Good evening everyone,

The first steps have been taken. I sold the following shares today:

$KMB (+1,82%) A weak underperformer that operates in a business sector with a poor stomach.

I simply don't see any significant growth opportunities here over the next few years. I'd rather put the money into my broadly diversified world ETF or other investments. I got out with just under +10 %.

$PAYX (+2,17%) Out with around 6.5 % and the reasons for the sale are largely the same as for Kimberly-Clark.

$MSTR (+1,77%) After the rapid rise of the last few weeks, this has become too risky for me. I got out after a short holding period with around 28%.

In addition, the correlation with Bitcoin is very strong. And I'd rather hold my own $BTC (+0,52%) . From another perspective, if the value of the Bitcoin held is roughly half the market capitalization and you ignore the high level of debt, I still don't know where the other half of the market capitalization comes from.

The dividend aristocrat Procter & Gamble was actually also on the hit list for today $PG (+3,31%) Ecolab $ECL (+2,32%) and Colgate $CL (+3,18%) . I'm still not 100% sure about these, hence the vote. I would like to take a closer look. I was particularly fascinated by the 12m chart for Colgate. It looks as if a child has drawn a straight line from bottom left to top right. It's similar with Ecolab, where they have made around 45% in twelve months with dividends. (With Colgate around 40 %)

What happens next? The portfolio will be further reduced/concentrated. The BDCs are high on the hit list $ARCC (+1,62%)
$MAIN (+0,69%)
$HTGC (+0,27%)

REITs, on the other hand, can stay, as they currently have strong momentum and could benefit from falling interest rates. The only one I'm not quite sure about yet and would like to take a closer look at fundamentally when the opportunity arises is $STAG (+0,87%)

Hey everyone,

I'm currently facing the challenge of reducing my portfolio from 77 to a maximum of 30 shares in order to get a better overview and focus my strategy. But I'm not sure how best to proceed.

Should I:

Sell the stocks that have done badly as they are obviously not performing well?
Or should I rather sell the ones that have performed best in order to take profits before things go downhill?
Or simply sell the 40 smallest positions? But there are also many interesting stocks in there that might be worth expanding.
Or simply sell everything that is heavily weighted in the MSCI World and thus reduce the cluster risk?

Perhaps there is a better approach? What do you look for when reducing your positions? Diversification, dividend yield, or simply the size of the individual positions in relation to the overall portfolio? I look forward to your opinions and tips!

Thanks in advance!

Incidentally, selling positions that have only made a loss immediately or later (i.e. possibly waiting to see if they rise) is not in itself a loss. See 'loss carryforward'. At least for us small investors.
Every year you can offset losses from previous years against realized gains from the current year tax-free. Up to 20000 euros each year. But only within the same asset class. So shares with shares and ETFs with ETFs, but not one with the other.

This means that if, for example, you make a loss of 30,000 euros when you sell your shares, you can take profits of up to 20,000 euros from other shares tax-free this year and another 10,000 euros the following year.
The nice thing about this is that, according to the current legal situation, this loss carryforward continues from one year to the next. As long as the legal situation does not change, you can only start to offset your current losses against your later gains in 10 years' time.

You could therefore 'save' these shares and hope for better times. However, there is a good chance that it would be better to let the money 'work' somewhere else in the meantime.

However, there is one problem with this. Normally, your bank will do all the clearing automatically (you'll have to ask). But if you use a neobroker, there are differences. Brokers who are 'tax-simple' will also do this for you. Just like banks, they automatically pay your taxes on profits and should also handle loss carryforwards correctly.
However, if your broker is not 'tax-simple' then you should receive paperwork once a year that you have to keep yourself and settle with the tax office. You may also need / want to have a tax advisor for this.

To complicate things further:
With a tax advisor, you can do your tax return up to 3 years later. 'Savings foxes' might come up with the idea of not paying tax on their profits from this year until 3 years from now and hope to make a nice return on their currently untaxed profits for the next 3 years.

I think I will sell the following titles:

These stocks are very heavily represented in the MSCI World. This reduces cluster risk and frees up capital for speculative growth stocks.

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

The REITs remain for the time being as they have positive momentum and will benefit strongly from future interest rate cuts.

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

$MRK (+2,67%)

$PFIZER

$JNJ (+0,03%)

Flying out as I don't understand the industry well enough.

$HIMS (-0,18%) remains, on the other hand.

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

Defensive stocks are out, as no excess return is to be expected here.

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

$AMD (-0,12%) and $INTC (+0,53%) These are my turnaround candidates, as soon as this is completed, they are out

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

The following titles are also on the hit list:

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

What do the more experienced among you say? Are there any titles on my list that are worth keeping? Do you see any gross misjudgments? Do you have any suggestions for improvement?

Thanks in advance.

That doesn't make sense, no. If you are already investing in individual stocks, why are you throwing out the best ones to go into "speculative growth stocks"?
The same applies to the healthcare sector. If you don't understand the established players, in what constellation do you understand those that are difficult to assess anyway? Defensive stocks are out ... because they are defensive? And AMD is not a "turnaround candidate" - you simply bought far too expensively.

All in all, it gives the impression that you don't really understand individual stocks, i.e. which stocks to buy why and how to value the companies in the first place. I also don't know if you're interested in learning, otherwise you should probably just stick to ETFs (I'm very reluctant to recommend that).

