Link to the first post https://getqu.in/cbIOkg/

I will also link all parts in the first post and pin the first post in my profile.

This part of the post is about the following 2 topics

• Trading versus Buy&Hold
• What are the requirements for trading

To Buy&Hold I don't need to explain much more here 😉 It's a well-known and proven method, particularly suitable for more passive investors or those who don't want to deal with the stock market on an ongoing basis. Start with a savings plan - "time in the market" pays off!

When trading the situation is somewhat different. Active trading is required here. "Timing the market" is the motto. With the appropriate knowledge, a careful approach, good risk management and, above all, discipline, it is far more than just "gambling" or "gambling".

When I analyze my losing trades, the cause is almost always a lack of discipline, such as impatience or poor risk management. Sounds simple, but it's not... "The spirit was willing, the flesh was weak" 🤪🤷‍♂️

Conclusion:

• B&H and trading are not mutually exclusive, but can be combined well and sensibly. Part of my trading income, for example, flows into my B&H share on an ongoing basis.

• Trading means being responsible inform - plan trade - execute trade!

• Without a genuine interest in active trading and having fun trading, this will not work. If you just follow tips or influencers, you will almost certainly end up with the ominous 80% who only lose money (if only because the timing is no longer right).

The last two points in the conclusion are a good transition to the topic "Prerequisites for trading". In my view, in addition to the points already mentioned, the following aspects are essential in order to be sustainably profitable:

• Money management
• A trading tool
• Knowledge of chart analysis "a fool with a tool is still a fool"
• Discipline

Money management:

On the subject of money management, I would like to refer you to one of my older posts. It is essentially about determining the capital investment and the position size based on the maximum acceptable loss.

A proven guideline in trading is: Never risk more than 0.5% to max. 1% of your available capital per trade. You can find details on this in the following post https://getqu.in/tzhXqc/

Trading Tool:

Since trading is all about "timing the market", there is no getting around a trading tool. There are several tools on the market, and almost all of them offer a free version to get you started. The free versions are usually not sufficient for professional trading, as important indicators and data are missing. However, they are perfectly adequate for starting out and testing a little.

Tip: Use the free trial months of the subscription models to decide for yourself whether and which paid subscriptions are of interest to you.

I use TradingView https://www.tradingview.com and I'm really happy with it. In addition to the chart tool, there are lots of functions such as share screeners, market information, watchlists, price alerts, calendars for events such as earnings and dividends and a news feed. There is also a community, but I haven't used it yet.

Tip for beginners: TradingView also offers a demo account (paper trading), where you can safely start trading and test your strategies without using real money. Paper Trading — main functionality — TradingView

If you are interested in TradingView, I can offer you a referral link (just ask for it in the comments - I don't want to actively post the link here). Then we both get 15$ credited to our fees. PS: I am not a Finfluencer and have nothing else to do with TradingView. It is not a source of income nor the goal of these posts - it would just be the usual friend-referral.

Knowledge of chart analysis:

Well, as written above, "a fool with a tool is still a fool". Of course, you can't do it without learning and dealing with the subject. The trading tools are all very helpful, but without understanding what you are doing with them and how to use the charts, indicators or oscillators, it won't work. Fortunately, today there are lots of tutorials on YouTube, communities etc. where you can acquire knowledge free of charge.

There will be more on chart analysis in the last part of the articles when it comes to my trading setup.

Discipline:

This last point is the most important; in combination with the 3 previous points, discipline is the key to success. Even long-time traders are subject to FOMO with accompanying ill-considered or not properly analyzed trades. This often ends the way it must... "Know yourself and your trading behavior!"

Please note, this article only reflects my experience. There are many different approaches to trading - there is no right or wrong. In the end, everyone has to find a setup that suits them.

Actually, I wanted to cover the first three points today, but as this post is already quite long, I'd rather end it in the spirit of TL:TR and will cover the points "Time spent" and "Trade frequency" in the next post. Possibly also "Profit and loss trades YTD 2025", which would fit in with the trade frequency / number of trades.

PS: as I'm traveling for work for the rest of the week, there won't be any more parts until next week.

The image of a trader is often characterized by countless monitors, charts and ticking price information. Hours spent drinking coffee, rapid decisions, lots of stressful trades - this is exactly how many people imagine trading.

But the reality is completely different! 😎

For a long time now, I've wanted to write an article about trading and give interested community members a deeper insight. You often hear the infamous killer argument: "Don't do it, 80% lose money." But trading is much more than just a game of chance!

For me, "trading" has developed into an exciting hobby over the years, through which I can with little time investmentbut a serious approacha nice additional income can generate 💰💰💰💰

If you're interested in this topic, let me know! I'll be publishing more posts on the subject in the near future - especially for anyone who wants to learn more about trading.

