I'm using my latest milestone to introduce myself and my portfolio :)
I started investing in 2020 on my 18th birthday and initially tried out a lot of things, which led to me falling into the wrong trap more than once. I then significantly reduced my stock picking and initially focused on building a strong core with ETFs (mainly S&P500). I still have a few portfolio corpses from that time, which I am saving in order to fill my loss pot in the event of higher price gains in the future. I hardly have any opportunity costs due to the very low value.
Fast forward: I am 23 today and am delighted to have reached this milestone. Today, thanks to $IREN (-5,05%) the necessary boost.
I have invested over 50% of my portfolio in ETFs. Almost all of my savings plans are in these funds. Brand new in the savings plan and therefore still a very small position: the MSCI EM. I also have a few smaller positions in individual shares:
$ASML (-1,08%) I had the savings plan running at around €500 for a long time, but have now suspended the savings plan for the time being due to the high price gains. I am still holding the position.
$GOOG (-1,67%) When I bought in at €94 in 2022, I couldn't have dreamed of this price gain in such a short time. Nice surprise, so no savings plan here either for the time being, but I'm continuing to hold on because the figures have developed well in line with Google.
$IREN (-5,05%) I opened a small position here about a month ago. The share has performed very well since then. It's a somewhat riskier position, but I'm very confident in the current market environment, which is why it's only a small position.
$ADBE (-0,57%) New in the portfolio and the only single share I currently invest in on a monthly basis. As long as Adobe is around €300, I would like to continue to build up the position here. In my opinion, the (negative) impact of AI on the business model is massively overestimated.
The remaining individual shares $SQ (-1,78%) , $JD (-2,9%) , $CRSR (-1,1%) and $SE (-1,83%) are the aforementioned "portfolio corpses" from earlier times. As I said, I will sell them at breakeven, otherwise I will save these positions for the loss pot.
