Personal dividend yield here is approx. 1.8% plus almost 50% growth in value in one year

$KSB (+0,85%)
$NU (-1,13%)
$RKLB (+3,88%) and $7974 (-2,6%) have pushed my portfolio so much this week that I am now about 0.5% away from my big milestone.

Will it happen today?

Probably not, but who knows. It's been a crazy week somehow.

Crate of beer is cold. I just don't like champagne.

Edit.

Not $7974 (-2,6%) but $GS (+1,24%) 😉

Hello my dears...

There have been adjustments to the Sina 40

Out:

$JNJ (-0,29%)
$ALV (-0,53%)
$CS (-1,35%)
$NVDA (+2,49%)
$7974 (-2,6%)
$ULVR (-0,31%)
$NFLX (-0,67%)

NVIDIA only 50%

apart from j+J, there was considerable profit-taking in some cases (I think 25% is comparatively high for a company like Unilever)

In:

$ANET (+1,98%)
$ORCL (+5,86%)
$6857 (-1,98%)
$AVGO (+1,32%)
$TXN (+2,39%)
$COST (-0,2%)

Stocked up:

$AAPL (+1,35%)

$QCOM (+1,78%)

The remaining cash is € 2330, which will remain there for the time being. Currently the Sinas is 40, therefore only one Sinas 39. Let's see where the cash will then go in number 40

PS: the chart has been completely messed up by the adjustments. We were actually at 2.71 % 1 Y

April was here and it's already over again. Trump's liberation day was not as liberating as we now know. Nevertheless, a lot happened and the stock market remained very volatile in April. After initially falling sharply, it stabilized towards the middle of the month and ultimately rose again, leaving the S&P500 at -3.62% at the end of the month.

In April, I recorded a loss of 3.68%. Given the size of my portfolio, this corresponds to a value of almost €4,000.

Thanks to the dividends, which are gross here in the picture (net = €272.65), this amount is then reduced to just under €3,700.

The Dax (+0.80%) has beaten me again, but compared to the HSBC MSCI World (-4.24%) I am doing better again.

Over the year as a whole (YTD), I have lost ground again to the DAX, which has risen again. At the same time, however, I was able to further extend my lead over the MSCI World. However, as can be seen above, the MSCI World caught up considerably towards the end of the month.

April again showed that my portfolio is quite stable. That's the price you pay if you give up positive returns. Of course, everyone has to decide for themselves how well they can sleep.

My high and low performers in April were (top 3):

Nintendo ($7974 (-2,6%) ) +15,32%

Eon ($EOAN (-1,48%) ) +10,42%

Tesla ($TSLA (+5,1%) ) +8,87%

Pepsi ($PEP (+1%) ) -14,93%

UnitedHealth ($UNH (-5,29%) ) -20,62%

Petroleo Brasileiro ($PETR4 (+1,61%) ) -20,89%

Interesting that UnitedHealth was the second-worst stock in February, the second-best in March and now the second-worst again. A very volatile stock at the moment. Understandable, however, after the recent events.

Dividends:

In April, I received €272.65 net from a total of 15 distributions.

Compared to March 2024 (€182.13), this was an increase of 49.7%.

I now expect another increase in May before it falls sharply again afterwards.

Investments:

As in February and also in March, I am still building up my nest egg again. This was actually planned to be completed in April or May at the latest. But now the car is broken and the repairs will cost a lot. So the replenishment continues.

The special payment in April went into the $XEON (-0%). I also treated myself to a South African government bond, which will also mature in the year the first loan is due. I'm happy to take the 8% until then and if I don't see the money again, then it was a try and I can cope with it.

Buying and selling:

I sold Monster with a plus of 12.3%. Simply because I want to reduce the size of the portfolio, Monster does not pay a dividend and we were very close to the all-time high in April.

I bought or increased Gladstone Investment (I'm happy to take the special dividend in June), Texas Instruments, LVMH, Rio Tinto, United Health, Lockheed Martin and Waste Management.

Savings plans (125€ in total):

• Cintas ($CTAS (-4,38%) )
• LVMH ($MC (+4%) )
• Microsoft ($MSFT (-0,06%) )

Target 2025:

My goal is still to have € 130,000 in my portfolio at the end of the year. The goal is to be achieved by reinvesting the dividend, making payments and, of course, increasing the share price. The share price increase is of course impossible to predict in any way, so the motto is: if the share price falls or does not rise enough, more cash is needed.

This comes from selling useless stuff on eBay, additional income from e.g. "neighborhood help" etc.

The worse the share price, the more additional cash has to be raised.

Target achievement at the end of April 2025: 22.22%

I'm slowly lagging behind the average. It's definitely going to be very sporty this year.

Let's see what else is coming. Now that Trump has probably signed a commodities deal with Ukraine, the share price will rise again somewhat, at least in the next few days. After that it will be uncertain again.

How was your April? As the getquin monthly report for March was not published, I am now looking forward to the April report.

If you liked the report and would like to read more, feel free to follow me,

Hello dear people on getquin, I am 19 years old and today you can marvel at my portfolio. I worked as a software developer at a web dev company during my school days and have been studying since October after graduating with a 2.0. The main part comes from the source described above, a few savings and Christmas money of 100-200 euros have certainly also flowed into it.

As I am relatively young, I think I can cope with the 50% $BTC (-0,88%) share, even if it will certainly send a shiver down the spine of one or two people.

I expect the relatively small individual share positions ( $HOOD (+6,48%) , $7974 (-2,6%) ), these are rather positions that reflect my fun and my interest in the stock market... well.

I had no interest in spending money on traveling etc. Often earned more than my classmates which felt kind of weird, I don't know...

Autism diagnosis pending.

Don't be too hard on me... or something?

Rebalancing at Nintendo again. Has grown again to the largest position so limit order set at 70€ and cashed out

Hey guys, today invested in $7974 (-2,6%) - shares today - first position set!

Have you heard about the gaming boom? 🎮 Shares in video game companies are rising rapidly in 2025. This is due to highly anticipated releases such as Grand Theft Auto 6 and the Nintendo Switch 2.

Investors are excited because the market for video games could grow to an incredible 282.3 billion US dollars this year. Statista reports an annual growth rate of 8.76 percent for the next three years. Demand is particularly strong in China and the USA, where almost half of the revenue is generated.

The new generation of gamers is ensuring that video games are becoming increasingly popular. Social networks and mobile devices are also contributing to the reach.

So if you are interested in stocks like Nintendo $7974 (-2,6%) or Take-Two $TTWO (+0,16%) now could be a good time to get in. Gaming ETFs are even outperforming the S&P 500!

What do you think about the future of the gaming market? 📈
