I am satisfied with the figures at +11.2%, but more importantly.....

The interface is clearly structured, the most important functions are intuitively accessible and the execution of trades runs smoothly. For investors who trade regularly or actively manage their portfolios, this is a real plus. I can still say that after a month.

PIEs: Structure for long-term investments

One of my favorite functions are the so-called PIEs. I use them specifically to "hide" long-term sharesi.e. to deliberately remove them from my daily focus. This helps me to keep the focus on my active trading portfolio without having to constantly keep an eye on the long-term positions. At the same time, this structure provides a better overviewespecially if you hold a lot of individual stocks or pursue different strategies.

What I do miss, however, is a search function for PIEs. Especially if you have created several - for example by sector, region or strategy - a filter or search option would be helpful to access specific content more quickly.

24/5 Trading: pure flexibility

A real highlight for me is the 24/5 Trading. The ability to trade around the clock from Monday to Friday is a game changer - especially for working people or people with irregular schedules. I can react in the evening or early in the morning without having to rely on the opening hours of traditional stock exchanges.

Tip: Trade US shares directly in dollars

A practical tip that I would like to pass on to everyone: Trade US stocks ( on the US stock exchange, i.e. in dollars) directly in dollars. This saves you the 0.15 % FX fees on buying and selling, which are otherwise incurred when converting into euros.

Customer support: Fast, friendly, competent

Another plus point is the customer support. I have already had several issues - from technical questions to queries about transactions - and the responses have always been fast, friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, this is no longer a matter of course in this day and age and definitely deserves praise. Trading212 shows that they take their users seriously and respond to feedback.

Price alerts and AI analysis

The price alerts also work reliably. I use them regularly to be notified at certain thresholds - whether for buying opportunities or to take profits. The AI analysis is a nice extra, but for me it's more of a "nice to have". It provides interesting impulses, but does not replace your own research or strategy. Nevertheless, it can be a good starting point for beginners.

Conclusion

Trading212 offers a modern, user-friendly platformthat offers many advantages for both beginners and experienced investors. The combination of structured portfolio management, flexible trading, helpful tools and good support makes the app an integral part of my everyday financial life.

Thanks again to @Hotte1909 for the tip. Otherwise I certainly wouldn't have started using the platform. What experience or tips do you have about Trading212.com?

I had the most profit with $IREN (+1,47%) +45% Most loss with $MP (+4,14%) -10%

$MP (+4,14%)

Tastes good!

as some of you here already know. These stocks have played a large part in the good performance of my portfolio.

Today, after $UUUU (+1,96%) , $MP (+4,14%) and $PPTA (+4,88%) with $MTM (+6,08%) the next stock cracked the 100% mark. It took a little longer here at 3 months, but I can live with that.

#momentumstrategie

As promised, I have listed the monthly performance of the reported stocks.

I hope it will inspire you to find new companies.

And a little added value.

of a rare earth share

After $MP (+4,14%) also made it yesterday $UUUU (+1,96%) and added another one today. Here, too, it only took 2 months. But there is still more to come than the 120%. Even if there will be some profit-taking for the time being.

It's no longer a big secret that commodity stocks make up a large part of my portfolio, as I've often written posts about them.

Right now, the conflict between China and the USA is once again about rare earths for heavy magnets. Trump is threatening 200% tariffs if China does not deliver. One thing is clear: if China does not supply rare earths to the USA, everything in the automotive, technology and defense sectors will come to a standstill in a relatively short space of time. You could say that the 200% tariff would not generate any revenue for the USA, because China would no longer export anything there and, on the other hand, the US economy would come to a standstill in large parts.

I am therefore convinced that the US government will continue to do everything it can to reduce this dependency. The main beneficiaries of this will be

$MP (+4,14%)

$UUUU (+1,96%)

$A412UH USA Rare Earth Inc.

and also $LYC (+5,63%)

Trump's tariff threats fizzle out in China

Asia's stock markets were predominantly negative on Tuesday. While Japan, South Korea and Malaysia are down by up to 0.9%, other markets are little changed. Shenzhen even rose by 0.7 percent. China's stock markets are thus ignoring the latest threats from US President Trump. The previous evening, he threatened the country with tariffs of up to 200% if it did not supply magnetic building blocks made from rare earths.

After my first post on humanoid robots received a lot of positive feedback, I went into more detail. I have subsequently added my favorites in each sector.

