I think Toyota Prius but Mercedes also good, BMW too. Race perhaps the strongest.

Others less good.

Unfortunately Subaru also very very weak.

What is happening with Hyundai ADR? Lies DEAD in my depot.

Renault and Stellantis also quite weak. VW slightly better but not good.

Ferrari is very strong but not really a car stock.

Porsche Holding, interesting.

Some time ago, Xiaomi launched the SU7, a really powerful electric car at an attractive price.

Visually, it looks very similar to the Porsche Taycan.

Now a second electric car from Xiaomi has been spotted - and this one has the shape of the Ferrari Purosangue.

It is clearly an e-SUV that Xiaomi is building. The vehicle is significantly higher than the SU7, has a long hood and offers plenty of space. The exterior shape is very reminiscent of the Ferrari Purosangue, which you can see in the picture below.

For Ferrari, an affordable electric car with this design could become a real problem for China. Of course, there will always be people who will buy a Ferrari because it is also a status symbol. But if there are hundreds of thousands of similar-looking Xiaomi e-cars driving around that cost a tenth of the price, then many will simply go for a Xiaomi e-car.

Xiaomi SU7 is not building a new car but is using the basis of its first model.

It will simply be an SUV model of the SU7.

The power SUV will not have to hide when it comes to performance. Up to 495 kW (674 PS) and 838 Nm of torque with the dual-engine conversion are expected at a price of around 40,000 euros.

Unfortunately, according to current information, Xiaomi's e-cars will not be coming to Germany. They would probably shake up the market here just as they have in China and leave the competition no chance.

Sooo I started this week too. Traditionally, there was a small rebalancing at the start of the year. Nintendo is no longer my biggest single position. In the meantime it actually is $COST (+0,22%) . Likewise $PEP (+3,26%) was reduced somewhat. Nothing new has been added.

If I haven't miscalculated, the last tax-free shares in Nintendo are gone. Everything that is still in the portfolio is from 2012 and 2014. $VOW3 (+1,32%) but that's a small part of just under 8k that I'm leaving behind.

Pepsi was sold at a slight loss so also tax-free. I simply chose too large a position at the time.

A total of around 20k was freed up. Existing positions were increased with the money, namely $SOLB (-0,68%)
$FMC (+0,25%)
$JNJ (+2,12%) and $RACE (-0,5%) another 2k was put into my core $VWRL (-0,91%) was put into my core.

The year 2024 is over in stock market terms and I would also like to review the year.

I started with a portfolio value of just over €53,000.

I knew that a reallocation of around €20,000 was still to come and had therefore set my sights on the target of €100,000.

This was very ambitious, as I naturally didn't know what the year would bring. After all, there were already enough economic and political uncertainties at the start of 2024.

As I only really started investing in 2021 and 2022 was therefore my first full year on the stock market, I made a lot of mistakes at the beginning, had fluctuations in my strategy (once one was in place) and of course also made a few losses.

That's why it was important for me to stay true to my strategy in 2024 and not throw everything overboard again. Because, as I always say, going back and forth empties your pockets.

Some of you may also remember my early days, when I had a lot of savings plans in place, but they weren't particularly high and were constantly being changed. At the beginning of 2024, my portfolio contained a total of 47 individual share positions and 3 ETFs.

My goals for 2024 were therefore

• Stay true to the strategy
• No new stocks in the portfolio, rather clear out
• 100,000€ portfolio value
• 2000€ net dividend
• Investment of €17,000 (without reallocation)

2024 went as follows for me:

January: +4.0%

February: +1.3%

March: +3.0%

April: -0.4%

May: +0.5%

June: +1.7%

July: +1.7%

August: +0.9%

September: +1.0%

October: -0.4%

November: +3.4%

December: -1.7%

TTWROR 2024: +15.8%

Dividend (already in the performance): € 1956.56

Invested: €24,900

Reallocation: €21,700

Thanks to a special payment from my old employer, to which I was still entitled, I was surprisingly able to invest around €5,000 more than I had originally thought.

Did I achieve my goals?

Not all of them.

With the dividends, I'm ~€43 below my target. That's a shame, but it motivates me to step on the gas even more and crack the €2400 net dividend in 2025. That would be €200 net per month, which corresponds to an increase of 22.66%. Again, very ambitious, but you should set yourself ambitious goals.

