Dow +339.86 at 42732.13, Nasdaq +340.88 at 19621.67, S&P +73.92 at 5942.47

The stock market was in rally mode, benefiting from buying interest after the recent declines. The S&P 500 closed 1.3% higher than Thursday, but was 0.5% lower since the start of the Santa Claus rally period (last five trading days of the year and first two of the new year). The index was just below its 50-day moving average (5,944).

Gains were widely spread. Market breadth favored losers with a ratio of about 3 to 1 on the NYSE and Nasdaq. 24 of the 30 Dow components posted gains and all 11 S&P 500 sectors closed higher. The consumer discretionary sector led by a wide margin, rising 2.4%, thanks to a surge in Amazon.com $AMZN (+0%) and a big move in Tesla. Shares of $TSLA (-0,53%) recovered from their 20% drop from their December highs to yesterday's close.

Other mega cap names outperformed the broader stock market and boosted index performance. The Vanguard Mega Cap Growth ETF $MGK (+0,42%) closed 1.7% higher.

Apple $AAPL (+0,19%) was an exception, continuing declines related to iPhone discounting and declining demand in China.

Shares of US Steel $X (-0,22%) also went against the uptrend, slipping after the White House confirmed that President Biden will block the acquisition of Nippon Steel $NPSCY takeover. Nippon Steel Corporation and US Steel released a statement condemning the US government's decision to block the proposed acquisition of US Steel, calling it illegal.

The yield on 10-year bonds rose two basis points to 4.60% and the yield on 2-year bonds rose three basis points to 4.28%.

Tesla
$TSLA (-0,53%) has in the year 2024 over 657.000 electric vehicles to customers in China 🇨🇳 sold, which corresponds to an increase of 8,8 % compared to the previous year.

This made China around 37 % of the company's global sales, reports Reuters.

It's a pity that my cryptos are not included here. Nevertheless, I think my shares have performed very well.

My strongest drivers were $TSLA (-0,53%)
$MSTR (-2,71%) and $NVDA (+0,66%)

Which stocks did you buy in 2024 to profit from in 2025?

My bets are $DLR (+0,07%)
$HODL (+0%) and the big cloud providers $MSFT (+0,09%)
$AMZN (+0%) and $GOOG (+0,1%)

As a 17-year-old student, my first (full) year on the stock market really went better than expected. Initially, I wanted to invest a small part of my "assets" and outperform my call money account - and I did so successfully. My TWR is 59.67%I think that's really impressive for a beginner.

Now to my investments:

My year got off to a rather negative start with the sell-off of Neotech-Metals $NTMC (+0%) a "tip" from a relative - with a 77% loss, I decided to see this investment as a learning opportunity, which in retrospect was worth it. At least I only lost €126 on my first bet.

Savings plan

Throughout the year, I had my savings plan running at €150 per month:

60€ in $XDWD (+0,17%) -> Later 100€ $VWCE (+0,17%)

45€ in $XMEU (-0,03%) -> Later 50€

45€ in $RBOT (+0,19%) -> Deducted

Since I moved my securities account from Deutsche Bank to ING in April, I no longer have to hold 3 stocks, but can focus on 2.

However, when I turn 18 in April '25, my portfolio will probably move to TR or Scalable.

Investments:

I also had several smaller investments this year $NVDA (+0,66%) investments this year, which I had chosen without any premonition, just because I like their graphics cards. But that was probably the first stroke of luck in my stock market "career".

I also bought more of them:

21.10. 5 x @ 127,45€

16.11. 2 x @ 134,11€

20.11. 3 x @ 139,63€

This brings me to a total of 20 shares and a price gain of 20.12%.

However, this position is slowly becoming too large for me, which is why I will probably realize partial profits soon.

Another new addition to my portfolio were 2 Tesla shares $TSLA (-0,53%) which I didn't even hold for a month, but I was able to take a short-term gain of 27.23%, i.e. €175, which really tastes good in such a short time.

The top winner for me this year was clearly the Apple share $AAPL (+0,19%) which brought me almost 43%. Fortunately, my parents support my interest in the stock market and gave me an Apple share for Christmas instead of an Apple product. In the time since I bought this share until today, it has actually gained 52%, which is of course a great increase in value for a gift. I also received the "bitcoin standard", which is a really great book so far!

So total return is 1632€, of which about 850€ realized.

Goals 2025:

> First, I will probably halve my Nvidia position so that I can buy my first car.

> Leave savings rate at €150 in months without income, increase drastically in months with salary

> More investments in individual shares

> First investments in Bitcoin (I know, volatile, but I'm very interested in the technology behind it)

> Even better financial education, especially with regard to investments

I try to save as much as possible and give up as little quality of life as possible. I am thrifty, but I also like to buy nice clothes or invest in friendships and family, because in the end that is still the most important thing in life!

With this in mind,

A successful year 2025 to all!
