Postos
17For some time now $9984 (+0%) on my watchlist for several reasons:
For once, I managed the first strike with good market timing. The amount should grow over time via savings plans. There is a lot to gain for the company in the next few years 💯
I am unsure about following up on $8058 (+0,62%)which I also consider to be very fairly valued...
The Japanese car manufacturers Honda $7267 (-3,48%) and Nissan $7201 (-4,38%) are considering a merger, according to media reports.
The joint production capacities, sales channels and development departments could thus strengthen their own market position in the battle against Chinese manufacturers.
It is also possible that Mitsubishi $8058 (+0,62%) may also become part of the new alliance.
No exact deal has yet been made.
First day of vacation, 32°C and a 30km walk towards Stuttgart. I was able to find over 35 stock companies along the route.
Highlight, $BTC (+0,12%) Bitcoin logo on the wheel arch of the Jeep.

$VOLV B (-12,51%)
$TSLA (-3,59%)
$1211 (-0,15%)
$P911 (+0,06%)
$F (-6,67%)
$8058 (+0,62%) I was able to discover numerous other companies that were new to me.
New for me was $6971 (+0%) Kyocera, a manufacturer of electronic devices from Japan and $WLK (-8,33%) Westlake Chemical from the USA.
From Germany there were also $SIX2 (-5,29%) Sixt $DTE (+0,36%) Telekom $TUI1 (-1,86%) Tui $AGCO (+0%) (Fendt) $256940 Eberspächer (supplier to the automotive industry) $SIE (-7,02%) Siemens $EBK (-1,7%) ENBW $DHL (-4,07%) Post and $ALV (-0,37%) in the process.

📈 Furious start to 2024 for the $XDJP 🇯🇵
The Nikkei 225 index rose by 13.5% in the first seven trading weeks of the current year and things are also looking very good for Japanese quality stocks in the near future (e.g. $6758 (+0%)
$8058 (+0,62%)
$9434 (-1,1%) ) are looking very good.
Hier die ZusammenfassungWhy Japanese shares are particularly interesting at the moment
A number of positive factors such as robust GDP growth and investments in the semiconductor industry have already supported the index in the first two months. In addition, the hype surrounding artificial intelligence is also boosting the market there, while improved corporate governance and share buybacks are strengthening investor confidence. (1)
Despite a temporary dip in the Japanese economy in the second half of 2023, GDP growth should continue to surprise on the upside. More on this from paragraph 3 of the Artikels.
How can you participate now?
The SG Japan Quality Income Index (Fig. 1) would be one way to participate specifically in the performance of Japanese quality companies. It comprises 60 companies that have been selected on the basis of good financial ratios and their dividend strength, among other factors.
If Japanese dividend stocks were not perfect for reducing the US overrepresentation in the portfolio (as @PowerWordChill
it would do🌚) ?

