$OXY (-1,64%) I bought a further 350 shares, bringing the total to 1000. I expect a sharp rise in oil prices in the near future. Oil shares have absolutely "gone under the wheels" in the last 12 months... Why Occidental??? They plan to store Co2 where they have extracted oil and gas in the future and receive climate certificates for this and then sell these to companies...

$CCL (+0,86%) One of my long-term stocks has been trimmed back from overweight (4%) to normal size (2.5%). A few months ago I bought at €15 and €17 and have now partially sold at €25. The share will not disappear completely for me. I am hoping for a recovery of €30+. If it falls below €20 again, I will slowly overweight again. This game has been played from time to time for the last 5 years and the positive management of the debt, in addition to the constant good news, slowly speaks for a breakthrough.

$BAYN (-0,68%) I bought in at the beginning of April at €22, but have now decided to close the position at just under €27. I actually wanted to hold the share long, but somehow I can't warm to it. Perhaps it will find its way back into my portfolio at some point.

$AVGO (+1,12%) In the April crash, I bought the stock at €151 (2% weighting) using a Lombard loan (10% portfolio size), among other things, and the position has now been closed at €224. More was not my target recovery to old ATH.

$9618 (-2,47%) Unfortunately, this position was closed with a minus of 13%. The reason for this was the annual rebalancing in which the China portion had become too large for me. As I was convinced by $1211 (+2,67%) , $BABA (-0,97%) and $PDD (+2,03%) JD had to give way.

Portfolio purchase:

$OXY (-1,64%) Bought another small tranche. After the 10% slump, I had some capital left over, which was invested at 36.50. One of my larger individual bets with a 5% portfolio weighting.

A new addition to the portfolio is $TX (+2,3%) with a small position of 1%. The reason sounds stupid, but it's a little chat GPT experiment. I wanted to be told which stocks were selected according to the Columbia Buffet approach. I was given 5 suggestions, some of which were frankly garbage. But this stock somehow got me hooked. Which is why I took the risk with only 1% of my portfolio (just over 1k).

Note:

My single stock portfolio Smartbroker plus makes up 2/3 of the asset class equities.

1/3 are Etf's with Trade Republic.

In total, equities make up 90% of my investable assets.

In addition to my three equity ETFs, TR holds my real estate REIT ($O (-0,76%) approx. 5%), as well as my gold ETC ($SGBS (+0,64%) 2.5%) and my gold miner Etf ($GDXJ (+3%) 2.5%) which make up the remaining 10%.

Approximate total assets 100k (more like 95k :/ due to volatility) but debt free (except for a 3.5k balance on the Lombard loan). I have been investing since 2020 and am 28 years young.

Hi Dear GQ Community,

Today I wanted to share my portfolio with you and see what you think or say about it. You are welcome to make suggestions for improvement. 😃

First of all about me, I am 31 years old, father of 2 children and only work as a service technician 👷‍♂️unterwegs which is why I currently have no more than 100€ - 130€ per month available to invest. I always thought with your high sums that I would not divide my portfolio because it is so small. But today I'm just going to do it 😅.

I've only been investing since the end of May 2025. I'm looking for dividends that are partly reinvested and partly paid out. But I want to save for old age in the long term to possibly supplement my pension 🧓later on. 💰💸

Now to the portfolio. I don't currently have a plan for how much of my budget is going where. I'll look at it for a month and then decide who has performed best 📈 and who has performed less 📉.

I currently have:

ETF savings plans:

• $IWDA (-0,48%) with monthly 25€
• $VHYL (-0,44%) with monthly 15€
• $EIMI (-0,12%) with monthly 10€

Individual shares:

• $OXY (-1,64%)
• $PEP (-1,72%)
• 
  $KO (+0,19%)
• 
  $SHEL (-0,77%)
• 
  $RHM (-1,33%)
• 
  $BAC (-0,02%)

Crypto:

• $BTC (+0,04%)

The savings plans are saved every month and the individual shares are saved more or less depending on the month. Because $BTC (+0,04%) to be honest, I'm in it just for fun. I'd like to see where the journey takes me.

As I said, I'll decide exactly how it will be divided up next month when I see who has performed best by then. And then it will be adjusted monthly.

At the moment my portfolio is only in the red with the order fees from Trade Republic, if these weren't there I would already be slightly in the black. But I am investing for the long term and am not out for day trading.

Now I'm curious to hear what you have to say, and please don't completely tear me apart 😅.

The tensions will be resolved quickly. High oil prices harm American consumers. Trump wants to prevent that. He also wants to conclude an agreement with China. China imports a lot of oil from Iran, which will hurt them. The same applies to India, with which Trump also wants to conclude an agreement.

Trump is pro-Israel and wants to help Israel achieve its military goals. However, he will not give Israel much time to do so. It will either be over as quickly as the Six-Day War or after two weeks at the latest, enforced by Trump.

Around 20 % of global oil production flows through the Strait of Hormuz

Around 90% of Iran's oil exports pass through the Strait of Hormuz every year, which corresponds to around 83% of all Iranian exports. This is due to the fact that almost all Iranian oil export terminals and major ports are located in the Persian Gulf and there are no significant alternative routes such as deep-sea piers or pipeline infrastructure outside the Strait.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow stretch of sea between Iran and Oman.

It is only 33 kilometers wide, but almost 21 million barrels of oil are transported through it every day.

