Yes indeed too much noordusa always had a lot of interest in it, so I want to $NN (+1,55%) buy and $ASRNL (+1,98%)
add on and add to the euro div etf to spread something outside USA. Also $KPN (-2,54%)
and $WKL (+0,27%) seem interesting to me. I am indeed trying to keep under 10% by own money, but if by growth I get above that, I would be fine with that. (Let your runners run)

Growth indeed I am looking at: $SBUX (+0,07%) and $CMI
$DE (+1,49%)
$HSY (-1,07%)
$TRV (-1,3%)
$APD (-0,23%)
$MCO (+0%)
$ADP (+0,27%)

But also for a little more dividend $MAA (-0,03%)
$TD (+2,5%)
$AFL (-1,39%)
$AVB (-0,34%)

Main I bought when it was very low and interest rates were also very low, so so the risk was much less. Only bought once. I may well stay away from this for a long time and use the dividend for the dividend snowball.

Otherwise quite difficult to stick with these boring and safe stocks, but this is what I like and sleep best with. (Slow but "sure")

Fantastic explanation everything was indeed correct how I think about it and this helps me tremendously to persevere, thank you Paul.

I'm curious what you guys think of this YouTube money tree show

Insurance, often annoying but you often can not avoid it. Means at the same time an inexhaustible source of money for companies that offer it. 🤑

Warren B. is a smart guy and has been investing in insurance companies for a long time, $BRK.B (-0,11%) has taken over a lot of them.

I, too, have only had very good experiences with insurance companies, at least as far as making money is concerned.😁👍

A few months ago I accidentally stumbled across $TRV (-1,3%) mainly because I immediately liked the logo 😁 and I took a closer look at the stock.

What do I like and why do I want to build a position here now🤔.

• Dividend increase ✔️
• Payout Quote✔️
• Shares Rückkäufe✔️

Here are a few details from Q1 23 earnings from the end of April.

• $975 million net income or $4.13 per share
• Capital returned to shareholders $680 million of which $218 million was paid out in dividends and shares repurchased for $462 million.
• The dividend will be increased in June for the 19th consecutive year by 8% to $1 per quarter, which currently represents a dividend of 2.10%. At about 25% payout quite solid.
• A further $5 billion has been authorized for share repurchases.