However, I was already able to break the €100,000 barrier in September. This was of course due to the strong market. I ended the year with just over €111,500. I have remained true to my strategy, but a few new stocks have slipped into the portfolio (and a few out).

The cheering contribution to the €100,000 was here:

$UKW (-0,76%) Greencoat UK Wind (0 to 0 due to dividends)

$SBUX (-0,91%) Starbucks (+10%)

$BIGG (-0,98%) Bigg Digital Group (-95%)

Unfortunately, I sold IBM and Bank of America too early, but I am still satisfied.

What else has happened?

• I bought Bitcoin from TR to estimate the costs. Conclusion: savings plan is always around 3-4% higher. Not worth it, if at all then individual purchases
• Weingut Dürnberg: First dividend received and prospects look reasonable. Depending on how the grape harvest turns out next year, a dividend will be paid again and investments can still be made.
• The conservatory and paving the courtyard are done. The house construction is more or less finished, everything else will take time and are small things, but now I have to start saving again as I only have a small nest egg and my deposit. All other funds have been used up as the costs were twice as high as originally planned.
• Podcast with @Koenigmidas is running rather slowly this year due to personal time constraints. You can find the latest episode here: Link zur Folge (also available on Amazon)

Outlook for 2025

So what are my plans for 2025 in terms of finances?

• Investment of €15,000
• Net dividend of €2,400
• One slightly greater focus on high dividend stocks (e.g. to increase $HTGC (-0,77%) to increase the cash flow a little faster)

What are your targets for 2025? Did you reach your 2024 targets and to what extent did you change your targets after reaching (or not reaching) your 2024 targets?

Feel free to let me know in the comments, as I always find it very exciting to see how ambitiously others set/change their goals.

I wish you a good start to 2025 and every success with all your plans and goals.

As with everything, of course, if you're not interested, feel free to keep scrolling and/or use the block function. 😊

Inflation premium still well utilized.

I am convinced of the company in the long term. Steady growth every year since the IPO and excellent figures.

Good evening,

I have just come across the ETF $IEFM (-0,24%) (actually $CEMR, but unfortunately it is not shown here) (Edge Europe Momentum EUR (Acc)) and it seems very interesting to me as it covers the European market. Over the long term, the ETF has had nice growth and the individual companies such as $SAP (-1,87%) , $ASML (-0,72%) , $NOV (-1,63%) but also $RACE (-0,5%) I like very much. In $SAP (-1,87%) I am also already invested. However, I am currently also investing in other ETFs such as the $VWCE (-0,92%) the $IGLN (-0,55%) , the $DFEN (-2,07%) , the $VHYL (-0,58%) (actually $VGWD but it is not shown here either) and the $QDV5 (-0,66%) . Would it be worthwhile to include the $IEFM (-0,24%) in my savings plan and thus increase the European share in my portfolio? What do you think of the ETF?

$RACE (-0,5%)

Luxury sports car manufacturer Ferrari is a shining stock market favorite in difficult times for car companies and their suppliers: reluctance to buy, tariffs, China, electric and hybrid drives; none of this is slowing down the sports car manufacturer in Maranello, Italy. Customers are also paying the record prices for Ferrari's new F80 supercar. Launched in October, the special runabout with a 1200 hp V6 hybrid engine, limited to 799 units and priced from 3.6 million euros, is already sold out. With extras, customers will pay significantly more for the Gullwing, which is due to be delivered at the end of 2025. The design was not intended to indulge in the nostalgia of the supercar predecessor models, but to be futuristic and disruptive, inspired by aircraft construction, enthuses chief marketer Enrico Galliera.

Ferrari can afford to be avant-garde and production of all models is sold out until 2026. The first electric car is due to be unveiled at the end of 2025. With prices starting at 500,000 euros, it is the most expensive in the world. With an operating profit (Ebita) of more than 2.5 billion euros, which Ferrari is forecasting for this year, the Italians will achieve margins of more than 38 percent and a profit per car of more than 180,000 euros, two more record figures. CEO Benedetto Vigna, who joined from French chip company STMicroelectronics in 2021, also knows what the clientele doesn't want: autonomous driving is not an issue in Maranello. Ferrari's shareholders have enjoyed annual growth in value of around 30 percent since December 2015. The sports car manufacturer from Emilia Romagna, which is also home to rival Lamborghini, is mastering its challenges with aplomb.