What one man's $NOVO B is to me the $MP (+4,14%)

On Tuesday, August 12, 2025, MP Materials (NYSE:MP) presented insights into its strategic initiatives and operational progress at Canaccord Genuity's 45th Annual Growth Conference. The company, a key player in rare earth production, highlighted its progress in production capacity and partnerships while addressing challenges in refinery operations and supply chain vulnerabilities.

Key findings

• MP Materials is targeting upstream production of 60,000 tons; current annual production is over 50,000 tons.
• The company is targeting production of 6,075 tons of refined NDPR, with an average sequential growth of 25% since 2023
• Strategic partnerships with the US Department of Defense and Apple are critical to supply chain security and recycling initiatives.
• MP Materials is expanding its magnet production facilities and significant off-take agreements have already been secured.
• The company is confident that it will be able to meet its demand for heavy rare earths; a new refinery is scheduled to come on stream by 2026.

Financial results

• MP Materials reported production of over 13,000 tons for the last quarter, contributing to a pro forma earning power of $650 million.
• The company is focused on improving concentrate quality and eliminating bottlenecks in material handling to optimize refinery operations.
• Upstream production capacity could significantly increase earnings potential but is not included in the current base case forecast.

Operational developments

Upstream production:

• Production of over 50,000 tons annually, with a focus on optimizing concentrate quality.

Midstream production:

• Refinery operations commenced in late 2023, with a target of 6,075 tons of refined NDPR.
• Sequential growth of 10-20% is expected for the next quarter while material handling challenges are addressed.

Downstream production:

• 1,000 tons of initial production has been committed to General Motors; further expansion is contracted with Apple.
• A full offtake agreement is in place with the US Department of Defense for a new plant with 7,000 tons of capacity.

Recycling initiatives:

• Partnership with Apple to develop recycling facilities for NDPR and heavy rare earths.

Future prospects

• MP Materials plans to reach 60,000 tons of rare earth oxide (REO) in concentrate and build capacity for 10,000 tons of magnets.
• The company is focused on implementing the plans, expanding recycling activities and reducing the heavy rare earth content through technological advances.
• Continued collaboration with the US Department of Defense is central to strategic growth.

Q&A Highlights

• MP Materials will have the only refinery outside of China by 2026, improving sourcing opportunities for heavy rare earths.
• Based on existing revenue forecasts and strategic partnerships, the company is in no rush to sign new customer contracts.

With $MP (+4,14%) . Yesterday's figures led to a further significant rise after the close of trading. The share has the potential to become a tenbagger. Even though my buy-in will naturally increase gradually due to the monthly savings plan, the first shares have already more than tripled. My buy-in across all shares is currently €24.

The shares of MP Materials Corp (NYSE:MP) rose by 7% in after-hours trading yesterday after the producer of rare earths impressed with strong quarterly figures. The company also made clear progress with its strategy of offering refined products with higher added value. Investors reacted positively to signs that the transition from low-margin concentrate sales to the production of NdPr oxide and metals is gathering pace.

For the second quarter ended June 30, MP reported sales of USD 57.4 million - well above analysts' estimates of USD 46.7 million and 84% higher than in the same period last year. Adjusted loss per share was USD 0.13, also better than the expected loss of USD 0.20 - a year-on-year improvement of 24%.

Production volumes were a key driver of sales growth: NdPr oxide production reached a new record of 597 tons - an increase of 119% compared to the previous year. Total production of rare earth oxides rose by 45% to 13,145 tons, the second-highest quarterly result in the company's history. At the same time, the sales volume of NdPr tripled to 443 tons.

"In Q2, our Materials segment achieved record production of NdPr oxide and delivered the second highest REO production in MP's history," said James Litinsky, Founder, Chairman and CEO of MP Materials. "At the same time, our Magnetics segment moved forward with commissioning and began profitably increasing metal production."

The Magnetics segment, which was established to support the downstream activities, achieved sales of USD 19.9 million and an adjusted EBITDA of USD 8.1 million in the first comparable reporting period. What is striking is that sales of rare earth concentrates fell by 51% year-on-year to USD 11.9 million - a clear signal that the company is moving away from exporting unprocessed raw materials, particularly to China.

MP Materials is increasingly positioning itself as a vertically integrated provider of magnetics solutions - supported by recently concluded partnerships with Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) and the US Department of Defense. Management described these agreements as "significant" milestones that will contribute to long-term profitability and strengthen MP's role in the "emerging era of physical AI".

The strategic realignment appears to have been well received by investors, as the share price performance on Thursday shows. Despite continued negative results, the increasing production of high-quality products and strong partnerships point to a clearer path to sustainable value creation.
