I have sold 100% of my $TTWO (+0,34%) of my position. I got out with a plus of 60%. The share has been running pretty hot, with a slight gain recently due to the EA takeover. Take-Two can certainly rise further, but it hasn't been cheap for a long time. I was satisfied with my profit and am now allocating the money to other shares or ETFs.

I am currently of the opinion that I am in a good position with my investments for the current status. (approx. 1 year of investing)

Now to the individual stocks! 🧐

My main ETF $IWRD (+0,07%) :

Currently, the iShares MSCI World is my biggest stock - but also my biggest problem (at least in my opinion). It's currently too much of a cluster risk for me, as I'm invested in North America with around 55%. 😣

My second ETF $XMME (+0,07%) :

I try to minimize this cluster risk with this ETF. 70/30 strategy... 😛

The China giant $1810 (-0,78%) :

As I really like the current status of the company, I am following developments with interest and the purchase price was very attractive for my financial means, I bought it. With satisfaction. Of course, I also did it to further minimize the cluster risk. So... hopefully I'll be able to sell at a profit at some point! 😇

A bigger gamble $TTWO (+0,34%) :

Well... what can you say... GTA 6 will probably blow everyone away. Of course, I'm aware it's only a small percentage, so either pay the lesson or get lucky. ☘️

My first solid stock with dividend prospects $KO (+1,04%) :

Everyone knows it, everyone has bought it. There's nothing to say about CocaCola. 🥤

My second solid div. stock $SHEL (+1,55%) :

I was able to get in cheap, the company is huge and stable. ⛽️

The bank share $DBK (+0,68%) :

I'm with DB, extremely happy with it and was able to strike it cheap at the time. So far it's done quite well and there are always a few dividends! 💰

And finally... the more or less ugly duckling $SLI (+2,82%) :

The little gamble that turned into my first doubling. One can only hope. Stability is not exactly the hobbyhorse. 🦆

And now for my future thoughts!

I am currently interested in $DTE (-0,22%) (approx. worth €300-400) and letting them run with a savings plan. On the one hand, of course, to further balance out the cluster risk and on the other hand, to somewhat delimit the Asian theme.

My next consideration is $CL (+0%) as it currently has an interesting entry price.

What do you think?

I started investing at the beginning of the month and have spent the last three weeks building up a portfolio with the aim of accumulating wealth over the long term. I am now relatively familiar with the topic, have analyzed many strategies and have decided on an approach based on two pillars:

1. growth portfolio:

I invest in broadly diversified ETFs such as the $VWCE (-0,04%)combined with thematic focuses such as $XAIX (-0,55%) and the healthcare sector. I also invest in individual stocks such as $NVDA (-1,07%), $BRK.B (+0,98%) or $TTWO (+0,34%) - the latter deliberately as a small position for the speculative component (GTA VI hype is realistically not entirely irrelevant).

2. distributing dividend portfolio:

Here I am betting on classic dividend stocks. These include the $VHYL (+0,36%), $SPYW, (+0,06%)
$SEDY (-0,14%) as well as individual stocks such as $KO (+1,04%) or $ALV (-0,26%). The aim is to generate a steady cash flow that can be reinvested in the long term.

I am aware that there is no perfect distribution. That's why I'm interested in your opinion:

• Which stocks would you weight higher or reduce?
• Is there anything that doesn't fit in at all from your point of view?
• How do you balance growth and dividends?

I am open to criticism, experience and other perspectives.

In the world of investing, structure and weighting are crucial, especially if you want to build a sustainable and high-yielding portfolio. The following chart shows my target weighting

target weighting, based on the core-satellite principle. This model combines stability with targeted growth potential, a balance between risk and opportunity.

The portfolio structure at a glance:

1. core component - 73.7% (between 70-80%) FTSE All-World (blue) $VWRL (+0,09%)
and $FWRG (+0,09%) The majority of my portfolio is made up of the FTSE All-World ETFwhich tracks over 4,000 companies worldwide. This broad diversification is the basis for long-term asset accumulation and protects against individual risks.

Advantages:

• Worldwide diversification in industrialized and emerging countries
• Automatic access to the world's largest companies
• High stability with moderate risk
• Automatic rebalancing if, for example, America loses economic power.

2. satellite components - 26.3% (max. 30%) opportunity-oriented additions

These components increase the return potential through targeted investments outside the broad market index:

- 15.8 % Bitcoin (brown) $BTC (+1,29%)

I see Bitcoin as a promising but volatile investment. As a decentralized store of value and possible "digital gold", it can benefit greatly in the long term, especially if demonetization continues or institutional acceptance grows.

- 10.5 % gold ETF (orange) $ZGLD

This is a physically deposited gold ETFa classic safe haven with digital access. Gold has historically provided reliable protection against inflation, geopolitical uncertainty and currency risks. ZGLD combines these advantages with the efficiency of an ETF.

(Currently: portfolio still has too little gold and All-World monthly savings plan runs on the FWRG and weekly savings plan on the ZGLD.

Bitcoin is more of a lump sum if more fallen and aligned to 4-year cycle.

Otherwise just a small gamble on Take-Two $TTWO (+0,34%) with the GTA 6 hype going on but will then be sold shortly before release and regrouped).

Why this portfolio?

The core-satellite model offers me several advantages:

• Stability through the core share (FTSE All-World)
• Flexibility & innovation through satellites (Bitcoin and gold)
• Risk control through clear weightings

It is a portfolio that is designed for the long term, i.e. not a short-term speculative portfolio, but a well thought-out structure with a strategic focus on the next 10-40 years.

Possible further developments

Of course, no portfolio is set in stone or perfect. Here are a few considerations for possible further development:

• Further satellite ideasEmerging markets, AI ETFs, small caps, dividend stocks
• Rebalancing strategy: Review the weighting once a year and adjust if necessary
• Hedging strategiesE.g. through cash quota or bonds for times of crisis

And now it's up to you:

• What does your portfolio weighting look like?
• Are you more interested in stability or do you take more risk?
• What role do crypto or precious metals play in your strategy?
• Do you also use the core-satellite model or do you take a different approach?

I look forward to your input, your experiences and your questions in the comments!

Your Lord Vader!
