The online custody account transfer to 212 is in progress and will be available soon. Of course, transferring from 212 already works now.

212 is also tax-simple and everything has worked quite well so far. I treated myself to a €100 exemption there at the beginning of the year, which didn't really make sense as I actually filled it up quickly at Volksbank. But I wanted to see if the calculations and deductions worked so far.

And for the dividend fans among you, the dividends arrive on time on payday in 99% of cases.

Of course I would be grateful if you are interested in switching, please use my link and get free shares up to 100€

Finally, my current best pie I would not have expected 5 months ago that it outperforms my other pie's 😉

$O (-0,2%)
$MAIN (+0,38%)
$LHA (+3,88%)
$RIO (-0,73%)
$LUG (+1,31%)
$BNP (+0,81%)
$BP. (+0,7%)
$KO (+0,1%)
$SIKA (-0,97%)
$MO (-0,38%)

So here's another little update on my 212 gadget. I'm still testing it and can't say anything negative so far.

I have created a second pie with a start date of 15.9. I'm mainly interested in dividend stocks here. The Schbeeball should slowly start rolling there

My target there is 100k and I'm currently paying in €50 every 2 weeks on Wednesdays.

I have received €2.63 so far, of which €1.59 is already invested. The rest will be invested automatically when the next savings plan is executed.

My holdings are as follows

$LUG (+1,31%)
$LHA (+3,88%)
$PETR4 (-0,18%)
$BNS (+0,1%)
$RIO (-0,73%)
$SIKA (-0,97%)
$O (-0,2%)
$KO (+0,1%)
$MO (-0,38%) and $MAIN (+0,38%) all have a target weighting of 10%

Here is the last savings plan execution, the Pie is self-balancing which I personally absolutely love. You don't have to change anything manually, dividends are also reinvested automatically and the whole thing costs no fees, plus the advantage that I can choose the stock exchanges, so I trade Coke etc. directly on the NYSE.

And the dividends arrive punctually in the account on payday.

Hello everyone,

I appreciate your feedback on my strategy.

I'm in my mid-50s and we currently put aside €2,900 every month. 1,900 goes into

$B161SX (-0,24%) to build up reserves. Current annual return 1.9%.

The aim here is to reach €50k in the next 20 months in order to be able to make the upcoming investments in the house.

As soon as this is achieved, I will reduce the savings in favor of the ETF's and in the next 5 years we will have paid off all debts and the free amounts will also go into asset accumulation.

Dream goal at the start of retirement 500T€UR. 😉

50% of the remaining €1,000 will go into

$UETW (-0,39%)

and 10% each in

$IS3R (-0,34%)

$IEFM (+0,01%)

$XMME (-0,72%)

$RBOT (-0,84%) and

$ISPY (-1,04%)

I want to monitor the performance of the two momentum ETFs to see whether they outperform the MSCI World and the Eurostoxx600. Over the next 12-24 months, I will then switch depending on the results.

I am still holding on to the existing individual stocks in order to sell them at a (larger) profit and have no time pressure here, even with the stocks in the red.

My price target is

$AIR (-1,41%) 240-250€

$CCL (+0,19%) at 28-30€

$LHA (+3,88%) at 9-10€

and the rest should bring 20-30% when I sell them.

This year I have still been working a lot with direct investments (currently +20% in 2025) but will continue to reduce this. The funds released will then go into the above-mentioned ETFs according to the above key.

I'm leaving out crypto, as the topic doesn't appeal to me, and commodities are too volatile for me, and gold is currently too expensive, even though many people are saying that we'll soon be at 5T€UR.

I look forward to your feedback or questions if something is unclear.

Lufthansa receives approval to acquire stake in Air Baltic

The Federal Cartel Office has now given the green light for Lufthansa's $LHA (+3,88%) in Air Baltic has now been given the green light. This is despite certain concerns regarding competition, as the two airlines are in direct competition with each other on several routes. In this segment in particular, alternative carriers are few and far between, which further complicates the situation. However, Andreas Mundt, Chairman of the Cartel Office, explained that the merger was accepted because the markets in question are so-called de minimis markets with very low turnover. In such cases, the authority refrains from intervening. For passengers, however, this could mean that they will have to prepare for higher ticket prices, especially for flights to the Baltic capitals of Riga, Tallinn and Vilnius. Despite the approval, Lufthansa emphasizes that Air Baltic will continue to operate as an independent company and remain autonomous.

