Red August

Hello my dears, @Klein-Anleger1


after the great performance in the previous months

August was unfortunately not so successful.


But September is going well again so far. And so I am YTD with + 5.04 % better than the

NASDAQ 100 + 0.16% World+ 1.14 %.


Reasons for the underperformance in August are earnings at my large position GFT and negative news at Defi Technologie.

The tariffs weighed on Embraer, and the correction in defense weighed on Kitron and AeroVironment.

Vertex's earnings were also the fly in the ointment.


Negative position: (month of August)

Defi Technology - 25.61%. $DEFI (-0,57%)

Innodata - 23.64%. $INOD (+2,8%)

Tokyo Electron - 20.95%. $8035 (+0,69%)

Vertex. - 16,38% $VRTX (+0,88%)

Aixtron. -15,53%. $AIXA (+1,18%)

Transdigm. -15,13%. $TDG (+0,62%)

Vertiv. -14,72%. $VRT (+1,24%)

Coinbase. -13,01%. $COIN (+9,84%)

AeroVironment. -11,91%. $AVAV (+3,24%)

Kitron. -7,79%. $KIT (+2,74%)

Microsoft. -7,64%. $MSFT (+0,63%)

Embraer. -4,75%. $ERJ (+0%)

Nvidia. -4,33%. $NVDA (+2,31%)

GFT Technology -3.67%. $GFT (-1,53%)


With so many negative positions, I am glad that I got off lightly due to my positive positions.


Plus positions: (month of August)

Gilat Satellite. +22,14%. $GILT (+4,07%)

Applovin. +18,69%. $APP (+5,16%)

NU Holdings +17.88%. $NU (+0,33%)

SoFi. +12,24%. $SOFI (+2,85%)

Alphabet. +8,95%. $GOOGL (+1,8%)

Fortescue. +8,90%. $FSUGY (-1,29%)

The review is always wild. It always feels like I'm worse than the benchmark. Only once do I remember that I was better than the S&P. In March, when the S&P slumped, I even did without the Rewind. Maybe better for business and panicky investors 😂

Performed worse than the S&P again. But if I benchmark myself YTD or 1Y with Getquin, I'm about 6% better off 😅

@SchlaubiSchlumpf Correction: 9.5% better than the S&P YtD. 5.9 YTD versus the S&P. If I had taken the Rewind to heart, I would have doubted my strategy far too often. As you can see, unfounded. Recency bias, if I understood correctly, you would also have to compare currency hedged. And why should you hedge the currency...

I think many people are too influenced by the Rewind.
They immediately panic when they do worse for a month or two. And then constantly change their strategy as a result.

@SchlaubiSchlumpf My benchmark for August is again significantly better than the Rewind. How does this difference arise?

@Redfox77 I think the Rewind takes the index, the backtest the ETF? Then the index would presumably be calculated in dollars, but you would backtest against euros. The result would be two quite different results. But that's my guess. But it would be logical.

The main thing is that all important goals are achieved 👌✌️
What would be your current assessment of DeFi Technologies? Why has it seen so much vola in recent years? At first glance, it seems totally unvalued 🙈

Hello my dear,
Defi was actually so lightly leveraged bitcoin.
But last month there were discrepancies in the number of shares issued.
Hence the underperformance.
Hope it has been resolved slowly and the stock is rising again

@Tenbagger2024 I think your $APP position was a tenbagger for the first time today. Mine reached 8x today.

@Tenbagger2024 yes, but in the course of the day, around 15:40 it was certainly >900%

@SemiGrowth
Yes, that's right. I think it will be my Tenbagger
immagine del profilo
@Tenbagger2024 900% is already Tenbagger

@SemiGrowth
For me at 1000%

@Tenbagger2024 Then you have a $ELFbagger 😅

Hi there, how do you see the Vertex situation right now? Do we see an interesting buying opportunity right now, or are you waiting and seeing?

Incidentally, I have also added to Linde and I am also focusing on EXL again.

The whole pharma sector needs a lot of patience right now. Vertex is a long-term investment for me. I also have a few other stocks in the pharma sector and remain invested. I will probably add to $CAMX.
Having added to Linde is not a bad thing, Linde brings a lot of calm to the portfolio, especially when the market is not going so well. EXL Service is still a little undiscovered for me, I think many investors are perhaps also skeptical as to whether exl AI could do any harm. But they are slowly realizing that EXL integrates AI well into their software.
Incidentally, this is also one of the reasons why $CSU is having such a hard time. Perhaps also interesting for you
immagine del profilo
@Tenbagger2024 Yes, I still have 1/5 of my portfolio in healthcare stocks, so I am aware of the current situation. However, the sector has recovered well in the last two months, which is why I'm less worried that Vertex won't get back on its feet, but whether we'll get cheaper again. It's always a bit difficult to tell whether things are now slowly moving upwards or whether this is just an interim recovery.

Apart from that, of course, it's very interesting what unknown treasures you're unearthing again - I'd never heard of CAMX before.

And your explanation of EXL seems plausible. Many software companies, including Salesforce, are currently under pressure because they are unsure whether AI will accelerate or slow down their business model.

I'm also looking at the blade suppliers quite a lot at the moment

@Tenbagger2024 The blades of what? Do you mean Ki? So Synopsys, ASML or Nvidia?
