$VWCE (+0,41 %) A small harbinger of how the World ETF will start tomorrow. Due to the high weighting of $MSFT (+0,27 %) 🟢$NVDA (+0,4 %) 🟢$META (-0,65 %) 🟢$AMZN (+0,1 %) 🟢and Co, it should start in green tomorrow 😁
Among the losers of the day today with over -10% is the share of $LLY (+3,39 %) 🔴

No deal with Putin, no deal with TikTok, no deal with China.... In the end, Trump had to back down again. What hedge fund managers, US industry and high-ranking Republicans had been calling for days ago came true yesterday. Just before his political "suicide", the ripcord was pulled.
My portfolio conclusion: it has once again proven true - everything that falls quickly can also rise quickly again, and vice versa📉📈 Somehow a crash in fast motion.💥 It's not over yet. We are still a long way from the highs.
The last few days around 30k have been invested in the portfolio, even several times due to the nice volatility, as I've been in and out with the whole amount about 3 times in total.
Yesterday morning I went back in with the stocks that were taken out the day before. Orders closed $UBER (+1,56 %)
$RDC (-0,41 %)
$KTN (-0,26 %)
$VER (-0,19 %)
$ZAL (-0,7 %) and also the $WEBG (+0,85 %) was expanded with approx. 5k. I like to invest the trading proceeds in ETFs to steadily expand the core.
How did you get on? Were you brave enough to get in?
Because I can see that some people are slowly approaching their entry level with their ETFs, here is some food for thought:
If you've always had your eye on other stocks but didn't want to sell for tax reasons, now is the chance to sell your $VWCE (+0,41 %) and invest in $GERD (+0,47 %) or one $WEBG (+0,85 %) or other ETFs that you only discovered after your savings plan has been running for a few years. 😘

Artificial intelligence is changing everything—our jobs, our habits, and even how we invest. But can AI actually build a better portfolio than a human investor? I decided to put it to the test.
I turned to ChatGPT, Google Bard, and several AI-powered investing tools to see what kind of portfolio they would build for me based on my risk tolerance, financial goals, and investing philosophy. The results? Some solid picks, a few surprises, and one big lesson about the future of investing.
Step 1: The AI Portfolio Construction Process
First, I gave AI some basic information about my financial situation:
✅ My investment horizon: Long-term (10+ years)
✅ My risk tolerance: Moderate to high
✅ My preference: A mix of growth, dividends, and some diversification
I expected AI to recommend something similar to my current strategy, but instead, it gave me a structured, data-driven approach that made me rethink some of my own biases. Here’s the breakdown of what AI suggested:
📊 The AI-Generated Portfolio:
50% Broad Market ETFs – $VUAG (+0,54 %) , $WEBG (+0,85 %) , and emerging markets for global exposure.
25% Dividend Stocks – High-yield and consistent dividend growers for passive income.
15% Growth Stocks – High-potential companies with strong fundamentals.
10% Alternative Investments – A mix of REITs, bonds, and even crypto $BTC (-0,01 %)
$ETH (-0,04 %) (which I wasn’t expecting!).
At first glance, this portfolio seemed balanced and well-diversified—but was it actually better than what I had built myself?
Step 2: Comparing AI’s Picks to My Own Strategy
I ran some backtests and did a deep dive into AI’s stock picks. A few things stood out:
📈 AI Loves ETFs – Unlike many stock pickers who chase individual companies, AI leaned heavily on ETFs for stability and long-term compounding. Makes sense!
🚀 Aggressive Growth Choices – AI selected some individual growth stocks that I had never even considered, many of them in AI, cloud computing, and biotech. Risky? Yes. But interesting!
💸 Overweight in Tech – Unsurprisingly, AI favored big tech names—perhaps too much. I had to wonder: is AI biased toward companies that are leading AI development? 🤔
🏦 No Bonds, No $GOLD ? – AI completely ignored traditional hedges like bonds or gold. This made me question if it underestimates market downturns.
Step 3: The Big Takeaways
After analyzing AI’s portfolio, here’s what I learned:
✅ AI is great at removing emotions from investing. It doesn’t panic during downturns or chase hype—it simply follows the data.