René Benko and the money carousel

In the real estate industry, René Benko is a name that often causes a stir. This article, which deals with his business model, sheds light on the mechanisms behind his failed concept. Reference is made to a money carousel that is said to have played a central role in his financing strategies. However, specific methods or the possible consequences for Benko were not described in detail in the article. Given the sensitivity of the information and the ongoing proceedings, it remains to be seen what further revelations will come to light in this case. The reporting on Benko highlights the importance of transparency and a clear legal framework in the real estate sector in order to secure investor confidence and avoid future scandals.

Lufthansa starts the year with another high loss + Hellofresh suffers from sluggish demand for cooking boxes at the start of the year + Symrise on course for annual targets

Lufthansa $LHA (+3,88%)starts the year with another high loss

• Despite significantly higher revenues, Lufthansa has once again started the year with figures in the deep red.
• While several strikes had had an expensive impact in the previous year, operating costs rose noticeably in the first quarter.
• In addition, Easter only fell in the second quarter this time.
• However, despite the customs dispute with the USA, the Group counted significantly more travelers from the United States in March than a year earlier, as it announced in Frankfurt on Tuesday.
• Bookings from the USA continued to increase.
• This is another reason why CEO Carsten Spohr is sticking to his goal of increasing profits in day-to-day business (adjusted EBIT) in the current year and "significantly" exceeding the previous year's figure of around 1.65 billion euros.
• In the first quarter, the Group's turnover rose by ten percent year-on-year to 8.1 billion euros.
• The operating loss adjusted for special items (adjusted EBIT) decreased by 15 percent to 722 million euros.
• In the passenger business, however, the loss widened to 934 million euros.
• At the bottom line, the Group's loss increased by more than a fifth to 885 million euros due to lower tax relief.

Hellofresh $HFG (-1,21%)suffers from sluggish demand for cooking boxes at the start of the year

• Hellofresh suffered a decline in sales at the start of the year due to the continued sluggish business with cooking boxes.
• Revenues in the first quarter fell by around seven percent year-on-year to 1.93 billion euros, as the Berlin-based MDax company announced on Tuesday.
• In mid-March, the management had already predicted a difficult first quarter.
• While sales of cooking boxes shrank by 13.5 percent, the ready meals division grew by 10.5 percent.
• Hellofresh confirmed its forecast for the year.
• Adjusted for special effects, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA) soared by around 250 percent to 58.1 million euros due to the ongoing savings program.
• Savings in personnel costs and production were particularly noticeable in the cooking box business.
• Meanwhile, the growing ready meals business is still making an operating loss.
• The bottom line for shareholders was a loss of 123.8 million euros after 83.9 million in the same quarter of the previous year.
• Hellofresh continues to expect a decline in sales of three to eight percent in the current year.
• The adjusted operating profit is expected to be between 450 and 500 million euros and thus at least reach the level of two years ago.
• Back in March, the food delivery company announced a savings program: from 2026, a total of 300 million euros are to be saved annually.

Symrise $SY1 (-0,66%)on course for annual targets

• Despite a slower start to the year, Symrise believes it is on track to achieve its annual targets.
• Sales in the first quarter rose by just under two percent year-on-year to around 1.32 billion euros, as the manufacturer of fragrances, flavors and food additives announced on Tuesday.
• Excluding exchange rate effects as well as acquisitions and disposals of parts of the company, the increase amounted to 4.2 percent.
• Business with additives for beverages and sweets as well as fragrances for expensive perfumes provided a tailwind, while the sunscreen business was slower due to very strong figures from the previous year.
• Group sales were roughly in line with market expectations, while organic growth was slightly higher.
• The company confirmed its annual targets.
• Accordingly, organic growth should continue to reach 5% to 7% in 2025.
• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) are expected to account for around 21% of sales, which would continue the margin recovery of the previous year.
• Symrise will comment specifically on the profit trend when it publishes its half-year figures.
