So, the next purchases have been made—here’s a brief overview of the structure.

95% goes into securities, just under 2.5% into gold, and 2.5% into fixed-income securities.

Of that, just under 78% is in ETPs and the remaining 22% in stocks.

As for sector weighting, currently just under 28% is in financials, 22% in information technology, 9% in semiconductors, 8% in real estate stocks, and ~6% in major banks; the rest is further diversified.

What is the goal? Well, part of the goal is to preserve and grow capital—as we all know.

To that end, my father and I decided to use a ready-made ETF ($GERD (-1,09 %) ) that has a weighting of just under 75%. About 5% is in gold and an overnight swap. The remaining 20% consists of individual stocks, such as $MP (-2,75 %) ,$PG (+0,16 %) ,$JNJ (-0,94 %) , $CAT (-2,99 %) or even $KHC (+1,57 %) .

How do we determine which stocks to include in the portfolio—specifically, the background stocks required for Ki, such as $MP (-2,75 %)
$CMS (+1,19 %)
$CRWD (-2,48 %)
$RKLB (-3,91 %)
$SYM (-1,54 %) and $AVGO (-2,31 %) . The key factors for these companies are, first and foremost, energy consumption, security, raw materials, robotics, and systems.

However, we’ll also include a few standard holdings in the portfolio, such as $SHEL (+0,1 %)
$MCD (+0,02 %)
$TSLA (+0,6 %)
$CVX (+1,29 %) or $BAC (-2,25 %) . Since, in our opinion, these are strong and important fundamentals.

As I said, in a few days there will most likely be a portfolio post where you can critique it however you like.

This is currently our decision and strategy, and thanks to it, we’re already up nearly 20k in profit since our first purchases this week.

Best regards. ✌🏻

Monday:

The inflation rate in Germany is rising again and is estimated to have been 2.9% in August. Rising fuel prices are the main driver behind this trend. As a direct result, German government bonds rose to a 15-year high, as an interest rate hike by the ECB becomes more likely.

Tuesday:

The $625 (-1,2 %) Shein IPO did not go particularly well. The stock slipped below its offering price after the IPO. Compared to earlier valuation rounds, Shein has already lost about 75% of its value. The business model is also suffering from high shipping costs.

Chevron has been gone!

$CVX (+1,29 %)

Servus 'zam!

I'm currently considering selling my Chevron shares. I've been holding the stock for almost six months and am making a good profit.

The oil business is not my favorite sector and the market is currently difficult for me to assess. What is the community's view on this? Thank you
