My "What if?" portfolio

Would have, would have, bicycle chain

Do you know this? You're sitting around like this, you're unemployed, you're 6 months behind with the rent, your landlord has given notice and your girlfriend is now with @Testo-Investor because he's a real doer. And while you get up because the bailiff is taking away the last armchair you were sitting on 5 minutes ago, you think to yourself "At least I don't have to organize a move anymore. But if I had invested in $BTC (+0,76%) then none of this would have happened".

We mourn missed opportunities. Opportunities that we didn't know about ("Bit... what?"), opportunities that we didn't believe in ("Somehow the old job is more comfortable, I don't need that bit more money and promotion opportunities") and opportunities that we screwed up ourselves ("lol, they're actually offering 100 euros for my $NVDA (+1,51%) shares. Take my stock, you fools"). But is it really that bad?

In 2022, I wrote my post "Why it makes sense to sell bad buys at a loss" https://app.getquin.com/activity/JMQwETSOoS . Back then, there wasn't even formatting for posts on getquin. We had to use shoddy tricks, which is why the umlauts in headlines looked so funny. But I digress. Anyway, I was busy selling positions and was in the middle of finding my strategy, which was still changing or at least concretizing over the last few years. As I continuously pushed ahead with my change in strategy, I sold some positions. Not primarily because I no longer believed in the positions, but because they no longer fitted into my strategy of a leaner and less expensive portfolio.

For example, a few weeks ago I sold $HBAR (+1,47%) with a loss of over 60%. Since then, the coin has risen by around 180%. I also sold Nvidia in January 2022 for EUR 26.315 (split-adjusted) - at least at a profit. The list goes on and on.

Do I regret the sales? Of course it hurts to see how much return has fallen by the wayside. But I stand behind my overriding goal of adjusting my strategy, so I have absolutely no regrets.

But sometimes I still ask myself: what if? And that's why I created my "What if?" portfolio on getquin. All my sales are listed there as purchases with the selling price at the time and the corresponding quantity. In other words, it tracks the price development since the sale. And with this portfolio feedback I give you an exclusive insight - including absolute values.

What do I learn from it?

• It's amazing that you've made it this far. I really tend to beat around the bush. And you almost seem to be in love with me, the way you're glued to my lips.
• In retrospect, some sales were really annoying, e.g. Nvidia
• Despite high returns recently, I'm not at all annoyed about the sales of $ADA (+6,49%), $HBAR (+1,47%) and $IOTA (+2,22%). Overall, the difference is only a few hundred euros and therefore peanuts in the portfolio. Moreover, the positions would still have been very far from the entry price
• Other positions performed rather mediocre to poorly, for example . $YOU (+1,8%), $MPW (+1,98%) or $BAYN (-0,14%). Here the sale definitely made sense
• Overall, I have sold relatively little of my portfolio. The sales currently only make up a fraction of my overall portfolio
• Of course, it should not be forgotten that I have reallocated the proceeds from my sales to my existing portfolio (crypto to crypto, shares and ETF to ETF) and a return was also generated here
• My "what if" portfolio achieved a TTWROR of under 20%, while my aggregated portfolio generated a TTWROR of over 30% in the same period
• It's damn difficult to time the market. I can't do it. So I don't even try

Looking back, I did everything right. But even if I hadn't, I wouldn't have any regrets. So don't fret about missed opportunities, stay true to yourself and focus on the future.

Tuesday:

The agricultural group $BAYN (-0,14%) Bayer misses expectations again. Operating profit for 2024 is now estimated at only 10.4 to 10.7 billion euros. Sales fell by 3.6% in Q3. Mainly because glyphosate is currently no longer in such high demand in South America.

$SIX2 (-1,06%) Sixt is still struggling with write-downs on used cars. Business itself is going well. Sixt still expects a pre-tax profit of EUR 340 million for 2024. Revenue increased by 10% in the third quarter.

The ZEW economic expectations were worse than expected. Expectations have worsened, the opposite had been expected.

Significant increase at $VUL (+5,4%) Vulcan Energy, the company is producing green lithium hydroxide for the first time from its own European plant in Frankfurt Höchst. The first quantities are now going to customers LG, Umicore, Stellantis and Renault.

Wednesday:

The inflation rate in the USA is rising again, now at 2.6%. It is thus moving away from the target value of 2.0%. Economists expect Trump to cause inflation to rise further. This is because fewer tax payments could further fuel the US economy, which could lead to shortages of goods. Tariffs and a stock market rally could drive prices up further.

Thursday:

Producer prices from the USA 🇺🇸 are higher than expected. Instead of 2.3%, prices rose by an average of 2.4% compared to the same month last year. The core index excluding food and energy prices also rose.

Friday:

$TKA (-0,54%) After the hydrogen subsidiary $NCH2 (-2,05%) Nucera, Thyssenkrupp is planning its next spin-off. This time, the marine division is to be floated on the stock exchange as an independent company. Sales negotiations with the investor Carlyle have recently failed.

Here are my thoughts on Bayer shares $BAYN (-0,14%) :

The management has so many options, none of which they are using - are they really waiting for the Supreme Court decision?

Of course, the best option would have been not to swallow Monsanto back then - but now it's too late!

$BAYN (-0,14%)

Bayer shares currently have a mixed outlook. Following the Monsanto takeover, the company continues to be under pressure from legal disputes, particularly in the USA due to glyphosate lawsuits, which are causing high costs. The share has been under pressure since then and has struggled to recover. On the positive side, Bayer is well positioned in pharmaceuticals and crop science and is pursuing key research areas such as cancer therapies. However, profits are uncertain and volatile. In the long term, Bayer could benefit from innovations, but the risk remains high until the legal disputes are resolved.
