Hello everyone,

As announced, I'm starting my experiment today: Human gives AI money, AI decides, human executes blindly.

For anyone who missed the first post: I have put €1,000 of "play money" into a separate clearing account with Trade Republic. As of today (05.01.2026), Gemini 3 Pro has taken over the wheel. My influence is limited to pressing the buttons.

The general conditions:

Starting capital: €1,000

Start: 05.01.2026

Broker: Trade Republic

AI: Gemini 3 Pro

Goal: Maximum return by the end of 2026 (high risk / high reward).

Strategy: Everything is allowed - active trades, crypto, turnaround bets.

The rule: I don't argue. If the AI says "Buy XY", then I press the button. (Unless it's not technically possible).

The AI's decision (day 1)

I gave the AI the current market data this morning and asked for an allocation. The result is... aggressive. We are going "all in" on tech, space and crypto. No ETFs, no dividend aristocrats, pure belief in growth.

Here is the execution:

DeepDive:

1. Palantir Technologies ($PLTR (+0,78%)) - The geopolitical software platform

• Rationale: Palantir is the operating system for modern warfare and western corporate control.
• Deep Dive: In 2026, the company benefits massively from geopolitical instability. Western governments upgrade their IT systems. In the commercial sector, the Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) scales rapidly as it allows companies to securely apply LLMs to their own data.
• Timing: Use the setback at the start of the year (-5.6 %). Despite the high valuation (P/E ratio > 300), the growth (> 40%) justifies the price.

2. Rocket Lab USA ($RKLB (-1,04%)) - The infrastructure of space

• Rationale: The duopoly in space transportation alongside SpaceX.
• Deep Dive: The catalyst for 2026 is the Neutron rocketwhich is aimed at mega-constellations. In addition, Rocket Lab generates stable revenues through "Space Systems" (satellite construction), which makes it more resilient.
• Timing: We are buying the growth potential of the Neutron rocket before the first launch.

3. ionQ Inc ($IONQ (+0,35%)) - Betting on the next computer revolution

• Rationale: Leading "pure play" in quantum computing (trapped ions technology).
• Deep Dive: Set for 2026 delivery of the Tempo system (AQ 64), which beats conventional supercomputers. IonQ has a strong balance sheet (approx. USD 3.5 bn cash) to cover R&D costs.
• Risk: Extreme volatility, but analysts see doubling potential.

4 SoFi Technologies ($SOFI (-1,02%)) - Profitable disruption in banking

• Rationale: The biggest beneficiary of the interest rate turnaround.
• Deep Dive: SoFi is now GAAP profitable. In 2026, the bank benefits twice from falling interest rates (cheaper refinancing & rising demand for credit).
• Catalyst: Q4 earnings on January 30 could exceed expectations again.

5. solana ($SOL (-1,39%)) - The institutional crypto asset

• Rationale: The fastest blockchain for mass adoption.
• Deep Dive: Solana runs stable and enables transactions in milliseconds (important for Visa partnerships & DePIN).
• Catalyst: The "GENIUS Act" and speculation on a spot ETF are driving institutional interest. We use SOL as a "high-beta" play on the crypto market.

Transparency: The prompt

Just so you know how I talk to AI(prompt is also AI generated) - here is the exact prompt I used to generate this list:

"You are acting as a professional portfolio manager for a real money experiment starting today (05.01.2026).

Your task: Perform a deep market analysis of the current situation (as of January 05, 2026). Use deep research for economic data, sector trends, crypto sentiment and geopolitical news. Create a concrete buy list based on this.

The general conditions (hard constraints):

• Starting capital: Exactly €1,000.
• Diversification: At least 5 positions.
• Broker: Trade Republic.
• Risk management: Define stop-loss prices.

Strategy: Our goal is maximum return (high risk / high reward). Look specifically for aggressive growth opportunities, 'hot topics', turnaround candidates or crypto momentum from early 2026. Stability is secondary."

Conclusion & outlook

The €1,000 has been distributed. Now it's time to wait and see.

