Today I‘m sharing with you my main portfolio. This doesn’t include any ETF investments and crypto currencies / gold etc. since I want to focus my presence on getquin on stock-picking.

Read my 3-part portfolio strategy posts to get the full picture - here are just the main pillars of what I‘m doing:

Long-term buy and hold (average holding time 5+ years at least)
Focus on high-ROIC compounders riding secular trends (top-tier capital efficiency)
High margins, strong FCF growth, large moats (7 powers strategy)
Holding not more than 20 stocks at a time while mainly focusing on US and EU based companies

I like to divide my holdings into „core holdings“ (forever stocks) and „trend picks“ (2030 stocks) as follows:

Core Holdings (“Forever Stocks”):

Growth Picks (“2030 Stocks”):

My portfolio strategy (part 3)

I use the 7 Powers framework from the book “7 Powers: The Foundations of Business Strategy” by Hamilton Helmer. It’s a killer framework for understanding why some businesses create lasting value and compound returns over time.

Each “Power” is a sustainable strategic advantage that lets a company generate outsized returns for a long time. I ask the 7 questions for each stock I am considering to buy.

1. Counter-Positioning

What it is: A new entrant adopts a superior business model that incumbents can’t copy without damaging their own biz.
Example: Netflix vs. Blockbuster. Blockbuster couldn’t move to streaming without killing its DVD revenue.
Why it matters: Creates asymmetric pressure; the old guard is paralyzed.

2. Scale Economies

What it is: Unit costs drop as volume increases.
Example: Amazon, Costco. Bigger = cheaper = stronger moat.
Why it matters: Hard to compete if you can’t match their cost base.

3. Switching Costs

What it is: Customers stick around because switching is painful.
Example: Adobe Creative Cloud, Microsoft Office, Salesforce.
Why it matters: High retention = stable cash flows = compounding machine.

4. Network Effects

What it is: The product gets better as more people use it.
Example: Meta, Visa, LinkedIn.
Why it matters: Leads to dominance, creates a feedback loop of growth.

5. Branding

What it is: Emotional or symbolic value, not just functional.
Example: L’Oréal, Hermès, Apple.
Why it matters: Lets companies charge premium prices and keeps customers loyal even if alternatives exist.

6. Cornered Resource

What it is: Exclusive access to a critical asset — talent, IP, data, supply.
Example: ASML (EUV tech), Novo Nordisk (Ozempic IP), Ferrari (brand + heritage + team).
Why it matters: If no one else can get it, you win.

7. Process Power

What it is: Unique internal processes that drive efficiency, innovation, or quality — and are hard to copy.
Example: Toyota (lean manufacturing), Amazon (logistics, culture of innovation).
Why it matters: Long-lasting edge baked into the org’s DNA.

If I had to chose one, Network effects would be the most important one for me.

My portfolio strategy (part 2)

Concentrate on the following sectors: Tech, consumer, healthcare, financial (excluding banks), industrials
Smallest position size 2% / largest position size 15%
Only sell a position when it can be replaced with a position that increases the overall quality of the portfolio
Avoid companies with little to no track record or companies going through a restructuring phase

I see a lot of similarities to my strategy! Could it be that you watch a certain Youtuber with the initials JC? 😏

My portfolio strategy (part 1)

My Portfolio is a selection of 15-25 companies which I am buying and planning on never selling. The overall criteria for my #investableuniverse are the following. I will go in-depth in another post:

Little capital needed to run the business (high ROCE)
High returns on invested capital (high ROIC)
Profitability track-record with high gross margins / operating margins / high free cash flow margins
High free cashflow growth / substantial revenue growth
Global revenue diversification
Low cyclicality
#tollbooth Company - Large moat / brand name in the industry / no alternatives to the product
Predictable sources of future growth / global trends

Here are my current holdings:

Ultimate Homer "ETF" savings plan Return after 15 months

Tops

Still at the top 🥇Sprouts Farmers$SFM (+1,3%) which are stable 📈 followed by 🥈Netflix $NFLX (-0,38%) which has fought its way up to second place despite all the market turbulence.

Walmart $WMT (+0,17%) who have always been in the top 3 since I started covering the position.

Unlike the country 🇩🇪 where it feels 📉. Things are looking surprisingly good on the stock market for 🇩🇪 shares $DB1 (+1,46%) & $MUV2 (+0,45%) in the top 10 💪😊

Surprisingly, there is no sign of Magnificent 7 far and wide 😂 although $TSLA (+6,14%) is no longer represented in the "ETF".

Flops

Although Adobe$ADBE (+0,49%) actually has good figures, the position has not really gotten off the ground since I started holding it, worse still, so far it has brought me the most losses, although it does not pay a dividend 😂

Of course the savings plans are still running this month, but not all positions.

The winners are still running, some of the losers have been paused for the time being and only the flops are still running. $QCOM (+1,77%)
$AMAT (+1,79%) continue.

The dear Walmart... always look too expensive and still run. I bought at the split back then and everyone told me that the split didn't change the price 😋😂
That's why I wouldn't buy directly at the moment, for example. But the savings plan is great. In my upcoming project, however, they lost out to costco. That was my consideration: costco or walmart.

And Adobe is really a case in itself. I had my eye on them a lot last year and we often saw good figures and yet the stock market was down -10/-12% in some cases

Moat from Adobe?

What do you currently think of $ADBE (+0,49%) I think the company is actually very attractive and is also back in a stabilization zone. I look forward to hearing your opinions on the company.
