700 in dividends with my current portfolio.
----- ----- -----
The Morningstar X-Ray already shows a lot of stock overlaps. The aim was always to combine 2 ETFs per interval with 1 each with high distributions + and 1 each with growth and to have good diversification:
January, April, July, October
$ISPA (+2,27 %) + $EXX5 (+3,22 %)
February, May, August, November
$FGEQ (+3,5 %) + $IMEU (+1,48 %)
March, June, September, December
$TDIV (+2,34 %) + $VHYL (+2,86 %)
+ $O (-0,01 %) + $MAIN (+3,25 %) + $ARCC (+3,63 %) + $VICI (+0,18 %) + $HTGC (+3,39 %) + $BATS (-0,78 %)
----- ----- -----
The ETFs have a value of approx. 15,500€ per interval, the REITs + BDCs below together approx. 31,000€. I would also like to invest in savings plans with dividend growth shares, whereby I want to proceed according to certain criteria: https://aktienkoenig.de/starke-dividendenaktien-mit-dem-dividenden-check-finden/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-3
Would you simplify the dividend ETFs and reduce them from 6 to 3 or replace them if necessary, because that is overdiversified anyway, or should I rather "shut down" some of them and continue to save only 3 of them increased? I am basically undecided at the moment as to whether I should focus on higher dividend payouts or rather higher dividend growth. At the moment, I think it's all mixed up.
My 2 cents.
