Hello dear community,

I've cracked 60k and now I need to implement more ideas. I was planning to add a bit more dividend. I still have 20k cash and would like to invest around 15k. My ideas are $MRK (-0,29 %)
$HNR1 (+0,49 %) and $UPS (+0,58 %)

Do you have 1 or 2 more ideas? I would have real estate $PLD (+0,99 %) in mind.

Happy Saturday everyone and good investing.

Here's to Xi and Trump having a good day today ;)

Ps: Does anyone have the dates of the quarterly figures for $SHEL (-1,49 %) ? Unfortunately I can't find them online.

After making my first small investments of a few hundred euros in the stock market in February '25, I added a larger amount in the course of April. It also took some time to develop an investment strategy; where do I want to invest? What risk do I want to take? Accumulating or distributing? ETFs and/or individual shares? If so, which ones and why? Are there specific countries and/or sectors I would like to focus on?

Only at the end of last week were all the answers to these questions clear: a long-term investment horizon of just over 35 years with relatively low risk. A healthy ETF/share mix of 60/40. Distributing portfolio with high-yield and high-growth positions and with a relative focus on the USA and Europe.

I have a good feeling that I am happy with my strategy in the long term and finally no longer have to constantly turn the entire portfolio inside out.

My ETFs and individual stocks are $HMWO (+0,39 %)
$TDIV (+1,23 %)
$DGSD (-1,04 %)
$MAIN (-0,5 %)
$NOVO B (-1,98 %)
$PGR (+2,3 %)
$PSA (+0,48 %)
$UKW (+0 %)
$APH (+0,51 %)
$DHL (+0,8 %)
$HSBA (-1,07 %)
$MUX (+1,64 %)
$NEE (+1,32 %)
$ZTS (+1,79 %)
$AFL (+1,79 %)
$O (-1,04 %)
$SHEL (-1,49 %)
$VID (-0,46 %)
$RACE (+1,14 %)
$PLD (+0,99 %)
$OMV (+0,76 %)
$PAL (-0,15 %)
$RIO (-0,49 %) and last but not least $VOW (+0,51 %)

I have been intensively involved in the real estate sector and have discovered some supposedly exciting companies such as

$SPG (+1,44 %)
$GLPI (+0,5 %)
$CUBE (-0,08 %) and $BRX (+0,9 %) discovered.

But there are special features to the valuation of REITs. 🧐

Traditional key figures such as high returns on capital or margins are often misleading, as REITs are legally obliged to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income 🤑 and are also highly leveraged.

In order to better assess REITs, I have read up on the subject and adjusted my valuation standards. Instead of adjusted earnings, I now focus more on funds from operations (FFO) and adjusted funds from operations (AFFO), which more realistically reflect operating profitability.

Here are some of the companies that I find particularly interesting:

• Public Storage $PSA (+0,48 %) Leading provider in the self storage segment with an FFO yield of approx. 5.9%

• Prologis $PLD (+0,99 %) Global leader in logistics real estate with strong growth

• Equinix $EQIX (+0,26 %) Data center operator with a scalable business model

• Agree Realty $ADC (+0,15 %) Focus on retail properties with long-term rental agreements and an FFO yield of approx. 5.7 %.

I also see Energiekontor $EKT (-0,99 %) as an alternative real estate investment 🤓. Energiekontor currently operates 39 of its own wind and solar parks, which generate electricity revenues instead of rental income.

Which companies do you see as particularly promising for a long-term investment?

first posi full

stable company stable dividends

and sector was underweighted for me

In the still young year, the DAX has already recorded 16 record highs, the last one only yesterday. Most other stock market indices are also close to their all-time highs.

Where can you still invest now?
