The downward trend has not yet been broken and I do not see a clear bottom. However, it should be enough for the first tranche and the savings plan, which is why I got in now.

Why Lotus?

The fundamentals are strong and run like clockwork. In the short term, companies like $MDLZ (-0,32%) Mondelez or $HSY (+1,84%) Hershey probably offer better returns. In the long term, however, I see Lotus as a "better" value. I also want to fish my individual stock positions more outside the US pond.

$LOTB (-1,98%) almost -35% since mid-October 24 🤑

Hello everyone,

Under "Portfolio", the dividend received $MDLZ (-0,32%) the dividend received is no longer displayed. Mondelez is also no longer listed in the dividend calendar, although I hold a large position in it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Now everything has to be scraped together again in terms of money now only savings plans continue to run this month nothing more will be bought😀

Hello everyone,

Here is my January Rewind for 2025.

My time-weighted return was 5.75%, which was a good bit better than the S&P 500, but also a good bit worse than the DAX. I would never have expected this at the beginning of the month, and it was surprising that the DAX took off like this.

According to Getquin, I was therefore better than 51% of users.

I received 5 dividends.

From Renasant $RNST (+2,28%)

From Mondelez $MDLZ (-0,32%)

From Pepsico $PEP (+0%)

From Agree Realty $ADC (+1,05%)

And from JPMorgan $JPM (+0,77%)

I myself am absolutely satisfied with my performance, with 5.75% a more than successful start to the year. Especially when you consider that the average return on a global ETF is around 8 or 9% a year.

How did your January go?

A recent W+ article by the "Welt" editorial team presents supposedly lucrative dividend stocks.

Judge for yourself and feel free to comment with your opinions.

Nevertheless, I am very sad about the developments in this forum. I would like to see more love, respect and solidarity. Instead this forum is becoming more and more a stage for self-promotion, it's just generally going in a nasty, individualistic, envious and selfish direction and so much hatefule interactions.

I'm so sad about it 🥺 and miss the good old days here.

As soon as the $BATS (+1,5%) dividend arrives I'll grab a bunch of flowers and a piece of cake with cream to comfort myself 🥹

Love love love
