Goldman raises $ALV (-0,49%) to 'Buy' - target raised to 450 euros 👍

Since my $SAP (+1,15%) - Distaster, I have always been concerned with the question of how to deal with solid shares that have done well and how to secure profits if you actually believe in the company and therefore do not sell and pursue a buy and hold strategy.

I was at +120% with SAP and then didn't sell at 280 because it was doing so well. After the setback to €240, I thought, I won't sell now either, it will go up again. And now we are at 140 euros :-(

What do you do with stocks that have done well and that you actually believe in and want to keep? For example, I have $ALV (-0,49%) + 90% and I don't want to sell it because it's a solid share. But who knows, maybe something unforeseen will happen and then the profit will be gone. For example $NOVO B (-1,57%) many people probably missed the exit and are now at 25% of the peak price.

Do you have any ideas? I don't have the time to check and evaluate every report on every share every day, or I would certainly make the wrong decision. Simply selling via S/L can of course also mean selling in the event of a short-term fall, which may even be made up for intraday. And of course the question of where to set the S/L?

Thank you very much for your help!

The 2026 dividend season is stronger than expected. Despite economic uncertainties, payouts remain at a high level, many companies are robust and confirm the role of dividends as a key driver of returns.

Around 25 companies in the DAX are expected to increase their dividends. Overall, the level remains attractive, even if the momentum varies from sector to sector and not all sectors are benefiting equally.

The shift within the sectors is particularly striking. While traditional dividend payers from the automotive industry such as$MBG (-0,68%)
$VOW (-1,5%) or $BMW (-1,59%) are paying weaker dividends, other sectors are gaining in importance:

Insurance companies and financial stocks in particular are moving more into focus. Companies such as $ALV (-0,49%) or the $DBK (-2,79%) are among the beneficiaries of this development and could play an increasingly important role for dividend investors. At the same time, there are also individual cases such as$ENR (+5,03%) which are paying dividends again after a break.

For investors, this means that selecting the right sectors is becoming more important than the dividend yield alone.

What a wild ride that was, please ?!? Even the poor kangaroo gets sick...

...and personally don't really believe that the current situation is the end of "Pinky and the Brain"...

... "Pinky" still has to live up to the bets of all his boddies, has his back to the wall domestically with regard to the mid-terms and "the Brain" still has no interest in the end, after all, he still wants to permanently occupy at least southern Lebanon (incorporate the country) and therefore continues to escalate...

...my conclusion from this is that "Pinky" will launch a limited ground offensive over Easter or shortly afterwards in order to sell it strategically at home or to be able to announce something successful at all, the outcome of which is still completely open, while "the Brain" is already forging plans on how he can continue to pursue his goals even after a possible US exit - the end is open - regardless of the fact that the energy issue will still not be resolved after the end 🤷🏻‍♂️

But let's get back to March...

...even though the month was difficult, it ended with a small gain on the bottom line or even just below the last ATH...

...shows me, conversely, that my consistent strategy and steady fingers have been able to survive such market phases relatively well so far 💪🏻

In terms of the year as a whole, the first quarter has also been relatively successful for the circumstances and when I think about the fact that the overall portfolio is just ~1.5-2% below my chosen September milestone, the whole thing reassures me immensely or rather... is going better than forecast 🫠

In the long term, of course, everything is still on target and so not only are the nights still calm and cozy, but I also know that the dividends will continue despite everything, which brings us back to the next topic...

》Dividends《

This month there were €116.68 net dividends, which means an increase of 164.41% YOY 💪🏻

YoC (TTM) is ~6% and thus slightly below the target range, although the good months are yet to come...

Furthermore, all contracts for the continuation of my training were signed and sealed this month, which was also pleasing and comes with a small salary increase 😊

That's all from me for now and I wish us all a successful April

Hello to the GQ community ✌️

My first post after being kicked about 4 weeks ago - who would have thought that solidarity towards one of the members (@Klein-Anleger ) would lead to a ban so quickly? But the goodwill of getquin was so BIG (and above all "on trial") that they graciously let me back into the holy grail of the GQ community 😉

So guys, learn from my mistakes: the goodwill here is not an Infinite Money glitch ! Save your solidarity, reduce your commitment to other members to zero and the most important thing 🚨: No surreptitious advertising for alternative financial platforms like "Cisdord" 😉😂.

