NVIDIA is investing $1 billion in Nokia, taking a ~2.9% stake. Together they are building AI-driven RAN and 6G networks, combining the power of NVIDIA's GPU supercomputers with Nokia's telecom infrastructure. This partnership could fundamentally change the way mobile networks are managed: self-learning networks that optimize data traffic, energy consumption and latency in real time.

For investors, this means that Nokia, once seen as a "classic telco supplier," will now be at the center of the AI infrastructure revolution. Although the revenue impact will not be seen until 2026, the partnership with the world's most powerful AI company could spark a new growth cycle. NVIDIA, meanwhile, is expanding its ecosystem of supercomputers in the U.S., further strengthening its position as the hub of the AI era. The market already reacted +20% to the news, but this could be only the beginning of a structural revaluation of the global telecom AI chain. $NVDA (-1,52%)

Good morning,

Today I actually bought the first tranche of the following shares:

Intel - Arm Holding - Nokia - Pfizer

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$INTC (+0,81%) Nobody believes me, but I actually wanted to buy Intel last week before the significant rise, after the rise I speculated on a setback, which didn't turn out to be so strong and today I simply bought.

Why Intel? What distinguishes Intel from AMD and NVIDIA?

Intel is the only one that develops and also produces itself. Of course, this also entails risks, but it is also the case that Intel is the only non $MU (-2,15%) is the only non-Asian chip manufacturer that has the latest ASML machines. Is that not one of the reasons why even Nvidia is now investing in Intel... By the way, I actually bought Micron today, simply to increase the size of the position.

In my opinion, anyone investing in Intel today should have a lot of patience. As you know, I don't have much of that, so maybe this will be my gym.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$ARM (-2,11%) Arm develops the Arm architecture for processors, which are particularly efficient and do not require cooling, which is why you find them as standard in smartphones, tablets and other devices, and sells the licenses to Qualcomm, Apple, Samsung and Nvidia, for example.

They are involved in almost all smartphone chips, earning money from the license without having to bear any production costs themselves.

The risks are a very high valuation, in which a lot of growth is already priced in. Strong dependence on the smartphone market, competitors could contest market shares and the company is very dependent on the Asian market.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$NOKIA (-0,95%) is quite well positioned and a leader in 5G network technology. For example, it controls over 29% of the 5G market outside China and is already in the lead in 6G... The business model is quite cyclical, investment intensive and the technological change is very fast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

$PFE (-2,03%) has made many strategic acquisitions in recent years. The acquisitions of Seagen and currently Metsera, among others, show that Pfizer is making targeted investments in growing and lucrative therapeutic areas. Whether the pipeline will be successful remains to be seen and is probably one of the greater risks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have mentioned some of the risks, there are probably countless. The stocks fit into my portfolio quite well, as I mainly invest in boring ETFs and the weighting of these individual stocks is too low to significantly jeopardize my basic investment. If things go really badly, the money is gone, if things go reasonably badly, I have dividend stocks 🤪

$DUOL continues to plummet after the really good quarterly figures.

More and more critical voices and fears are coming to light that the company may be completely or largely replaced by already very advanced and sophisticated AI models.

Whether #duolingo the next $NOKIA (-0,95%) or $BB (-0,86%) of the 21st century?

What are your opinions? I actually couldn't find any headlines for today's #dip headlines for today. Does anyone know what!

After my first post on humanoid robots received a lot of positive feedback, I went into more detail. I have subsequently added my favorites in each sector.

Driver for robotics in e-commerce & logistics, invests in humanoid robotics applications

I can imagine that we could still have a few red days ahead of us, but $NOKIA (-0,95%) I have now added a few more. Before the chaos, things were on the up for a year, the order situation seems good and a few days ago Intel brought in a new CEO who wants to do even more in the data center sector. It all sounds exciting to me. The correction was less severe than for other stocks, but perhaps that's another point in the company's favor in these times.

Of Topic - Smartphone decision aid

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know of any other place where there are as many people with an affinity for software and technology as in this forum. I would therefore like to ask you for advice on my first major purchase in 2024, namely a new Android smartphone. Indirectly, the whole thing even has to do with finances, because on the one hand the purchase will reduce my savings rate for December and on the other hand a smart purchase can represent an "investment" 🧐

In order to be able to make a specific recommendation, I will now describe my usage behavior:

I don't have WiFi at home. In the beginning, I had a little box where you could put the SIM card in and Wi-Fi came out. But now I prefer to have two cell phones, one is my iPhone, which I use for a lot of things but not everything, and the other is the Android cell phone I'm looking for, which I now want to replace and call a WLAN donor.

Why Android?

With the software versions I know, Android has the advantage that you can switch on the hotspot permanently and it remains active even when no devices are connected. I also have apps that are only available for the iPhone and only for Android.

Budget:

I'm aiming for around €200 if it makes sense, it could also be €250 🤭

Main tasks WLAN dispenser:

Hotspot, e-reader, telephone

It would be important to me:

The WLAN dispenser should have a powerful battery, as it supplies all my devices with WLAN 24/7.

The WLAN dispenser should have a relatively large and eye-friendly display, as I use it a lot for reading, but still fit in my handbag. (Smartphones of 6-7 inches are probably ideal here)

It would be great if the WLAN dispenser costs little, has a minimalist design, looks and feels good, doesn't have any huge structures or protruding lenses on the back and has advantageous software.

So am I looking for the jack of all trades and cheap to boot?

No, you can make compromises in many areas, for example, the quality of the camera/s is irrelevant, the speed and manufacturer of the chip are irrelevant, NFC is not needed, the charging speed is unimportant and all the other popular features are not needed either.

Thanks if you've read this far and now I'm looking forward to one or two smartphone recommendations.

Additional question:

I have already noticed that certain apps and subscriptions have different prices between Germany and Austria. It should be even cheaper with countries like Poland, Turkey or Brazil...

The new smartphone would be the chance to set up everything with the cheapest country... Which countries would be a good choice for getting apps and subscriptions at a good price and what should I bear in mind?

Thanks again