That is equivalent to one in every five barrels consumed on earth. It is by far the most important energy bottleneck on our planet.

For this reason, it would be a disaster if the Strait of Hormuz were even partially closed, we would lose access to more than 10 million barrels of oil per day.

There are no realistic alternative routes. Pipelines? Already almost at capacity. Alternative ports? Too small.

You can't divert 20% of oil traffic overnight.

After some research and my assessment what would happen/what would be the consequences if the Strait of Hormuz was blocked, closed:

Strategic:

The Strait of Hormuz is the world's most critical maritime bottleneck. Around 20% of the world's traded crude oil and 30% of the world's liquefied natural gas supplies pass through these narrow waters every day. If Iran were to block or significantly disrupt the Strait with mines, anti-ship missiles, drone attacks or speedboats, this would not only trigger a regional crisis, but also cause a systemic shock to the global economy, supply chains and security architecture.

Presumed initial effects:

Peak energy price: crude oil could rise by 30 to 60 US dollars within a few days. Brent could reach 130 to 150 US dollars, depending on the expected duration of the disruption. Natural gas, especially liquefied natural gas for Asia, would become acutely scarce. Expect *JKM LNG benchmarks in Japan and Korea to rise.

*JKM stands for Japan Korea Marker and is an important price benchmark for liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the Asian market, especially for deliveries to Japan, South Korea, China and Taiwan. The JKM is calculated by S&P Global Platts and reflects the spot market price of LNG cargoes delivered ex-ship (DES)

Naval and kinetic escalation: the US Fifth Fleet stationed in Bahrain would be rapidly mobilized. Mine sweeping, naval escorts and possibly kinetic attacks on Iranian coastal positions would result. Israel could take preventive action in Lebanon or Syria, fearing a regional encirclement.

Consequences:

Global trade shocks: energy shipments would have to be rerouted via the Suez Canal or the Cape of Good Hope, increasing costs and delivery times. Transport insurance premiums are rising rapidly. Prices for container transportation are rising again, especially to Europe and Asia. Additional port congestion and cascading logistical delays are to be expected.

Macroeconomic:

The central banks of energy-importing countries (India, Japan, EU) begin defensive foreign exchange market interventions and emergency procurement of energy. A reduction in reserves, a redistribution of state assets and possible covert bilateral agreements with the Gulf states are to be expected.

Supply chains will be strained:

Fertilizer prices are rising due to natural gas shortages. Food prices, especially wheat and soybeans, are soaring. Countries that rely on subsidized energy (Pakistan, Egypt, Indonesia) are confronted with currency problems and domestic instability.

Sovereign credit risk:

Rising energy costs are putting pressure on emerging markets' current accounts. Countries are coming under increasing pressure, leading to IMF interventions and sovereign debt downgrades. The periphery of the eurozone comes under renewed pressure.

US financial and military pressure:

Rising oil prices push inflation back up, while the Fed is under pressure to cut interest rates. Interest expenses for US debt are rising. At the same time, defense spending is soaring. The demand for dollars from foreign central banks is weakening, while the supply of government bonds is increasing. This increases the risk of a long-term liquidity vacuum. Interest rates could rise even if growth stagnates.

China, the main buyer of Iranian oil, finds itself in a geopolitical dilemma. It could intervene diplomatically or even provide a naval escort for Iranian supplies. This would be a direct challenge to US hegemony. Russia benefits from higher energy prices and global distraction, strengthening its influence in Ukraine.

Maritime cyber sabotage, hacker attacks on oil infrastructure or psychological disruption campaigns against the Gulf States or US critical infrastructure could also have consequences.

Other probable consequences of a closure of Hormuz:

• Re-introduction of energy shortage prices in markets where energy was priced in abundance
• Undermining confidence in the dollar and the US policy of deterrence, especially if the conflict drags on
• Acceleration of BRICS-led de-dollarization efforts as energy security becomes sovereign again

When $BRK.B (-0,34%) started during the Corona crisis $OXY (-1,64%) and $CVX (-0,67%) many people didn't understand this. Tech was more popular than ever at the time and oil was considered dead. A short time later, it became clear that oil was here to stay. As discussed in the last market review, the energy sector was one of the best investments during the pandemic.

However, this was probably a special boom for fossil fuels that was to remain a one-off. Since the price explosion, the energy sector has been in a very weak trend and is the worst performing sector directly after healthcare (which could therefore also be very interesting at the moment).

In particular, the dynamic has shifted from oil & gas to electricity - which, however, is not counted as part of the energy sector in the classic GICS but as part of the utilities sector. The reason for this is, of course, the expected triumph of artificial intelligence and the associated hunger for energy in data centers. The best-known company in the sector is probably $NEE (-0,15%)

In any case, Buffet's investments in fossil fuels have not been particularly worthwhile to date, as he may have made a favorable initial entry, but then often bought at unfavorable prices. At the current point in time, the investment case has not yet worked out. It is therefore an interesting question whether Buffet is speculating on something that has not yet been understood by the market or whether it is one of the rare situations in which the good Warren has miscalculated something (think of the disaster around $KHC (-1,51%) ). At any rate, it is difficult to understand what Buffet was thinking and whether his theory is still intact.

Incidentally, I myself am not invested in either utilities or energy, which I think is a great pity. However, I have not been able to identify any company that is currently really convincing in terms of its figures and can be described as a quality company.

What about you? Do you have any oil, gas or electricity stocks in your portfolio?
