Salvete, investors!
My name is Automatix - the name says it all.
Like my namesake from the Gallic village, I prefer to focus on craftsmanship, substance and consistency rather than magic potions or short-term success.
I'm 37 (turning 38 this year) and have only been actively investing in the capital market since the end of 2024 - a pretty bumpy journey so far
But my goal has now become clear to me:
long-term wealth accumulation with a focus on dividends.
I am aware that it is ambitious - perhaps even unrealistic - to live entirely from dividends one day.
But it is precisely this idea that drives me, not my promise.
Professionally, I have been working full-time for a large German tech company for 15 years.
Here I have worked my way up from the very bottom - call center supporter to key account manager to my current position as senior project manager - so structured work, long-term thinking and risk assessment are part of my everyday life.
At the same time, I run a family farm as a sideline
- approx. 80% horse boarding (yes, I also ride 🏇)
- approx. 20 % forestry business
This combination of technology, project work and real economic substance also characterizes my investment approach.
Before I became intensively involved with shares, my first major investments were in real assets:
- two apartments (already paid off & rented out)
- a plot of land (financed by rental income) on which one or two apartment buildings are to be built for rent in the future
For me, shares are therefore not a substitute, but a supplement to existing tangible assets.
I invest at least €750 per month, usually more, and focus on:
- 🌍 global ETFs $VWRL (+0,09 %) & $TDIV (+1,1 %) as a stable foundation
- 🏗️ Individual stocks, deliberately selected, with a focus on Germany & Europe
For individual stocks, I prefer healthy, growing companies.
I prefer dividend growth to high initial yields without substance.
The core of my portfolio will be $SIE (-0,9 %) supplemented by stocks such as
$ALV (-0,22 %) , $DTE (+1,99 %) , $SAP (+0,64 %) , $MUV2 (+0,29 %) and $DB1 (+1,16 %) .
Each position is built up gradually - first €500, then €1,000, and significantly more in the long term.
No more hectic reallocations, no more chasing - just buy and hold!
I was a silent reader here for a long time, but would like to share my thoughts, decisions and learnings in the future - objectively & long-term (if there is interest)
No trading, no noise -
but patience, discipline and a stable anvil 🛠️
I am looking forward to your feedback - constructive criticism is always welcome.
Here's to a good exchange!