The next update will be in 4 weeks (or sooner if a stop loss breaks or the AI wants to panic - I ask it for updates every day).

What do you think about the picks? Are we looking at a total loss with IonQ and crypto, or is the portfolio just right for the current 2026 market?

Disclaimer: The whole thing is purely for entertainment and as an experiment. This is expressly not investment advice and not an invitation to imitate. Please do not blindly burn your money.

At the end of the year, we would like to pause for a moment and look back together on what we have achieved together in 2025.

Thank you for using getquin, giving feedback and supporting us ♥️

🚀 This is what happened at getquin in 2025

This year, we have taken many big and small steps:

• Further international growthespecially in European markets.
• Publication of Networth: an overview of total assets incl. automatic & manual connection of bank accounts, loans and savings accounts
• Expansion of the tracking functions: IRR, ongoing passive costs, new heatmaps, time spans in the position list and much more, among others.
• New data in Rewind
• Significant expansion and optimization of automatic connectionsboth with optimizations on our side and thanks to partners such as FinAPI, Snaptrade and Flanks
• Expansion of our data universe with more fundamental data such as TER or fund replication types
• Release of retirement planning incl. savings goals and new functions
• Further AI integrationse.g. the AI chat and a revision of the AI score in the analysis

In addition, there were many other adjustments and improvements in the background - some visible, others rather quiet, but all with the aim of making getquin more stable, helpful and efficient.

🎄 Notes around the holidays

The getquin team also uses the time between Christmas and the New Year to relax and spend time with family.

Therefore we are currently only available to a limited extent and especially support requests may take a little longer than usual.

An additional note on market data:

On 24.12. to 26.12. and on 31.12. there will be no trading on the L&S Exchange and the Stuttgart Stock Exchange will take place.

Accordingly, on these days no intraday price data available to us on these days.

We wish you a relaxing holiday season, a happy end to the year and a successful start to the new year ✨

Thank you for being part of getquin 🙌

The 3xGTAA Wikifolio from @Epi is becoming increasingly popular here on getquin, and rightly so. Under every post there is someone who asks, somewhat helplessly, what GTAA and this momentum is.

Because the posts on this topic are very scattered in terms of time and space, and momentum investing seems to be more popular than ever, here is a collection of the most important posts on this topic:

For now, these are the most important posts I was able to gather - if I have forgotten any, please let me know! I will also update this collection here when new posts on momentum investing are published.

Please note that, for example, the post on optimizing GTAA is probably no longer up to date and that some things had to be changed for 3xGTAA anyway.

Thanks to @Epi
@SemiGrowth and @Krush82 for continuing to share your ideas and backtests so transparently. You are a real added value for the community! 🫶

Dear GQ Community!

Today it's not about stock presentations, reviews, outlooks and performances. Today it's about all of you.

When I registered here almost exactly a year ago, I had no idea what a great exchange was taking place here. I just wanted to have a site where I could summarize my various portfolios.

Gradually, I started to enjoy not only reading posts, but also trying to become an active participant myself.

Over time, the daily exchange has become a permanent feature. That's not a given for my age. I'm not active on Insta, Tiktok, Facebook or X. I'm only here several times a day. And I would like to thank everyone who regularly interacts with me, praises me, criticizes me or responds in any way at all.

That brings us to wish 1.

I now have almost 2900 followers here. I think that's the most of all. I'm very happy about that.

My posts are read or clicked on by an average of 1500 members of the community. That's ok.

But of those who read the posts, only around 3-5% respond on average. I find that very sad and I know that the other very active members here feel the same way.

So I really wonder what is so difficult or time-consuming about leaving a like in whatever form as a small token of appreciation. Everyone who provides content here is happy about it because it is our free time that we sacrifice to share our ideas with you.

Even more unpleasant is the number of comments on these posts. On average, it is 1 -1.5% of those who look at these posts. I know that many have inhibitions, feel underqualified to write their own posts, but to write briefly on a post, I see it the same way, I see it differently, what do you mean by xy? It's really possible for everyone and would make me and the other top creators here happy.

