📈 My stock market discovery year: focus instead of hype

Over the past few months, I have been thinking intensively about my investment strategy and have come to a clear conclusion: I was too naive and allowed myself to be guided too much by external opinions. Although my returns have been positive, I have come to realize that short-term trends are rarely the most sustainable path.

Today, I have therefore invested my first position in $AMZN (-3,94%) a solid, long-term strong company that is less "exciting" but offers stability and substance.

In addition, this month I will $SOL (-0,84%) worth € 700 this month. This means I have invested a total of €1,700 or put it aside - a structured and deliberate approach that feels right for me at the moment. This means that I have €1700 (70%) of my €2400 per month in savings. So that I can reach the 50.000€ after my training. In other words, in 2 years and 3 months.

$ONDS (+1,65%) and $SSW (+0,22%) will remain in my portfolio (approx. 10% of the portfolio). I have built up these positions out of conviction and hold them independently of short-term market movements.

A big thank you to everyone who has given me constructive feedback and honest assessments. Such impulses help me to broaden my own perspective and grow as an investor. 🙏

@Epi (even if I often saw it as an attack, but you were right)

Remember: I never attack anyone personally. When I attack you, it's the aspects of your personality that stand in the way of sustainable (stock market) success: Prejudices, wishful thinking, cognitive distortions, misconceptions - and whatever the beasts are called. That's what I'm after ;-)

@Epi I honestly didn't understand that at the beginning. You must be a few stock market years older than me 😂
But thank you for your neutral criticism.

@Wiktor_06 I've certainly been in the stock market business a little longer. You can't imagine what I tried out and went through until I finally got a systematic approach and movement in my portfolio. At your age, I wasn't as far along as you are. So stick with it and learn! And never let anyone put you out of business! Then you'll be much further ahead in 10 years' time.

@Epi Thank you for the motivating words. I hope that in future I can keep my fingers still and not make any more impulse purchases.

@Wiktor_06 As I said, find a strategy that suits you. If impulse buying gives you a sense of self-efficacy and prevents you from getting bored, then it's psychologically better to give it some space and reserve 10-15% of your portfolio for it rather than doing without it altogether (that would be self-denial). Just as you will find it difficult to reconcile a 70% savings rate and a life worth living in the long term. Allocating 10-15% of your income to impulse purchases and spontaneous invitations from a few friends will significantly stabilize the other important financial areas.

@Epi likes to put your finger where it hurts 😉 But that's exactly what keeps you going ☺️ glad you were able to find a way for yourself

Wiktor_06@Wiktor_06

@lawinvest Thank you very much. Yes, you are right. Someone who tells you your mistakes really shows strength.

•

Epi@Epi

@Wiktor_06 It is easy to point out the mistakes of others. The stronger person is the one who admits their own mistakes and overcomes them.

Epi@Epi

@lawinvest Do you still feel the pain of my question that you left unanswered? ;-)

•

Wiktor_06@Wiktor_06

@Epi Thank you for your praise. I honestly tell you that I can't keep my hands off a bit of gambles. But I really just want my structure to be a bit more "boring" than chasing the hype stocks every time.

Sina@lawinvest

@Epi the pain shows in the rebuilding of the depot ;)

Epi@Epi

@Wiktor_06 The important thing is to find a strategy that suits your goals and your character. I also have a little gambler in me (see NatGas-Zock). I tried 100% rule-based investing, but it didn't work. So I have 10-15% of my total portfolio in a trading portfolio. I can have a bit of fun there - and I leave the rule-based portfolios alone. These things are individual and everyone has to find their own optimum. It takes time and money - but in the end you not only have a larger portfolio, but also the certainty that you won't reduce it again at a weak moment.

@Wiktor_06 Another insider tip: instead of chasing the hypes, chase the anti-hypes! Buy what investors hate the most and what seems the most boring. The difference to "no longer quite so hated" alone is a dream return.

Good luck

If you call $ONDS $SSW and $SOL a sustainable and long-term investment strategy, you really haven't learned anything 😕

••

Wiktor_06@Wiktor_06

@opportunity_seeker_742 Thank you, I see that as a point of criticism. But to be honest, I'm just a bit of a gambler. I'm young and just want to try things out.
I just want to be a bit more defensive with my investments and, as I said, the positions indicated are more conviction. I see Solana above the current €161 in the long term. But everyone as they see fit meint🙋‍♂️
