I've been around here for a while, but have never posted anything - so: pants down! 😄

I currently invest:

• 800 € in the $ISAC (+0,07%) - which should form my "secure foundation" in the medium term and grow to approx. 60% of my portfolio.
• 200 € in $BTC (-3,41%) - as an admixture and long-term risk investment.

I have also made a few individual purchases and "gimmicks" to gain experience, but the focus is currently on expanding the portfolio. $ISAC (+0,07%) .

In addition, smaller amounts (€25-50) are invested in shares where I see potential - or simply have hope 😉:

• $AIXA (-0,75%) (AIXTRON)
• $AMD (-0,73%) (Advanced Micro Devices)
• $HIMS (-4,66%) (Hims & Hers Health)
• $CRSP (-1,19%) (CRISPR Therapeutics)
• $DRO (-0,32%) (DroneShield)

I am also betting on some sectoral ETFs in areas that I find exciting. At the moment, things are looking a bit bleak, but in the next 10 to 20 years I can imagine that these areas will do well in terms of sustainability:

• $HDRO (-0,14%) (hydrogen)
• $INRA (-0,78%) (green infrastructure / energy)
• $GLGG (-0,52%) (water supply)

I am a complete career changer - I had zero contact with shares or ETFs before and am now building up my knowledge bit by bit.

My professional background is in research (PhD in chemistry 🧪), so I'm no stranger to analysis, critical thinking and numbers - just not in the financial sector so far.

What interests me in particular:

➡️ How did you build up your knowledge of investing?

➡️ Do you have any book recommendations, sources, YouTubers, blogs or podcasts that have helped you?

➡️ What do you think people should pay particular attention to when they are new to investing?

I'm looking forward to tips, exchanges & maybe even an aha moment or two!

Monthly savings plan :) :) :)

Hydrogen ETF - the hype of tomorrow💧?

Hydrogen is expected to be a key component of global energy and climate policy in the coming decades. Within the industry, the households as well as on the traffic of the roads the CO-2 emissions have increased & are to be reduced now💨.

The "green" hydrogen can be a cornerstone here & according to studies, the production capacity should increase from 2019-2030 from 40,000 - to 5.7 million tons annually🌍.

Which title for the depot🧐?

Hydrogen companies such as Nel or even Plug Power are players in the industry & could benefit from the increasing demand. In addition, there are 2 ETFs that also target this industry🤨:

1 l L&G Hydrogen Economy UCITS ETF.

🎯 32 positions

💰0.49% TER

🏦 €393 million Fund size

2 l VanEck Vectors Hydrogen Economy UCITS ETF

🎯 25 positions

💰0.55% TER

🏦 45 Mio € Fund size

The ETFs offer us the opportunity to spread the risk more easily & not have to focus on individual companies. Thus, we can "more easily" map the industry with the awareness that the non-profitable companies of the industry are also included🥸.

Do you hold hydrogen ETFs or do you prefer to focus on individual stocks?🎯

What do you think of the industry, does it have future potential?🚀

WISH QUESTION FOR THE BUDDYS🤪

Would you like to have a small ETF presentation on one of the stocks with all its key fundamentals?⚡️
