What does it really take to outperform the World on an annual basis?

After a brief discussion—which wasn’t really a discussion at all—I came to the conclusion that four titles would be enough for me to hold my own against the World. Of course, that was just an excuse on my part to $RKLB (+0,66%) add a few more @Get_Rich_or_Die_Tryin

Well, I then decided to add 3 more titles.

$NBIS (+0,44%)
$PNG (-3,56%) And $ONDS (+2,72%)

Today, a little late, I invested 20k in the experiment.

I’m curious to see how the portfolio performs. I’ve also made it public on 212 in case anyone’s too lazy to enter the four stocks themselves.

As I mentioned this morning, the stop-loss has now been triggered, and I've doubled my position as a result. Let's see what happens.

$ONDS (+2,72%) reported a 67% increase in revenue compared to the previous quarter in its Q2 results and raised its forecast to $525–550 million for the fiscal year. Some analysts view this quite positively, even though the company missed its EPS target. For example, Ladenburg Thalmann has set a price target of >$20, while Oppenheimer has set a target of $18—both of which would represent a solid upside.

The acquisition of Cyberhawk is considered complete, and the acquisition of Aran Defense was announced, which is expected to be finalized in Q3.

Ondas also has approximately $1.4 billion in cash and reports a backlog of $757 million. The only downside is the missed EPS of -$0.19 compared to expectations of -$0.10.

I will therefore consider increasing my position here later today. Political tailwinds should also be strong at the moment, as seen in Germany following the recent incident in Leipzig.

Edit: Placed a stop-loss order at €7.55.

I'd also like to send warm greetings from my vacation in Sardinia ☀️🏝️

$ONDS (+2,72%)

Ondas is on the rise. Would you buy more right now, or wait for the earnings report first?

stocks that I hold as long-term positions, even though they’ve been under pressure and are very volatile.

First up is $ONDS (+2,72%) , which announced another acquisition today.

Lake Street has maintained its “buy” rating on Ondas (NASDAQ: ONDS) at “Buy.” The price target is $19,000

Prior to this assessment, 8 analysts rated Ondas stock “Buy” and 0 rated it “Hold.” There were 0 “Sell” recommendations.

You can find the analysts’ consensus estimates and price targets for Ondas hier. For more news on Ondas, click hier.

Ondas’s stock price closed at $7.41 at the end of official trading. The stock’s performance over the past month was -28.060%, and over the past 12 months it was +323.430%.

According to Investing Pro the Fair Value for Ondas is $6.487. This corresponds to a downside risk of 14.230%. InvestingPro rates the uncertainty regarding Ondas’s fair value as “high.”

Even bad months are part of the process.

June was the weakest month of the year, with a return of -9.99%. 📉

This was driven by the following stocks, which not only had a very bad month but are also among the largest positions in the portfolio:

$ONDS (+2,72%) down 37% 📉

$IREN (+0,15%) at -27% 📉

$PNG (-3,56%) down 21% 📉

$ETH (-1,01%) down 19% 📉

$BTC (-0,49%) down 17% 📉

…and a few others. The list of losers is long in June.

The following stocks, in particular, saved me from a double-digit negative return: $DE000LS9VVV3 (-4,63%) from @Krush82 as well as my own EU AI Backbone strategy.

Hopefully, the coming month will be better.

Here’s a quick update on Trading212.

I opened the account on August 25. So far, I’m up 37.7%, which is actually pretty decent.

In the meantime, updating, selling, and rebalancing are all working quite well. Most recently, at the beginning of June, $RKLB (+0,66%) and $ONDS (+2,72%) were removed from the portfolio after 120% and 65% gains. New additions include $PLTR (-0,35%) and these, which aren’t shown here $MGNT (hope I linked to the right Magnite 😀)

The current portfolio looks like this. The goal remains clearly a return of more than 20% per annum. The strategy I’m following isn’t necessarily based on stubbornly chasing trades or FOMO buys, but rather on a mix of gut feeling, analysis, and conviction. I picked up World, so to speak, at the start of the new Pie during the dip in March.

Here are the current stats for my Pie after just under 3 months. My weekly savings rate in the Pie is currently €200.
