Review of an exciting year on the stock market
Last year was a real milestone for me in many respects. Even though I have posted less recently, I have by no means been idle. On the contrary, I consistently implemented my "div & hodl" strategy and was able to achieve several personal goals at the same time. For example, I passed the CHF 25,000 mark - and shortly afterwards also crossed the psychologically important CHF 30,000 line!
My current strategy and dividend milestones
-Core portfolio (70/30): The core consists of two ETFs - an all-world ETF ($VWRL (-0,05%)) and an emerging markets ETF ($VFEM (+0,13%) ).
-Dividend targets: Since 11.12.24 my first target of CHF 250 per year has been ticked off. The next interim target is CHF 500, followed by CHF 750 up to the target of CHF 1,000 per year.
-CryptoIn addition to my ETF investments, I am continuing to save in crypto - a small but nice $BTC (-2,69%) -position via dollar-cost averaging (DCA).
Outlook: Where the journey is going
For the coming year, I plan to continue working towards my dividend targets and exceed the CHF 500 mark. I want to maintain the tried-and-tested 70/30 ratio, using every quarter or so for rebalancing. In addition, I'm staying on the ball with my BTC DCA approach - even though crypto is definitely not for the faint-hearted, for me it is part of diversification in small doses.
Conclusion
Patience, continuity and a clear plan: these are the ingredients that have helped me achieve my financial milestones this year. From the first dividend target (CHF 250/year) to the CHF 25k threshold to CHF 30k - it all goes to show that long-term investing still works best when you stick to your plan and invest steadily despite market fluctuations. I am looking forward to the next stock market year and am excited to see what hurdles we will overcome together as a community.
Stay invested and happy new year!