As my time allows, I might take a closer look at the following questions in posts:

• Trading vs. buy & hold - Which strategy suits whom?
• Requirements for trading - What should you bring with you?
• Time required - How much time is really necessary?
• Trade frequency - How many trades do I make as a part-time hobby trader?
• Capital - How much do I invest in my trades?
• Profit vs. loss trades - My balance sheet for 2025 YTD
• Income - What can you earn as a part-time trader?
• Trading setup - Saving the most exciting for last - Which indicators do I use?

And, of course, I am also happy to answer specific questions.

What there will most certainly NOT be here:

• ❌Dubious Telegram channels or invitations to YT, Insta or other social media channels
• ❌Trading signals or unrealistic promises of profit
• ❌"Hot" tips - you won't find them among my friends or relatives, nor here!

I'm happy to share my personal experiences, but without any hocus-pocus or get-rich-quick promises. It's about honest exchange for everyone who is interested in trading!

• Unlike in the fourth quarter, the company achieved an operating profit in the first three months.
• Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for special effects, rose by 14 million euros to 9 million euros compared to the previous quarter, the MDax-listed company announced in Sevenum on Tuesday.

Barclays lowers Porsche AG $P911 (-2,69%)to 'Equal Weight'; target at 42.50 euros

• The British investment bank Barclays has lowered its target price for Porsche AG shares from 62.50 to 42.50 euros and consequently downgraded the shares from "Overweight" to "Equal Weight".
• According to analyst Henning Cosman's reassessment of the Zuffenhausen-based company on Monday evening, he is returning to the sidelines.
• Both demand and restructuring are weaker than expected, he wrote with a view to the quarterly results.
• His estimates up to 2027 are 5 to 10 percent below the new consensus, according to his own statement.
• He believes the valuation of the shares is still too high.

Zalando $ZAL (-0,7%)gets off to a positive start and attracts more customers

• The online retailer Zalando has started the new financial year with growth.
• The company benefited from a good end-of-season sale, a positive start to the new spring/summer season and its bonus program.
• The number of active customers reached a new high, Zalando announced in Berlin on Tuesday.
• Sales rose by 7.9 percent to 2.4 billion euros in the first quarter.

• The pharmaceutical drug researcher and developer Evotec has recorded a weaker start to the year.
• Revenues fell by four percent year-on-year to 200 million euros, as the company announced on Tuesday.
• Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) fell by around 60 percent to EUR 3.1 million due to higher selling and administrative expenses.
• On balance, the loss widened from just under 21 million to around 32 million euros. The targets for 2025 were reaffirmed.
• Evotec only recently announced that it would be realigning its focus.
• In future, the company intends to focus on high-value services and therapeutic areas and reduce its project portfolio by around 30 percent.
• The company intends to withdraw from investments and focus on the two pillars of drug discovery & preclinical development and the Just - Evotec Biologics division.

Teamviewer $TMV (-0,97%)confirms annual targets despite difficult environment

• Software provider Teamviewer is maintaining its outlook for the year following revenue growth in the first quarter.
• "We are seeing continued high demand for our solutions - despite the very volatile global market environment," said Teamviewer CEO Oliver Steil on Tuesday, according to a press release.
• In the first quarter, the MDax company's reported turnover rose by 11 percent to 178.8 million euros.
• At the bottom line, the net result climbed by a third to 29.6 million euros.
• This was mainly due to falling marketing costs after the sponsorship agreement with English soccer club Manchester United was significantly reduced from the middle of last year.
• The takeover of 1E, which was completed at the end of January, also contributed to the growth in turnover, with the company reporting that its integration is proceeding according to plan.
• There was strong growth in the area of large corporate customers (enterprise segment). Teamviewer confirmed its targets for the year.
• In the annual outlook, the company includes the acquisition "pro forma" for comparison purposes as if it had been part of the Group since January 1, 2024.
• Accordingly, pro forma turnover is expected to increase by a further 5.1 to 7.7 percent to between 778 and 797 million euros.
• The operating profit margin adjusted for one-off effects (adjusted EBITDA) is expected to be around 43%.
• Based on this calculation, Teamviewer achieved an operating margin of 43 percent in the first quarter.

$RDC (-0,41%) Shopapotheke was picked up again with an average buy-in of €113 (100 shares). 50 of these were stopped out earlier at 126€ with approx. +11% (+650€) (TP1). The remaining 50 shares will continue to run - perhaps a little more will be possible today.

Shopapotheke has been in a nice range for short-term swings for some time 👆

EDIT: the trailing SL was triggered at TP2 at €128.10, so the position is closed again. Maybe the trade will work again, let's see if the price stays in the range 🙂 - I'm on the lookout again below €120 😉

Or how you can make a fool of yourself all over the world.

