Outlook for 2024 confirmed

The company expects demand in the construction sector to stabilize at a low level globally, even though inflation and persistently high financing costs are likely to continue to impact residential construction in particular. Cost trends on the energy and raw materials markets are likely to remain volatile. The focus will therefore remain on price adjustments and strict cost management.

The UK equity market has lagged behind global equity markets since Brexit, but bargain-hunting investors are showing renewed interest. Dina Ting, Head of Global Index Portfolio Management at Franklin Templeton ETFs, discusses the positive trends that make the case for investing in UK equities.

And after a long struggle with me, another stock is added to the next savings plan:

Can you still remember the sand article?

As my portfolio score is suffering due to too much US exposure, I am looking for non-US distributing securities. 🇩🇪🇬🇧🇯🇵...

Currently on my radar are:

$ALV (+0,9%) (The classic in every dividend portfolio)

$HEI (+4,11%) Construction sector Cement Market leader

$RIO (+3,54%)

Always open to further suggestions 😉

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.

Savings plan: €350 is increased annually.

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