This community lives from all of us, but only as long as there are enough active participants. And unfortunately I see the great danger that more and more great members are withdrawing. Here I would just like to give the example of Mal @EpsEra and @BamBamInvest whose content I miss very much.

So take heart, take an active part, show your appreciation. Nobody will stone you if something is illogical or not perfectly researched.

I have seen a few new active members here in the last few weeks who have dared to write their first post. Thanks for that, as well as to @Klein-Anleger or to @MrSchnitzel who have presented their first analyses. Keep up the good work!

Wish 2 goes to the people in the background of this platform. @christian and everyone else. You do a great job, but you could also contribute a little more to the functioning of this great community than giving 10 coins for every post of a certain size, which can then only be converted into merch. Why don't you reward the most active users here with free months, upgrades, or create the possibility to convert the coins into premium memberships. I'm not interested in saving €50 or €100 a year, they won't make me poorer or richer at the end of my life. But it's about recognizing the members who keep this community going and ensure that people like me stay here. Because I can also track my deposits elsewhere.

So that's it for this year! I wish everyone a happy new year and am curious to see what the reactions will be, if there are any from one side or the other 😉

$WWD (-0,72%)

Woodward benefits from demand for efficient drive and energy systems

Woodward Inc. (ISIN: US9807451037) develops and produces control systems for applications in the aerospace, energy and industrial sectors. The company earns its money with highly specialized components and systems that are often used long-term in safety-critical applications. Woodward was founded in 1870 and has been traded on the stock exchange since 1946.

On 24.11.2025, the company reported its figures for Q4 2025, with sales growth of 20% compared to the previous year, clearly exceeding expectations. Higher demand and price realization in the Aerospace segment led to sales of USD 995.26 million. Earnings per share also increased significantly by 48% to USD 2.09. The results create a positive starting point for the forecasts for 2026.

Investors assume that Woodward will continue to be one of the best companies in the future, as its business model is based on highly regulated, technologically demanding niches with high barriers to market entry. The increasing demand for more efficient, lower-emission drive and energy systems strengthens the company's long-term growth drivers.

Conclusion: Woodward demonstrates that a focus on technology-driven niche markets enables sustainable sales and profit growth. The strong Q4 2025 with double-digit growth underlines the operational strength and growing demand in the aerospace and industrial segment. Thanks to high market entry barriers, technological leadership and the trend towards more efficient, lower-emission systems, the company is also well positioned for the long term.

@Simpson Perhaps of interest to the star investor.

Dear all, what do you think of Woodward, and would you like more analysis of quality stocks with 15 points?

Feel free to do so in the comments, a 👍 is already a nice reward for the hard-working.

Woodward (WWD) supplies energy conversion and control solutions for the aerospace and industrial sectors. These are used in aircraft, propane, natural gas or diesel engines in forklift trucks, agricultural and mining machinery, trucks, buses, trains and ships. In addition to strong demand in the defense sector, the commercial services business for the aviation industry is a particularly important growth driver with a 40% increase in sales in the last quarter.

The acquisition of the electromechanical actuator business of Safran Electronics & Defense, completed in July, provides the first direct supply contract with Airbus. In addition to elevator trim systems (HSTA), wing spoilers for the Airbus A350 will also be supplied from the end of 2028, increasing the component share per aircraft to USD 550,000. In addition, modern LEAP and GTF engines are increasingly moving into more intensive maintenance phases, where UBS analysts expect annual aftermarket growth of 42% p.a. for narrow-body aircraft until 2030.

With a sales increase of over 16% and a net profit increase of 48% in the 4th quarter, there was already a new pivotal news point. In addition, a new USD 1.8 billion share buyback program will support the company over the next three years. In the new fiscal year 2026, net revenues are expected to be 7% to 9% higher, led by growth of 9% to 15% in the Aerospace segment. Deutsche Bank raised its price target from USD 360 to USD 400 (Buy) on December 22, thus ensuring the continuation of the trend.

A global market leader in energy control solutions

Woodward is a global leader in the design, manufacture and maintenance of power conversion and control solutions for aerospace and industrial equipment.