❌ AI is not perfect. It might over-optimize based on past data and ignore real-world factors like geopolitical risks or economic cycles.
💡 The best approach? A hybrid one. AI is an amazing tool, but human intuition, experience, and common sense are still crucial. I’m now incorporating some of AI’s suggestions into my strategy, but I’m not blindly following it.
Final Question: Would You Trust AI to Manage Your Portfolio?
AI investing is becoming more powerful, but would you let an algorithm handle your entire portfolio without human oversight? Or do you think
AI will never fully replace human investors?
Hello everyone,
I would like to start a discussion about the best #etf s for the #schweiz to start. Let's start with the most important basics:
For some years now I have been investing in the MSCI World $XDWD (+0,47 %) (World Industrialized Countries) and not too long ago the AC World $XMAW (+0,81 %) (All World). This is because, in addition to my Swiss broker (#saxobank ) and #ikbr my German bank (#consorsbank ) and Amundi and Xtracker ETFs can be saved there free of charge, which would be obsolete due to the low costs of Saxo and/or IKBR. In addition, these are accumulating and I would prefer to save in distributing ETFs. With a TER of 0.19% and 0.25%, these are okay, but certainly not the best ($VT (+0,86 %) or $at 0.06%).
Irish alternatives would be the $WEBG (+0,85 %) (TER 0.7%, distributing, All-World), $UBU7 (+0,45 %) (TER 0.10%, distributing, MSCI-World), $VDEV (+0,84 %) (TER 0.10%, distributing, industrialized countries) or $XDWL (+0,4 %) (TER 0.12%, distributing, MSCI-World and counterpart to my accumulating $XDWD (+0,47 %) ).
Which ETF do you save in if you are a Swiss resident? Which ETF would you save in if you were in the Swiss "luxury" situation?
For all investors and interested parties: Amundi has finally published information on its homepage about the distribution at $WEBG (+0,85 %)
0.162 USD per share will be distributed on 12.02. Corresponds to about 1.38%
Hey everyone! 👋 I wanted to share an update on my passive income journey, both to track my progress and to exchange ideas with this great community. A few years ago, I set a goal: build enough passive income to have more freedom and flexibility in life. I’m not at full financial independence yet, but I’m making steady progress. Right now, my investments generate €2,600/month, which significantly reduces financial pressure and allows me to reinvest, save, and enjoy life a bit more.
🔍 Where Does My Passive Income Come From?
🏠 Real Estate – €1,950/month
Real estate has been a key part of my strategy, providing a steady source of monthly cash flow. I currently own three rental properties, and here’s how they’re performing:
Dubino, Italy – Rented for €800/month
Roquetas de Mar, Spain (Property 1) – Rented for €450/month
Roquetas de Mar, Spain (Property 2) – Rented for €700/month
I like real estate because it provides stable, predictable income, and over time, the properties appreciate in value. Of course, there are challenges—tenant issues, maintenance, taxes—but overall, it’s been a solid investment.
📈 Dividend ETFs – €650/month
Besides real estate, I also invest in dividend-paying ETFs. My ETF portfolio is currently worth €127,000, and it’s structured to provide a mix of growth and income. I focus on high-yield and dividend-growth ETFs, with an average yield of around 6.14%.
ETFs require zero maintenance compared to real estate. No tenants, no repairs—just passive income that gets deposited into my account. The plan is to keep reinvesting dividends until they can fully cover my expenses.
💡 Lessons I’ve Learned Along the Way
✅ Cash flow is king – Having stable monthly income gives me more options in life.
✅ Diversification matters – Real estate and ETFs balance each other out.
✅ Long-term mindset – The goal isn’t to get rich quick, but to build lasting wealth.
✅ Leverage can be powerful (but risky) – I used some debt to acquire real estate, but I keep my debt levels manageable.
🎯 What’s Next?
I’m currently debating whether to expand my ETF portfolio or acquire another rental property. Real estate offers more cash flow, but ETFs are truly passive. I might go for a mix of both. 🤔
Curious to hear from you all—how do you structure your passive income streams? Are you more into real estate, stocks, or
something else? 🚀💬
