$PLUG (-4,27 %) I've been watching for a while... now I'm going for a ride with S/L is mandatory

I've been a silent user of the GetQuin community for quite some time now and thought I'd share my first post here to exchange ideas with experienced hobby investors and get some honest feedback on the portfolio I've built up to this point.

My journey into the beautiful wide world of shares began almost 4 years ago, when the consequences and extent of the corona crash on the stock market reached me.

Shortly afterwards, when the indices had long since recovered, I decided to open a share portfolio with my trusted Volksbank, unaware that this action would be my first mistake at the beginning of my long journey.

At the beginning, like probably every beginner, I had no strategy or even a plan on how to approach the matter.

So, full of zest for action, I started buying shares indiscriminately on a small scale - for €200 one $BLDP (-1,27 %) for another €250 one $PLUG (-4,27 %) and I still had €100 left over for some shares in $EGR (+9,48 %) left over. As I had also heard something about "dividends" and naturally wanted to profit from them too, I also put $ELE (+1,55 %) in my securities account (200€). The order costs amounted to €14.90 per order.

With these 4 positions, I then spent the following days and weeks calculating a number of price scenarios on my computer app and imagining how many thousands of euros I would gain if these "unrealistic prices" were to materialize at some point.

The first price losses came quickly and just as quickly the frustration and I started jumping from share to share to make a quick buck.

It took me about a year to come to my senses and gain a little more insight into the matter. I started following big influencers on Instagram.

At some point, I had a bit more of a plan and started again, I canceled the custody account at Volksbank and opened a custody account at TradeRepublic and started ETF savings plans as well as share savings plans.

In the beginning, I mainly bought the ideas of my financial influencers.

Basic companies such as $MCD (-0,42 %) , $Coca u. $PG (-0,73 %) were not to be missed, of course. I was branded by the high-risk stocks I had initially bought and therefore only wanted boring but solid dividend payers in my portfolio.

I gradually realized that a healthy mix of dividend payers and growth stocks is inevitable for a structured portfolio and so stocks like $Micro, $GOOGL (-0,12 %) and $V (+0,03 %) have also found a place in my portfolio.

In the meantime, 4 years have passed in which I have lost a lot of money, gained even more knowledge and invested a lot of time in the world of finance. I have built up an impressive portfolio, which I would like to optimize and expand in the future.

I think that some of you will be able to identify with this short beginner's story and I look forward to hearing about your initial experiences and stumbles.

After my first post on humanoid robots received a lot of positive feedback, I went into more detail. I have subsequently added my favorites in each sector.

Today $HIMS (+0,71 %) surprisingly lost almost 1/3 of its value. The question is, did it really come as such a surprise? Apparently it did for some investors, although with hype stocks it is only a matter of time before the collapse comes. $HIMS (+0,71 %) joins a list with $NKE (+0,3 %)
$PLUG (-4,27 %) , $DRO (+1,49 %) , $NOVO B (+1,42 %) , $PYPL (+2,59 %) and what they are all called. It's admirable and fascinating that investors still grab the falling knife with both hands and continue to burn money. But that's how the cycle of the game works, to win money others have to lose money 🤑

Best Buy surprises with solid figures, but the share shows weaknesses. The electronics retailer Best Buy $BBY (+2,14 %) presented a quarterly result in pre-market trading on Tuesday that surprised many market observers. With adjusted earnings of 2.58 dollars per share, the company exceeded Wall Street's expectations of 2.40 dollars. But appearances are deceptive: domestic sales fell to 12.72 billion dollars, compared to 13.41 billion dollars in the previous year. Internationally, there was also a slight decline to 1.23 billion dollars. Despite the positive profit, the market appears to be skeptical about Best Buy's future. Investors are wondering whether the company can survive in an increasingly challenging market environment.

In the USA, Plug Power pulls the emergency brake and announces a comprehensive restructuring plan. Plug Power $PLUG (-4,27 %) unveiled its "Quantum Leap" project on Tuesday, which aims to improve the company's financial health. CEO Andy Marsh explained that further measures are necessary in view of the current market conditions. The plan includes redundancies and savings to optimize operations. This includes consolidating production facilities and reducing the workforce. The share price initially fell by almost 9 %, but then recovered and recently rose by 4.5 %. Nevertheless, the share has lost around 60 % of its value in the last 12 months. The challenges are therefore great and the road to stabilization will be anything but easy.
