• EBITDA amounted to SEK 37.0 M (89.5), which corresponds to a margin of 7.5% (15.2%).

On his first day in office, US President-elect Donald Trump intends to impose high import tariffs on all goods from Mexico and Canada as well as additional tariffs on goods from China. This will be one of his first executive orders on January 20, Trump explained on the Truth Social platform, which he co-founded.

Tariffs of 25 percent are to apply to goods from Mexico and Canada. The US President-elect justified this with immigrants who bring crime and drugs across these two borders into the USA. Until this stops, the tariffs should remain in force. Both Canada and Mexico have the power to solve the problem. "We hereby call on them to use their power, and until they do, it's time for them to pay a very high price," Trump explained. Additional tariffs of ten percent are to apply to goods from China. Trump also justified this with the fact that drugs such as the deadly fentanyl were entering the USA from the country. Although China has announced that it will take action against this, it has not done so. US President Joe Biden, who is still in office, met China's head of state Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Community (Apec) summit in the Peruvian capital Lima just over a week ago. Xi had assured Biden there that he also wanted to work together with the future US administration under Trump.

With the share price of TUI $TUI1 (-0,14%) Sebastian Ebel is not satisfied. However, the Tui CEO will not be boosting the share price with a dividend payment for the time being; his focus in the use of free cash flow is on investments and debt reduction. "Our goal is to reduce our net leverage to well below 1x. When we present our figures for the financial year in December, you will see that we have already taken a big step towards this goal," Ebel told the Börsen-Zeitung. The rating has not yet returned to pre-crisis levels. "These components are the basis for formulating a sustainable dividend policy, which is an entrepreneurial decision that we will make in due course," said Ebel. (Börsen-Zeitung)

Hey guys!

I'm getting in touch after having an acc for a few months now, but never really doing much with the app.

I started investing really early at 18 every now and then, then after a few ups and downs (2021 was not a beginner-friendly year 🥲), my big first loss through $ACC (+3,39%) and the start of my studies. I've been more active again for 2-3 months and finally want to set up a smart system. But I'm a bit overwhelmed and need some Ratschläge🙏🏾 please

1. i know i have too many positions, i will soon sell 1-2 etfs again, but apart from that i don't know exactly what i should sell, e.g. $KGX (-1,15%) and $MPW (-1,04%) . Should I rather wait here until they rise again? Or just sell them and concentrate on the more important ones?

2. i want to save an ETF with approx. 50€ per month. But I don't necessarily want to take the core msci world, as it's somehow too boring for me😅 Do you have any alternatives for me? I initially wanted to save in the $WMIN (+2,15%) until I realized that the industry is cyclical and I don't think a savings plan would make the most sense. With $U3O8 (+0,77%) I'm not sure whether it would really be better. Would you have any tips and ideas for me? I also have no problem having to monitor the ETF a little.

3. what do you think of $BICO (-1,82%) ? I will certainly continue to hold it in my portfolio, as I really like the share and see a lot of potential for the future. But what do you think?

4. and finally, what do you think of overall? Do you have any tips and advice?

Thanks for reading and have a nice evening everyone!

Hello,

I am 23 years old, studying business administration and have been investing for just over 3 years now. I hope to get some helpful tips and possibly inspire you.

I have read the post from @DonkeyInvestor regarding feedback and hope to be able to make a good contribution.

1. why am I investing?

The first reason is actually a simple one: to avoid spending money unnecessarily on consumer goods that you don't actually need.

Another reason is to have a financially relaxed life (I grew up poor and a few days' vacation with school was already a financial challenge).

Other considerations are, for example, living in Vietnam, Cambodia etc. during the winter months and being able to finance at least a large part of this through future dividends, but this is something that could of course only be the case in the distant future.

2. strategy

My strategy is that the MSCI World has a share of around 25 to 35% and the rest consists of high-quality individual stocks.

In my view, high-quality stocks are companies that have strong key figures (e.g. ROCE, margins, low debt...) and, in the best case, a strong moat. I base my strategy very much on Terry Smith.

Growth is very important to me, dividends are nice but do not currently play a role in stock selection. The focus is on capital growth.

Basically, I see myself as a long-term investor, but I have already carried out some restructuring in my portfolio, as there have of course been a number of rookie mistakes (e.g. buying the next "hot tip"). But you learn from your mistakes and I'm glad I did, as I'm now looking more closely at companies and really paying attention to key figures.

This also helps a lot psychologically, as it no longer makes me nervous when a share is down 20-30%, as I know (or think I know 😆) that the company is still strong.

3. why these stocks in my portfolio?

As already mentioned, I pay close attention to key figures such as ROCE, margins, debt and free cash flow.

The sectors that are most exciting for me are IT & healthcare in particular, but also consumer goods, as I expect the highest returns there. The focus will remain on these sectors in the future.

With the exception of Ahold Delhaize ($AD (+0,06%)) and Bico ($BICO (-1,82%)), I am very satisfied with my selection. Although Ahold Delhaize is a good company in my opinion, it no longer quite fits in with my strategy.

4. how will the portfolio be further expanded?

Monster Beverage $MNST (+0,11%) and Church & Dwight $CHD (+0,09%)

You can see other possible companies in my watchlist.

Otherwise, I intend to gradually increase my current positions.

5. what do I not want to have?

Crypto, gold, silver, bonds - all uninteresting for me.

I'm looking forward to your input. You can also tell me about companies that you think would be a good fit for my portfolio. But please no companies like 3M, PayPal, MPT or other classic "insta-turnaround candidates".

Hello everyone,

I am 24 years old, my investment horizon is at least 20 years and I follow the Buy& Hold strategy and in the following I would like to share my portfolio and say something about each position.