Sorry, the side blow after 4 weeks of abstinence had to be 🤝

so joking aside...

⏳The first three months of 2026 have passed. Time for a brief interim summary of the current status of my reconstruction.

Before I started rebuilding the portfolio, I naturally thought about what strategy I wanted to pursue in the coming months and years - especially with regard to stock selection and weighting.

To be honest, my original plan was to keep a portfolio with a maximum of 20 shares. In the course of time, however, I realized that it will probably not stay at 20 stocks, but that the number is more likely to increase to around 30 positions (+/-).

♟️Mein Focus & my strategy:

In a nutshell: The clear focus is on growth 🚀. Dividends tend to play a subordinate role. Here I show you my shopping list and what my portfolio should look like in the future. The stocks I have already bought are marked with a green tick and without a tick, I'm still waiting ⏳

What should the sector/country weighting look like?

Let's start with the "desired"

🌍country weighting:

🇺🇸🇨🇦USA ~60%

🇪🇺EUROPA ~20%

🇯🇵JAPAN/ASIA ~15%

Rest ~5%

Sector weighting should be as follows:

💻TECHNOLOGY: ~30-35%

💸FINANCE: ~ 20-25%

HEALTHCARE: ~ 10-15%

🏭INDUSTRY: ~ 10-15%

REST: ~ 5-10%

So, what has happened since the beginning of the year?

Of course there were no sales 😬

There have been a few purchases where I have a finger in the pie.

Due to the global political situation - especially because of this 🍊 in the White House, whose tweets cause more tsunamis 🌊than real natural disasters - and the current drawdown in the S&P 500 (which is very convenient for me right now and gives me a lot of pleasure 🤩), I am accordingly under water💦🫧 with some of my purchases so far.

but hey, we're investing for the long term, aren't we? So easy going, all relaxed 🥱 I will most likely not make any more purchases in the next few days or weeks, park my cash position elsewhere or put it in overnight money and wait and see which zone the market settles in or wait for it to stabilize.

What do you have on your watchlist?

Are you currently waiting or how are you dealing with the current situation?

Ok, that's enough now 😂

that's it from me for now ✌️

your stock master

Today I treated myself to a little shopping trip.

My main aim was to strengthen my core. To do this, I first added $ALV (-0,49%) into the depot.

I continued with increases in $DHL (-2,47%) and $TDIV (+0,12%) .

I also built up and expanded satellite positions.

At first I was $CRM (-4,12%) was a bit of a laugh. When I see how far we are at the beginning of implementing $CRM (-4,12%) in our company (Fortune 500), I am not worried about the business model. I'm happy to take advantage of what I see as an exaggerated sell-off after some AI headlines.

The expansion of the position at $INTU (-3,04%) . The nice thing is that both pay dividends.

Last but not least, there was some risk and Fomo. I have been looking at the wikifolio of our dear @Epi for a long time, and today I managed to get into $DE000LS9U6W1.

At $PNG (-4,91%) I have to admit that I had FOMO here. I've been following the news for a while and certainly got in far too late. But the position is correspondingly small and still fits in with the defense weighting in my portfolio.

All in all, I feel very comfortable with my decisions. Core significantly strengthened, dividends increased, some satellites added in the growth area and small zooms.

What do you think of my new additions and position increases?

Edit: my annual dividend has increased by a nice 10% to just under € 2350 gross.

Hey everyone, which stocks are currently on your watchlist? I'll make a start:

$ADP (-1,72%)

$ALV (-0,49%)

$BELA (-1,16%)

$AJG (-0,6%)

$CAMX (-2,18%)

$7013 (-0,38%)

$BLK (-0,26%)

...of course there have been better prices in the last few days, but in the long term no one will crow about it and so it will continue to be expanded to the first target 🦘

I took advantage of the dip this morning and bought my first Allianz shares. There have already been a few people who have also bought today and said that the prices are still too high. That may be true, but when do you know whether the price will fall further or not? But what I do know for this year is that a 5% dividend doesn't sound bad.
