In January I decided to set up a dividend portfolio for myself. I immediately used the setback in February to end my one-year "test phase" as a stock market novice and start my long-term plan. In addition to two dividend-paying ETFs for retirement provision $XDWL (-3,24%) & $XSX7 (-2,6%) I want to build up a strong portfolio through stable dividend stocks, regular purchases and reinvestment of dividends.

I would like to take you with me on my journey and now share regular updates on the development of my portfolio.

Warren Buffett remains a heavyweight on the stock market. In his latest letter to Berkshire Hathaway shareholders, he emphasizes the importance of his US holdings and shows interest in Japan. 💼

Buffett emphasizes that Berkshire holds shares in large, profitable companies such as Apple $AAPL (-5,87%)American Express $AXP (-4,87%), Coca-Cola $KO (-1,78%) and Moody's $MCO (-4,79%) . These companies generate high returns on the capital invested. At the end of the year, these investments were worth a total of USD 272 billion.

One exciting point is his strategy of buying shares when others are selling. Buffett emphasizes that it is rare for exceptional companies to be completely for sale. But fractions of these "treasures" can be bought on Wall Street from Monday to Friday.

With regard to Japan, Berkshire has increased its investments in this market. This shows that Buffett is also taking advantage of international opportunities to diversify his portfolio. Berkshire's current cash position is an impressive USD 334 billion. This means that Buffett remains one of the most influential investors in the world.

Since I have been toying with the idea of $VICI (-2,71%) out of the portfolio and replace it with $UBER (-5,36%) I finally made the trade today. The fact that Bill Ackman has now also built up a larger Uber position has reinforced my analysis.

I think the future for Uber as an aggregator in the transportation and delivery service sector is greener than it is estimated today and I do not believe that self-driving cars (Waymo, Tesla) will permanently weaken Uber's business and platform.

I have also trimmed my $AXP (-4,87%) trimmed my position and invested the capital in Uber.
