Hello lovelies,

first of all: thank you very much for sharing your TR-Ref.links under my post.

I would of course like to share with you how:

How the share gift turned out for me as the referrer and the referrer.

What I will now use the TR Depot for and how it will continue (I had already briefly spoiled that it will be rather exotic there, take it literally😂).

So let's get started:

I received a whopping €30 as a gift in $DIS (+1,1%) which I think is very reasonable for the little effort involved and the manageable minimum deposit. The referrer drawn from the comments @ZPark91 unfortunately "only" landed €10 in $MC (-0,5%) but a gift is a gift, after all.

I probably won't use the TR Depot very actively, but since I had to make 3 purchases anyway, I simply picked out the most spaced-out stocks that my watchlists had to offer and where you can also add a savings plan with TR. Since I was almost fully invested, the amounts at the start were manageable, but savings plans also came in directly from 02.01.26.

I ended up buying €50 each for

$GRAB (-0,13%)

$MNTN (+0,51%)

$AAF (+0,32%)

Since $GRAB (-0,13%) has been on my watchlist for some time anyway, I have opened a small position here and am now expanding it via a savings plan.

The $MNTN (+0,51%) has been added solely due to the investment in Space X. Let's see what happens if there is an IPO.🤷🏼‍♂️

On $AAF (+0,32%) I became aware of it through dear @Epi (what, how does that work? 🤔😂). Under a post by @HenningtonGlobal on the subject of dollar devaluation, he raised the topic of EM and the $AFK (-0,92%) and $ILF (+0,98%) linked. I then did a search for myself $AFK (-0,92%) I filtered for exciting companies that suited me and to be honest $AAF (+0,32%) was almost the only one where I found the chart appealing.🤷🏼‍♂️

What happens next?

The 3 positions are now running monthly in the savings plan until further notice. I'll take a closer look at TR, as long as the fee structure there remains the same, the 3 stocks, plus my donated $DIS (+1,1%) fragments may remain there. For the time being, I will probably not make any major purchases of the stocks that are now there, as the spreads are already very wide in some cases, despite the fact that the domestic stock exchanges are open.

However, I will probably use the share gift campaign to give my wife a portfolio there, so we'll see what other gifts are added.

Today there will be a short post about my last BOTH "real" purchases this year, so stay tuned.😉

Interesting development on the African & Latin American markets, which have now broken through the downward trend and are now trying to break out further upwards. Now it depends on the USD whether it continues to support this. If the DXY falls below the trend line, this would be a very positive sign for EM. A weak dollar lowers the financing costs for EM, drives commodity prices (as can be seen at the moment) and promotes capital inflows. This means that a falling dollar is the most important external catalyst for $AFK (-0,92%) & $ILF (+0,98%).
