Hello Community,

As previously announced, I would like to give you a brief overview of the current changes in my portfolio today.

I keep my securities account with ING-DiBa.

There are fees for savings plans on individual shares in the amount of 1,75 % of the savings amount, while ETF savings plans are free of charge.

I also use an overnight deposit account, which unfortunately currently only pays 1,25 % interest.

Individual orders in direct trading are charged at 4.90 euros plus 0.25 percent of the investment amount if they are not part of a savings plan.

Sales in the last few weeks:

-ADM $ADM (+0.41%)

-Medical Properties $MPW (+0.08%)

-Virgin Galactic $SPCE (+0.2%)

- Alphawave $AWE (-1.37%)

Purchases this week:

-Rheinmetall (first purchase) $RHM (+0.11%)

-NU Holding (subsequent purchase) $NU (+0.39%)

My strategy for 2025:

In a nutshell:

Everything as always with me - savings plans and targeted individual purchases when the price and available cash are right.

This strategy has proven itself over the years and will remain my approach in 2025.

I have planned another sale when the share price is right and would like to buy DHL Group
$DHL (+0.89%) from the portfolio and invest the cash in Rheinmetall position.

Current savings plans (monthly):

-225 € ~ FTSE All World $VWCE (+0.36%)

-100 € ~ Tesla $TSLA (+0.08%)

-50 € ~ Microsoft $MSFT (-0.02%)

-50 € ~ Alphabet $GOOGL (+0.1%)

-50 € ~ Palantir $PLTR (+0.36%)

-25 € ~ Merck & Co. $MRK (+0.05%)

-25 € ~ Walmart $WMT (+0.04%)

-25 € ~ Allianz $ALV (+0.44%)

-25 € ~ RTX $RTX (+0.78%)

-25 € ~ Home Depot $HD (+0.12%)

-25 € ~ Apple $AAPL (-0.06%)

-25 € ~ Intel $INTC (+0.03%)

-25 € ~ Coca Cola $KO (+0.12%)

-25 € ~ McDonald's $MCD (+0.04%)

-25 € ~ Rheinmetall $RHM (+0.11%)

Current allocation by asset class in the portfolio:

-94,33 % Equities

-3,62 % Crypto

-2,05 % Gold

🔖 My approach to savings plans:

When I add a share to my savings plan, I always start with a basic investment (between €2,000 and €2,500) before I start with regular savings amounts.

I make sure that the share price is attractive at the time of entry - ideally I use a short-term dip.

Dividends received are always reinvested immediately, either through savings plans or targeted purchases.

Note on REITs (Realty Income and STAG):

Unfortunately, ING-DiBa does not offer monthly savings for REITs.

I therefore invest the dividends directly in my Allworld savings plan instead.

My position in Realty Income
$O (+0.15%) and STAG
$STAG (+0.2%) this year through individual purchases.

Watchlist with planned purchases:

-Euwax Gold 2 (additional purchase) $EWG2 (+0.47%)

-Palantir (additional buy) $PLTR (+0.36%)

-Nvidia (additional purchase) $NVDA (-0.45%)

-Reliance Industries (initial purchase) $RIGD (+0.72%)

-Aerovironment (initial purchase) $AVAV (+0.22%)

I hope you enjoyed this little insight into my portfolio.

I don't actually do that much, as I simply save my positions on a monthly basis and make targeted individual purchases.

P.S. I discover impressive portfolios on Getquin every day and keep coming across stocks that I am not yet familiar with.

The articles on various topics are also simply great.

Many thanks to the fantastic community and the daily "education"! 🫶

Best regards,

Michael

Hello Community,

I'm in the process of revising my portfolio and would like to get your opinions and advice. Here is my current thinking:

Portfolio allocation:

Equities (75%):

80 % ETFs (core investments):

MSCI World

NASDAQ 100

DAX

20% individual stocks:

Alphabet $GOOGL (+0.1%)

Apple $AAPL (-0.06%)

Alliance $ALV (+0.44%)

Ahold Delhaize $AD (+0.55%)

Coca-Cola $KO (+0.12%)

LVMH $MC (-1.44%)

Bonds (15 %)

Gold (5 %)

Bitcoin (3 %)

Cash (2 %)

Background

Investment objective:

I am 35 years old and aim for financial freedom at the age of 50 to 55, with a target of €2000 net per month in retirement.

Strategy:

A balanced portfolio construction that includes both high-growth companies and stable dividend stocks, supplemented by diversifications in ETFs, bonds, gold and Bitcoin.

Adjustment considerations:

To make my portfolio more robust, I plan to make the following changes:

Buy:

ASML $ASML (-0.43%) Leader in the semiconductor sector with great long-term growth potential due to trends such as AI and electromobility.

Johnson & Johnson (J&J) $JNJ (-0.09%) : Stable dividend stock (~2.5%), ideal as a defensive anchor in the healthcare sector.

Sell:

Ahold Delhaize $AD (+0.55%) : Good dividend growth, but limited growth prospects.

Unilever $ULVR (-0.38%) : Defensive character, but lower future potential compared to J&J.

Zalando $ZAL (-0.97%) Cyclical consumer stock with increased volatility and questionable growth path.

Coca-Cola $KO (+0.12%) : Good dividend, but limited growth opportunities - could be replaced by more innovative stocks such as ASML.

Questions for you:

1. how do you rate my new core allocation (MSCI World, NASDAQ 100, DAX)? Should I add anything?

2. do you think the inclusion of ASML and Johnson & Johnson makes sense?

3. what do you think of the sell candidates (Ahold Delhaize, Unilever, Zalando, Coca-Cola)? Would you do anything differently?

4. do you have any other ideas or recommendations on how I can make my portfolio more diversified and robust?

Thank you very much for your support and your opinions!

Hey everyone,

I'm still relatively new to the market & have been investing since the beginning of December. So far I have created four savings plans $IWDA (+0.36%) , $AAPL (-0.06%) , $SPGI (-0.23%) & $NVDA (-0.45%)

I've also experimented a bit with individual shares to get a feel for the market and to show some activity. However, I'm lacking a bit of a real strategy to really make a difference ^^

Do you have any tips that would benefit a beginner like me & that I should pay attention to? For example, tips on how to build up a really well thought-out strategy, which is not really the case for me at the moment :)

I'm looking forward to your experiences & opinions!

Hello everyone!

I'm Patrick, 28 years young and work in the IT sector. I've been on the stock market since the beginning of 2023 and have been a silent reader here for most of the time and have enjoyed following the informative contributions of some others. Now I would like you to evaluate my savings plans.

I am pursuing the following strategy $VWRL (+0.36%) and the $XMME (-0.19%) divided into 80/20. and three quality stocks: $BRK.B (+0.14%) ,$AAPL (-0.06%) and $ALV (+0.44%) - and finally gold: $WGLD (-0.83%)

I still buy individual stocks during the month. Depending on the market and the available capital.

What do you think? The aim is to continue to regularly invest all available funds in order to receive a nice dividend in the long term.

ps: I have just transferred my portfolio to TR, so I can't finalize and post this yet.
