1/3 purchases from today
slowly building portfolio foundation
Postes
42Milestone reached, €100,000 ✔️
It all started in 2022 with €3,000 starting capital. I didn't have a sophisticated strategy, my first purchases were McDonalds, Berkshire, Nvidia and Microsoft.
Over time, my ambition grew, my savings rate increased and a suitable strategy developed for me.
It feels good to achieve the first big goal, but the journey will continue and I'm already looking forward to achieving more goals.
My €500 savings plan on the S&P500 $VUAG (+1,04 %) is still running. From 2025, I will build up a slightly larger cash position in parallel for further options, job training, real estate, dividends, etc.

How does the stock market react to US elections? A look into the past 🇺🇲
The US elections are a global event that affects not only the political world, but also the economic world. As I am looking to invest a large amount in the S&P500 myself, I wondered how the stock markets would perform after a presidential election. Historical data shows some interesting patterns that give us insight into how markets react to election outcomes.
Short-term uncertainty and volatility
Before and immediately after elections, markets often experience a period of heightened volatility. Uncertainty about which political guidelines the new president will implement leads investors to act more cautiously. For example, the unclear election result in 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore led to a temporary decline in the S&P 500 until the Supreme Court made a final decision and the market regained stability.
Republican or Democrat - does it make a difference?
Interestingly, both parties have historically delivered positive stock market returns, but the immediate market reaction often differs depending on the party affiliation of the election winner. A Republican victory, as with Donald Trump in 2016, is often associated with pro-business policies, such as tax cuts and less regulation, which can lead to a short-term rise in stock prices. After Trump's election, the S&P 500 gained around 5% in the remaining weeks of 2016 as investors hoped for deregulation and economic stimulus.
Long-term market performance - focus on the economy and monetary policy
While elections undoubtedly have a short to medium-term impact, long-term market performance is more dependent on general economic conditions and monetary policy. For example, under presidents of both parties - from Obama to Biden, from Bush to Trump - the stock markets recorded positive returns on average. The Federal Reserve's expansionary monetary policy often played a decisive role in this, as low interest rates and bond purchases supported the markets and boosted growth.
Conclusion
The stock market often reacts positively in the short term to the clarification of political uncertainties after elections. In the long term, however, general economic conditions and monetary policy measures are of key importance. Regardless of the president's party affiliation, historical data shows that stock markets can achieve growth under either party.

Hello community!
I'm quite new to the investments world, but I've studied a bit and I'd like to have an additional opinion about how to invest my money.
I have 20k euros to invest, and I plan to add 400 euros every month.
I plan to let this money grow for at least 20 years or even more.
I have decided to invest in I decided to invest in an All-World ETF and my choice fell on $VWCE (+0,98 %) (I have also considered the $FWRG (+1,63 %) which has lower TER, but also lower fund volume and higher spread).
But I'd like to add one or more (not to much) ETFs to boost up a little bit the performance and I was thinking about some ETFs on the Nasdaq100 or the S&P 500 indexes (like $SPYL (+1,48 %)
$SPXD (+1,02 %)
$VUAG (+1,04 %)
$VUSA (+1,03 %)
$EQQQ (+0,93 %)
$UST (+1,01 %) ).
What do you think about this idea? I have read that there is an overlap problem doing this but I'd like to have more opinions about it.
I think also that would be nice to have some money coming from dividends for everyday use, but I haven't searched nothing and it's not essential for me.
Have you got any suggestions?
Thank you in advance
