A Little Shopping Spree

I took advantage of today's slight dip to buy more of a few ETFs. I also bought some Ares Capital $ARCC (+0,18%) to lower the average cost.

On the other hand, I sold off the $SXYD (-2,3%) that wasn’t performing well enough for me.

The cashback and roundup from Trade Republic will now go toward $ASWM (+3,78%) , from which I’m hoping for some price appreciation in addition to the dividends.

It's a shame about the SXYD. It's pretty much the only CC that benefits from a stagnant index. Sure, you can't expect much in terms of price performance, but the distributions are steady.

@Dividendenopi "Profit" is relative. After just under a year, I'm more or less breaking even. In reality, it's probably more than that because the cashback from Trade Republic was essentially free money. With the " $ASWM," on the other hand, I'm already up 20%, though it's obviously much more volatile.

@Solitair That's a hot topic, although the "compensation for pain and suffering" is significantly higher 😉

@Beeferking76 What do you like so much about it?

Peter@Beeferking76

@Solitair Because management actively grants options on only 10–30% of the shares, the larger portion—which is uncapped—may benefit from rising stock prices

@Solitair Definitely not for growth investing

If I were 20 or 30, I'd only invest in the Nasdaq and emerging markets

With Ares $ARCC, you get a 10% dividend.
Think of it as daily/bonus income.
I’ve had it for 3 years now, so I’ve received 30%.
The share price keeps hovering around 16 euros.
In 2025, they were even above 20 euros (+35%).
In the long term, they’ll rise back to the dividend yield level.
You can’t go wrong with this.

@Smudeo I hope so. I've had them for a while now and have repurchased them every now and then.
