Hello everyone, with Donald Trump and Elon Musk in office, I'm expecting volatile times ahead. I have therefore carried out a check on my portfolio to determine how solid my foundation (core) still is.

The following criteria were used for the check

Quality check

The quality check examines shares for the quality of the business model and the stability of the balance sheet

Enduring qualities

The long-term indicator checks whether share prices are constantly rising.

Outperformer check

Every investor is confronted with the question of whether to invest money passively in ETFs or in individual shares. A share should rise by more than 10% per year for an investment to be worthwhile.

KUV monster

When companies are hyped and everyone knows about the quality of a company, the return potential is usually low. The top 5% of the most highly valued shares according to the KUV criterion are problematic.

The following companies from my portfolio stood out in this regard

buy and leave.

Alphabet $GOOG (-0,71 %) Modine Manuf. $MOD (-1,19 %) Chipotle $CMG (-1 %)

Microsoft $MSFT (-0,88 %) Copart $CPRT (-0,54 %) Vertex $VRTX (-0,43 %)

Constellation Software $CSU (-1,11 %) Man and machine $MUM (-1,11 %)

Corcept Therap. $CORT (-2,81 %) Tetra Tech $TTI (+2,14 %) TransDigm Group $TDG (-0,34 %)

IES Holding $IES ASML $ASML (-1,43 %)

Hello everyone,

At the end of last year, I published my "top picks list" here, in which I presented the stocks that I have put on my watchlist for 2024 and am also partially invested in (unfortunately not in all of them 😁).

At the time, I had compiled a list of stocks recommended by well-known analysts and put them through "my requirements profile". The original 100 stock ideas then became the list below. A year later, I'm looking back. This was the performance:

🟢 $TMUS (-1,86 %) +1,63%

🟢 Sterling Infrastructure: +100.68%

🟢 $CRM (-2,08 %) Salesforce: +28.14%

🟢 $RR. (+0,79 %) Rolls-Royce: +92.56%

🟢 $MOD (-1,19 %) Modine Manufacturing: +98.68%

🟠 $MHO (-2,24 %) M/I Homes: -1.46%

🟢 $META (+2,21 %) Meta: +68.52%

🟢 $MCD (-1,26 %) McDonalds: +0.14%

🟢 $MA (-2,03 %) Mastercard: +26.26%

🟢 $ISP (+0,6 %) Intesa Sanpaolo: +45.44%

🟢 $ISRG (+0,22 %) Intuitive Surgical: +59.62%

🟠 $GCT Gigacloud Technologies: -0.66%

🟢 $FDX (-0,54 %) FedEx: +11.11%

🟠 $LPG (+4,23 %) Dorian LPG: -47.70%

🟢 $COST (-0,63 %) Costco: +43.34%

🟢 $US1011372067 Boston Scientific: +63.23%

🟢 $BKNG (-2,09 %) Booking: +44.19%

🟠 $ABX (-1,53 %) Barrick Gold: -14.73%

🟢 $APP (-2,64 %) Applovin: +753.81%

🟢 $GOOG (-0,71 %) Alphabet: +39.28%

🟢 $AMZN (-1,09 %) Amazon: +48,05%

🟢 $ANF (+6,99 %) Abercrombie & Fitch: +69.99%

As you can see, my stock ideas have done quite well. $APP (-2,64 %) with +753.81% was of course a big hit. $DORIAN With -47.70% it was a pipe-dropper.

🔥 I'm currently working on my top picks list for 2025. If you're interested, I'll be happy to share it again and put it up for discussion!