Hi community,
I've been active here for just about a month, and started my investing journey on January.
Since I'm quite new to the investing world, I would like to have some feedback on my portfolio, and discuss my strategy and future plans too.
I read and learn a lot from you, especially the evergreens :)
I think it'll be a little bit of a read, but I'm writing this also as a reminder to my future self, in case I lose focus somewhere down the line :)
So, I'll start from me, my goals, strategy and then go into the reasoning behind the positions and then into plans.
About me
Almost 28, F, software developer. Own a small apartment bought and renovated in 2020-2021 with really really good mortgage rate and tax reimbursements in an city with a rich university presence .
This I bought and renovated as future asset (lots of young people needing apartments here to go to uni) and to not pay so much more in rent, as my mortgage payment is ~1/3 of a rent in a mostly shitty apartment for a single renter.
In the past 5 months I've been reading a lot on finance and markets as well as learning to screen stocks by analysing fundamentals, reading SEC's, white-papers and operational resumes of the companies I do research on and want to watchlist/buy.
Goals
My goals are really simple:
Strategy
As per goals, investment term is long term, mostly buy/hold.
To reach my goals, I want to follow a mixed strategy of value, growth and dividends. Yes, I know, young and dividends. But.
To reach my goals dividends are needed: for this year I'll be able to provide a good savings rate of 1500-2200 euros every 3 months in 2024, then it'll largely depend on how things go for 2025-2026. I'll have some known expenses and possibly some still uncertain, a couple of which could be big, so I need to preserve my cash allocation and saving rates could stop.
Enough dividends with a null/reduced saving rate can be used for some buying power or used for covering interest of loan/margin when free cash flow is unavailable or reduced, but rates need to go down for good before I can consider this.
Then again, the dividend compound effect will enable me to reach and sustain all my three goals eventually, but only if paired with value and growth options.
Positions and future possibile positions
Onto the portfolio I have built so far! Currently US heavy, will always be US heavy, but in the last section I have plans for that, you'll see.
The allocation is 60/40 ETF/Shares with +-10 tolerance accounted for.
ETF allocations:
Shares allocations go more by sector, region and value/growth/dividend ratio.
I'm actually investing a bit anti cyclically in Utilities ($NEE (+0,71%) , $ENEL (+2,76%) , $BEPC ), Solar/Solar related ($NEE (+0,71%)
$ENEL (+2,76%)
$BEPC
$NXT
$SHLS ) and Energy ( $NXE (-4,37%) ) and ready to buy some dips in my current positions, or grow them if they please me with their performance.
Won't consider Oil and Mainstream by choice, except maybe for $PBR (-4,15%) or $BIPC due to dividend.
$NXT and $SHLS are soaring right now, and are a really good combo of solid and innovation. (Cannot see the daily here on getquin tho)
$BEPC results compared to sector are solid, company strategy is very good, a little bit hated by market it seems. The same reasoning applies to $NEE (+0,71%) , plus manatees! $ENEL (+2,76%) also but without manatees and without good management (it's Italy after all), but still solid with a great moat and good div.
$NXE (-4,37%) is super long term, I've read all the reports, primary concern is debt until building ops facilities is done and op can start for real. They are sitting on uranium next big thing and have good connection with the territory and authorities.
$HAUTO (-3,49%) is actually filling the role of the best overall VGD stock, we will see after the div in March.
$BBVA (-0,68%) really good bank and financial, my entry point in the financial sector at good value and also global.
$AMZN (-6,32%)
$META (-7,03%) and $NOVO B (-2,25%) can speak for themselves as megacaps
Plans and ideas
So, after boring you for so long, the actual question/discussion section of this rant.
ETFs
Here I'm considering a possible 5% satellite, in the shape of Asia (ex-China)/Japan. I'll probably add one of $XMUJ (-7,59%) , $DXJ (-8,14%) or $V3PL (+0%) , all distributing.
I like $DXJ (-8,14%) maybe the most for its holdings but is sampled, $XMUJ (-7,59%) good ter, phisycal full also, holdings a bit worse than $DXJ (-8,14%) .
$V3PL (+0%) seems to perform worse, but is more pan Asia, although not much value brought to the portfolio compared to the other two aside from region allocation.
Shares
In the short term, I want to add position for the REIT sector, as they are trading at a discount right now, and probably will shake off the priced in May FED cut that will in my opinion not happen (June I think more likely).
My watchlist consists of:
If you know some interesting ones or want to share some thoughts on some of those, it would help. Also, I have no idea of the possible allocations and will need to discuss it most likely.
Other things I'll closely watch to open a position will be:
First of all, thanks to you, who made it this far. And read all of this shit.
Every other suggestion is more than welcome of course, and I'd love to discuss further in the comments if you want to drop by!
Thanks :)
I sold a few shares of my AMD derivatives after a gain of almost 50% and invested them in $8058 (+0,62%) Mitsubishi (thus 2nd Japanese share).
Which dividend-free stocks do you recommend? I would like to get another derivative. I have Meta and AMD as derivatives (5 leverage).
Warren Buffett was "deeply irritated" by opportunity in Japan
Last week it became known that star investor Warren Buffett's investment holding company Berkshire Hathaway had raised fresh money in the form of yen by issuing bonds.
Now Warren Buffett has confirmed that Berkshire Hathaway has increased its stake in the five Japanese trading companies Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Itochu, Marubeni and Sumitomo to 7.4% each and is considering further investments in Japan.
Buffett is currently in Tokyo for talks and gave an extensive interview to U.S. financial broadcaster CNBC on Wednesday. In the interview, Buffett also explained why he originally joined the Japanese trading houses in August 2020.
"I was deeply irritated by the fact that we were able to buy into these companies," Buffett said. The stocks had "an earnings yield of maybe 14% or something like that, but the dividends would go up."
The earnings yield is the inverse of the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio, which is a more common metric. A high earnings yield corresponds to a low P/E ratio and vice versa. An earnings yield of 14%, as mentioned by Buffett, corresponds to a P/E ratio of about 7. So Buffett was mainly surprised by the fact that the shares of Japanese trading houses could be had so cheaply. Despite interim price gains, the shares are also currently trading at very favorable fundamental valuations.
Buffett emphasized in the interview that these were great companies "that I generally understood what they were doing." He also said the Japanese trading houses were comparable to Berkshire in that they owned many different holdings. "And they were sold at what I think was a ridiculous price, especially compared to the prevailing interest rates at the time."
The Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Itochu, Marubeni and Sumitomo groups are large trading houses that deal in raw materials, intermediate products, finished goods and services, among other things. In Japan, these corporations are also known as Sōgō Shōsha.

$8053 (-3,22%)
Good day,
About a month ago, right after my 18th birthday, I opened an account with Scable Capital and invested 400€ in shares of companies that I personally use, such as. $AMZN (-6,32%) , $KO (+0,82%) , $DPW (-4,07%) , $8058 (+0,62%) and $COK (+2,87%) . Unfortunately I also have some small positions like $LOCK (-6,6%) and $BLOK of which I am not really convinced in retrospect. It was rather a spontaneous decision that I now regret a bit. Since I am still in training, I can invest 200€-300€ per month. My real question now is whether it makes sense to sell everything and instead invest in a World-ETF like $XDWD (-3,88%) in order to get an idea of the market and to gain experience. Alternatively, I could also all titles except $AMZN (-6,32%) , $KO (+0,82%) and $DPW (-4,07%) and invest the remaining amount in the World-ETF and save it in the future.
Thanks in advance!