No deal with Putin, no deal with TikTok, no deal with China.... In the end, Trump had to back down again. What hedge fund managers, US industry and high-ranking Republicans had been calling for days ago came true yesterday. Just before his political "suicide", the ripcord was pulled.

My portfolio conclusion: it has once again proven true - everything that falls quickly can also rise quickly again, and vice versa📉📈 Somehow a crash in fast motion.💥 It's not over yet. We are still a long way from the highs.

The last few days around 30k have been invested in the portfolio, even several times due to the nice volatility, as I've been in and out with the whole amount about 3 times in total.

Yesterday morning I went back in with the stocks that were taken out the day before. Orders closed $UBER (+1,56%)
$RDC (-0,41%)
$KTN (-0,26%)
$VER (-0,19%)
$ZAL (-0,7%) and also the $WEBG (+0,85%) was expanded with approx. 5k. I like to invest the trading proceeds in ETFs to steadily expand the core.

How did you get on? Were you brave enough to get in?

Total of 104% tariffs for China + Infineon buys + Stada postpones IPO + Redcare wants to issue new convertible bonds + Continental wants to become a pure tire manufacturer again

Total tariffs announced for China now amount to 104 percent

• In addition to the particularly high general special tariffs for China, US President Donald Trump has also ordered tariffs of 90 percent on low-value goods from the country - a tripling of the previously planned duties for these items.
• This is the result of a decree that the Republican signed on Tuesday evening (local time).
• Originally, Trump wanted to impose a 30 percent tariff on goods with a value of less than 800 dollars (around 724 euros) from May 2.
• Until now, such goods were exempt from tariffs.
• Thanks to this rule, Chinese online retailers such as Temu and Shein delivered their products to the USA on a large scale.
• In the decree, the President also enshrined the previously announced particularly high US special tariffs for China.
• He thus replaced the initially planned additional 34% with tariffs of 84%.
• This was Trump's response to the counter-tariffs of 34% announced by Beijing.
• The USA had initially imposed additional tariffs of 20 percent on goods from China since January.
• The total tariffs announced for China now amount to 104 percent.

Infineon $IFX (-0,63%)buys more

• Following the 2.5 billion dollar takeover of Marvell Technology's automotive Ethernet business, Infineon shares rose by 0.8 percent.
• The takeover offers Infineon the opportunity to expand its technology platform, wrote ING analyst Jan Frederik Slijkerman.
• In addition, the acquisition enables the semiconductor company to enter the automotive segment, offering higher value-added products while strengthening its platform.
• However, the transaction comes with a high price tag, he added.

Stada postpones IPO

• Stada
  is postponing its planned IPO on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
• The pharmaceutical manufacturer cited the current market volatility, US tariffs and geopolitical uncertainties as reasons for the postponement.
• A new date for an IPO is currently being examined.

Online pharmacy Redcare $RDC (-0,41%)wants to issue new convertible bonds

• The online pharmacy Redcare wants to issue new convertible bonds and buy back old securities.
• The new bonds are to be sold in the amount of 300 million for a term of 7 years, as the company announced on Tuesday after the close of trading in Sevenum, the Netherlands.
• They will carry a coupon interest rate of 1.75 to 2.25 percent and the conversion premium is expected to be between 40 and 45 percent.
• The results of the allocation are expected to be announced on the same day.
• At the same time, Redcare (Shop Apotheke Europe) intends to buy back outstanding convertible bonds for 225 million euros, which mature in 2028 and have a coupon of 0 percent.
• The proceeds of the new issue are to be used for this and for "general corporate purposes".
• The news was not well received on the stock exchange.

Continental $CON (-0,16%)wants to become a pure tire manufacturer again

• The automotive supplier and tire manufacturer Continental, which is about to be split up, now also wants to separate from its plastics technology division Contitech.
• In a fundamental decision, the Executive Board has decided to make the Contitech division independent, the company announced.
• The exact details will be decided at a later date.
• As things stand, Continental considers the sale of Contitech to be the most likely option.
• Continental is already planning the spin-off of its automotive supplier division, which is to be listed on the stock exchange as an independent company.
• If the shareholders give their approval at the end of April, the IPO of the division will take place under a new name in September.
• A possible sale of Conntitech should only take place afterwards, it was said.
• Only the traditional tire business is to remain with Conti after the sale.
• The supplier will thus once again become a "focused global tire company", according to the press release.

No time given: US: "Reciprocal" US import tariffs come into force

$RDC (-0,41%) just 3 days ago ( https://getqu.in/bfUXsK/ ), the upper edge of the small range was reached today. Due to the high volatility, a trailing SL was immediately set on TP1, which was then triggered quite quickly.

