Half a year on the stock market

Hello folks!

I wanted to introduce myself here after reading quite a bit and hear your opinion on the portfolio.

I started the investment on March 12 this year - as I thought, with a solid strategy.

But in fact it was pretty haphazard.

- Investing without knowing the company at least to some extent (has led to stocks like $CRDF (-7,73%) led to)

- FOMO

Then there was the customs scare, and I had to learn to deal with price losses, which was really difficult at the beginning.

Through advertising, I then tried my hand at day trading without a proper strategy and leveraged products. This inevitably led to real losses of almost 200 euros, which I am still annoyed about today.

From July onwards, I pulled the ripcord and started building long-term investments with discipline and patience.

My goal is to invest for the long term without much fluctuation and to realize gains around a core of dividend stocks and ETFs.

Tips and comments are welcome!

I'm sure almost every "investor" has gone through what you've described. It's also good to have this experience, because you only really learn the lesson when you lose real money.
I think now it's just important that you choose a strategy that suits you. From your description, you want to do almost everything at the same time.
Investing in dividends doesn't make sense unless you have a few million. You probably don't want an aggressive portfolio of individual stocks because that would be like a rollercoaster ride. So the only option is to invest in index ETFs. Here I think it's best to simply take an ETF, stop looking at it and let it run. In my opinion, the S&P 500 is the best choice.
Anyhow, I wish you all the best on your future investment journey!
