Today I wanted to present my experiences since my first own investments.
To start: I am 39 and my interest in the market began in August 23.
My professional expertise lies particularly in product development and nuclear technology.
I have 2 degrees (engineering with a focus on product development and radiation protection engineer) and 2 apprenticeships as an automotive mechatronics technician and radiation protection specialist. After 7 years of working in product development, I left this profession completely and currently work in radiation protection at various nuclear facilities and power plants worldwide.
Intended for retirement: I had previously invested, 5 years with Targobank, 3 years with DVAG/Generali through unit-linked pension insurance. With the result of -40% of the invested money plus liquidation costs of approx. -30%.
So I started to do some research. Like many others, I initially had hardly any experience in the sector and started by investing a few euros in some no-name companies. At a loss.
I read up and quickly found access to Getquin. I tried back and forth and of course listened to "Trust me, brother". With losses.
Now I've gained enough experience and found the ideal strategy for me: Diversity but not at the expense of performance.

Zero display in Getquin I am currently too lazy to enter everything manually.
Strategy: Buy and Hold
I also invest between €2,000 and €6,000 2-3 times a year in addition to my savings plan.
Furthermore, I actively use Solana crypto (partially staked) and reinvest the profits in other shares or increase my holdings.
Why not Bitcoin: In my opinion, Solana has always performed better than Bitcoin to date.
Strategy: Time to market
Investment time: min. 15 years
In the medium term, I will also open a company portfolio and implement the savings plan strategy.
In the long term, it will remain at €1500 crypto. However, the ETF and share holdings will increase.
I look forward to your feedback.
Best regards
Adrian