If it retraces nicely, we will buy again If it makes it to the upper half of the range, a buy via stop buy is also an option 😁

But profits are secured for the time being in times of high volatility 💰

$RDC (-0,41%) has reached the lower volume edge again, so you can take a bit of a risk. Otherwise, I'm still cautious about buying at the moment 🥶

Tariffs hamper Big Tech in the US + Apple has to raise prices + E-prescription drives growth of online pharmacy Redcare + Puma replaces boss after disappointing results + Canada imposes counter tariffs on some vehicles from the US

Tariffs hamper big tech in the USA

$AMZN (+0,1%) / $NVDA (+0,4%) / $MSFT (+0,27%)

• The high import tariffs announced by US President Trump on technology equipment from Asia, including 34% on China, 32% on Taiwan and 25% on South Korea, could hinder Big Tech's multi-billion dollar AI infrastructure projects in the US, according to analysts.
• Project Stargate, a $500 billion data center project by OpenAI, SoftBank and Oracle, as well as AI investments by Microsoft, Alphabet and Amazon could be delayed or curtailed as a result.

Apple $AAPL (-0,21%)must raise prices

• Apple faces the choice of absorbing the additional costs or raising iPhone prices by up to 43% due to new US import tariffs of 54% on Chinese goods, according to Rosenblatt Securities.
• Even if Apple were to relocate production to Vietnam or India, it would have to raise prices by at least 30% due to tariffs of 46% and 26% respectively, according to Counterpoint Research.
• Goldman Sachs warns that far-reaching US tariffs will weigh on global growth and force the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates more aggressively than previously expected.
• Ashish Shah, Chief Investment Officer at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, describes this as a growth shock and a burden for US consumers.

E-prescription drives growth of online pharmacy Redcare $RDC (-0,41%)

• The online pharmacy Redcare Pharmacy grew strongly in the first quarter.
• The company continued to benefit from a strong increase in business with electronic prescriptions, particularly in Germany.
• According to a statement on Friday, the company increased its revenue by 28 percent year-on-year to 717 million euros, which was slightly above market estimates.
• In Germany alone, sales of e-prescriptions almost tripled to 108 million euros.
• This key figure is a particular focus for investors and analysts.
• At company level, it reportedly increased by almost 50 percent to 233 million euros.
• However, Redcare continues to generate the lion's share of its business with the sale of non-prescription products.
• Revenues here rose by almost a fifth to 484 million euros.
• The online pharmacy did not disclose earnings figures, but the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) margin "should be positive again," explained CFO Jasper Eenhorst.
• Redcare is "clearly on course" to achieve its annual targets.
• The company plans to publish its full quarterly report on May 6.

Puma $PUM (+0,5%)replaces CEO after disappointing results

• Following a recent disappointing performance, the sporting goods manufacturer Puma is making a change of boss.
• Arne Freundt is stepping down as CEO on April 11 "due to differing views on the implementation of the strategy", the company announced in Herzogenaurach on Thursday.
• The Supervisory Board has appointed Arthur Hoeld as the new Puma CEO from July 1, it said. He was responsible for global sales as a member of the Adidas Executive Board until October 2024.
• Matthias Bäumer, previously Vice President for the Teamsport segment, will also take over the position of Chief Sales Officer from April 1.
• Puma is currently experiencing a huge crunch: after a decline in profits last year, the Adidas competitor is also expecting falling results for 2025.
• Trade tensions, cautious consumers and strong fluctuations in exchange rates are weighing on the Swiss franc, which is massively lagging behind its local rival.

Canada imposes counter-tariffs on some vehicles from the USA

• Canada is responding to US President Donald Trump in the trade war and imposing counter-tariffs on certain vehicle imports from the United States.
• Ottawa will impose 25 percent import duties on all cars not produced under the North American trade pact USMCA, announced Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
• The measures should cause maximum damage to the US economy, but spare the Canadian economy as much as possible.
• Carney emphasized that the United States was no longer a friendly partner for Canada and that the country would defend its interests and sovereignty.
• According to Carney, he had also spoken to the acting Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz on the phone that morning.
• They discussed strengthening the "diverse trade relations" between the two countries.
• "In light of the crisis caused by President Trump's tariffs, reliable trading partners are more important than ever," Carney wrote on the X platform.
• Trump launched a trade war against neighboring Canada and Mexico shortly after taking office, but has withdrawn some tariffs several times.
• Although Canada was not mentioned in the latest announcements by the US government, tariffs already imposed on the country still apply.
• The Canadian automotive industry is particularly affected.
