So dear friends...

Waiting for the maturity date of my 10y Treasury bond, interest payment will be taken along and, a little too early in the short term, but in the longer term shifted into 20+ Treasury at approx. 5 % p.a.. $IBTL (+1,06 %) .

Furthermore, I finally got rid of my Global Clean Energy, albeit with a slight minus, but I see the cost pressure there immensely, and I also didn't like the weighting of the ETF "anymore".

With my savings rates, I'm trying to underperform Apple a little to get away from the almost 4 percent portfolio weighting. Apple is too annoying for me, at least in terms of the iPhone. Year after year, less and less innovation regarding smartphones, now under time pressure only a "half-finished" cell phone released in Germany.

On the other hand, I am quite happy with my portfolio.

I will continue to invest in real estate shares in the future, $DHL (+0,61 %) I would like to push them to 1.5 %. I see an anti-cyclical opportunity here, the key figures seem to be okay. And the economy will also enjoy an upswing again at some point. Big player, albeit boring for some. But would like to upgrade it as a small individual share and hold it for the long term...dividend tastes good.

$PATH (+1,61 %) and $ALFEN (+0,55 %) will still think about a plan to sell, or one day one share will give way for the other.

We don't need to discuss Freyr and Halo, everyone starts at some point and unfortunately they are no longer tradable on L&S.

I am open to constructive criticism.

Have a nice evening and good luck 😅😅

What the current week on the stock market has shown me

The current stock market week is not quite over yet, but we can already make some observations and draw some conclusions:

1) Prices can also fall!

Yes, prices do not only move in one direction; they can also fall. We have already seen in recent months that individual companies have been selectively punished after disappointing quarterly figures; see $NKE (+1,11 %), $SBUX (+0,33 %) or $PATH (+1,61 %). So far, the broad market has nevertheless continued to rise. This week shows that even the broad indices $IWDA (+0,63 %) or $VWRL (+0,63 %) can fall by several percent. The fact that top-heavy indices such as the NASDAQ 100 $QQQ can suffer daily losses of more than 3% is something that many people seem to be realizing only now. Not every 2% correction is a dip and has to be bought. We can see how quickly things can go down further.

2) Getquin symbolizes the whole drama

In recent weeks, there have been an increasing number of articles in which the author has expressed a supposed fearlessness about investing at the all-time high or overweighting individual stocks that are performing strongly. Personally, I find it unsurprising to read articles on the subject of $NVDA (+0,59 %) , $SMCI or most recently $DRO (+0,22 %) noticed. The motto "All-in Nvidia" or "Buy the Dip" was celebrated and now you can already see the first posts of the kind "Help I bought Nvidia at the ATH and don't know if I should sell". Above all, this shows that far too few people give sufficient thought to what will happen if a share falls by 10, 20 or even 30%. Far too few people think for themselves, develop a watertight investment thesis or think about the current meaningfulness of the valuation.

To be clear again: I have nothing against the companies mentioned, they are just an obvious example. Many people blindly chase after the current hot stocks and then justify it with empty phrases or talk about momentum. The fact that momentum can also go in the other direction is often forgotten.

3) Hype is and remains hype

In particular, sectors that have only known one direction in recent times are now particularly affected. Be it the chip sector or technology stocks in general. After every valuation was justified by the enormous growth forecast for 2027, we now seem to be facing at least the beginning of disillusionment. For the first time, people seem to be questioning what the supposed AI champions actually want to earn their money with in order to cover the enormous investment costs. Statements with this tenor from the earnings call of $GOOGL (+0,82 %) now also seem to be fueling doubts among investors.

Investing on the stock market is and remains psychology: shares that are currently doing well must continue to do well (recency bias) and what is being talked about the most is then directly the best investment. Prices are mainly made by people and people often follow the masses. It is and always will be important to think about your own investments independently of the general opinion and to act anti-cyclically. But that is easier said than done.

Stay tuned,

Yours Michael Scott

Hello getquin,

In response to European restrictions on Russian oil, Moscow could look for new buyers or cut production to keep prices high. If OPEC does not intervene, its actions will affect the global economy.

As part of the EU's sixth package of sanctions against Russia since the invasion of Ukraine, EU leaders agreed Monday to ban 90% of Russian crude by the end of the year.

In a report Tuesday, Helima Croft, head of global commodity strategy at RBC Capital Markets, said, "The Russian response will definitely require close monitoring."

When U.S. President Joe Biden and Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell meet at the White House, it is a sign that the situation is serious. That's because they meet only on rare occasions, such as the inauguration. Meanwhile, the Democrat and the Federal Reserve chairman have already met three times. Because inflation is now higher than it has been in 40 years, reaching 8.3 percent in April.

On Wednesday, Solana fell more than 12% as the blockchain failed for the second time in less than a month.

During the crypto boom last year, investors who had focused primarily on Ethereum began diversifying into Solana and other alternative blockchains.

However, over the past year and a half, the blockchain network experienced repeated outages, highlighting the downside.

Nate Chastain, the former head of product at OpenSea who left the NFT market following an insider trading scandal in September 2021, is now in the crosshairs of U.S. authorities.

Chastain was charged Wednesday with wire fraud and money laundering in connection with trading on confidential information about which non-fungible tokens would appear on OpenSea's home page, the Justice Department said in a press release. The two indictments each carry a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

The Justice Department alleges in the press release that Chastain sold "dozens of NFTs" after posting them on the website for two to five times their original price. Chastain concealed his fraud by making these purchases through anonymous digital wallets and anonymous OpenSea user accounts, according to the Justice Department.