But what it shouldn't be, at least, is that you look at individual stocks as something where you pick the ones that tell a nice story in the hope that you're going to beat the market big time.

💭 I'm curious to see what will happen to the "tech-only" people in the future. 👀 Will there be a run on handkerchiefs? 🤧 Should I invest in $KMB (+1,82%) invest in them?

Is someone depressed about not having benefited enough from tech in recent years or what makes you write such a pointless post?

If I'm 50 - 100 % ahead in terms of returns, I don't care about an interim tech drop 😅 You can buy more cheaply.

As long as you have high-quality techs, there's no problem. Profits have risen significantly and therefore valuations are not so brutal that there would be no rebound after a big drop 🤷🏼‍♂️

Servus my dears ✌️☺️

Social Media , curse and blessing at the same time 😁 on the one hand you can exchange experiences and on the other hand there are people who know everything better and are clairvoyants and can tell you 100% with which strategy you will achieve the best return 😂

Since there has been in recent times at getquin again and again propaganda against the dividend strategy😁 and today #dividendsthursday I wanted to summarize my aristocrats and possible candidates for the future where I myself am invested. ☺️👍

If you discover the dividend strategy for yourself then it is important to buy shares that annually increase the dividend or at least not lower, and there are 80% actually only stocks from the USA in question 😁👍

Nice list, therefore @ccfAnd for me personally the decisive reason why I also have a few dividend positions: if I drop dead at 60, I also have nothing from compound interest. Am I aware that it means less return? Yes, definitely, but I have decided that I would rather have something from my portfolio now through dividends. Because with the €1,000 this year, I can freely decide what to do with it. A small vacation, going out for a delicious meal every month or simply reinvesting. The famous financial freedom, not in xx years but a little bit now. Is it mathematically more sensible to do without dividends? Yes, but with every day the probability increases that I will have a fatal accident, for example. So again mathematics. That's why I prefer the great feeling now, when every month my portfolio brings in not only book value. And yes, a sale would also have the same effect, but that doesn't count for me because of the spread. And the largest single position is still the dinosaur All-World from Vanguard.

Volvo - Expectations of proceeds from the IPO of Volvo Cars had to be lowered. Proceeds from the IPO were expected to reach 25 billion kroner, but now the expectations of the subsidiary of Chinese car company Geely ($GRU (-0,66%)) have been downgraded to 20 billion kroner (2 billion euros).

Monte dei Paschi di Siena - Italy's nationalized bank is in crisis, but a planned sale to rival UniCredit ($CRIN (-0,51%)) has fallen through. Mainly due to the different valuations of the parts of MPS up for sale by UniCredit and the Ministry of Finance, no agreement could be reached. UniCredit arrived at a valuation of 1.3 billion euros, while the Ministry of Finance assumed 3.6 to 4.8 billion euros. Now Italy must find another way to save the bank.

Auto industry - In addition to chips, magnesium bottlenecks are now also hitting the German auto industry. Magnesium is needed above all for aluminum alloying. The reason for this supply shortage is the energy-saving measures in China, as a result of which magnesium production has been greatly reduced.

The Chinese market share of 95% of the European magnesium supply is problematic. Some companies only have magnesium stocks until November, so experts are warning of a possible production stop.

eNaira - Nigerian president unveils central bank's digital currency eNeira. Due to delays, the unveiling of the central bank digital currency (CBDC) is almost a month late. The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) now considers itself ready to launch it. Overall, the CBN is working on a global cryptocurrency that will be used as a means of payment in addition to cash. On October 2, the Federal High Court of Nigeria already approved the CBDC as legal tender.

XRP ($XRP-USD (+1,26%)) - Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple, the company behind the cryptocurrency XRP, is sharply critical of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company has been in a legal dispute with the latter for almost a year. Garlinghouse goes on to argue that unequal treatment of cryptocurrencies by the SEC has led to Ethereum growing to become the second largest cryptocurrency after bitcoin. He said, "In the last couple of years, XRP was the second most valuable digital asset. When it became clear that the SEC had given ETH a pass, ETH obviously really exploded and that clarity helped."

So far, there is no end in sight to the said legal battle. XRP is currently in 7th place with a market cap of $51.3 billion.

Bitcoin ($BTC-EUR (+0,52%)) - Other Bitcoin ETFs from Valkyrie, Van Eck & Invesco. Valkyrie's ETF has the acronym BTFD, which alludes to the, especially in the crypto scene, well-known saying "Buy the fucking Dip".

So if, after Venezuela, Nigeria now also introduces a cryptocurrency as an official means of payment, nothing now seems to stand in the way of global success.

Reddit darling 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 ($GS2C (+7,23%)) presented its quarterly figures last day, which were significantly below set expectations. The U.S. video game retailer was able to report a significant increase in sales in the second quarter compared to the previous year, mainly due to the relaxation of the Corona measures.

The price of 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗮 ($SOL-USD (+1,59%)) is up over 440% in the last 14 days. This makes it by far the best performing of the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Even after bitcoin's massive drop over the past day, Solana has managed to post a 28.8% gain. This brings Solana's current market capitalization to $61.36 billion. The enormous growth of the cryptocurrency can mainly be attributed to the fact that very many new developers launch their projects on the Layer 1 blockchain and take advantage of the improved speed and reduced transaction costs compared to the Ethereum blockchain.
