🔄 Retreat, reset and a depot that lets me sleep peacefully again

Some of you may have noticed:

I was hardly active on getquin for a long time. There was no particular external reason for this; it was more of a conscious step back.

At that time, my portfolio was completely high risk oriented. Lots of bets, lots of hope, lots of emotion. In the meantime, I was also really clearly in the red 📉. Those weren't nice phases and, to be honest, I was more mentally preoccupied than I wanted to admit.

So I withdrew.

Not out of frustration, but to reflect.

✅ Less noise, more conviction

For several weeks, months in fact, I thought hard about my strategy:

• Which risk really suits me?
• Which companies do I believe in for the long term, even if things don't go well for a while?
• How do I create a portfolio that not only has return potential, but also brings mental calm?

The consequence of this:

Today, my portfolio is more clearly structured, broader-based and significantly less risky. Without completely foregoing opportunities.

Yes, Rocket Lab ($RKLB (+6,4 %) ) and Iris Energy ($IREN (-3,37 %) ) are still high-risk investments 🚀. I am fully aware of that.

The difference to before:

I no longer hold them out of greed, but out of genuine conviction in the companies and their future.

ETFs as a foundation

However, the most important change came with the foundation of my portfolio: ETFs.

I deliberately opted for a consistent savings plan to bring me long-term stability and growth:

• iShares Core MSCI World ($IWDA (+0,5 %) ) - 900 € per month
• MSCI World Small Cap ($WSML (-0,44 %) ) - 300 € per month
• Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets ($XEMD (+1,96 %) ) - € 387.50 per month
• Global X Copper Miners ETF ($COPX (+3,35 %) ) - € 412.50 per month

This mix feels just right for me at the moment:

global, diversified, future-oriented and yet calm enough not to get emotionally involved in every market movement.

🛌 Performance is coming - sleep is more important

My portfolio is currently performing very, very well.

Of course I hope it stays that way for the time being, but that's no longer the main point.

The biggest difference compared to before is something else:

👉 I can sleep well again.

No constant checking, no panic on red days, no extreme hoping for the next hype.

Instead: Trust in my structure and my decisions.
