Beat the S&P500 Challenge


I have been thinking about which stocks I could use to beat the S&P500 index.


After a lot of research, I have now decided on 20 American shares, which I will save 100 euros/month each in savings plans from 01.04.2024. As I didn't want any overlaps/duplications with my ETFs (World and Consumer Staples), I chose companies from the second tier. Perhaps one or two of the stocks will also be of interest to you 😉


The portfolio will contain the following shares:


$AME (-2,03 %)


$APH (-2,65 %)


$ANET


$AJG (-0,24 %)


$CMG (-2,32 %)


$FIX (-1,24 %)


$EME (-0,8 %)


$IT (-0,04 %)


$HUBB (-0,46 %)


$INTU (-0,77 %)


$KAI (-0,83 %)


$KLAC (-2,22 %)


$MMC (-0,1 %)


$MEDP (-1,86 %)


$MOH (-1,41 %)


$RSG (-0,96 %)


$SNPS (-1,05 %)


$URI (-1,3 %)


$VRTX (-0,52 %)


$GWW (-0,74 %)



I know that it will be difficult to beat the S&P500, but I still want to try...

@PowerWordChill It was important to me to find good and profitable companies and not to rely on an ETF again

Why don't you just buy NASDAQ 100

@Beeftek because I don't want to drag along any duplicates or underperformers.

Thanks for your post and good preparatory work. I also like many of these stocks very much (I already had three in my savings plan) and your post has inspired me to add a few more. Thank you for that 😘
Would you like to keep us up to date from time to time on where you currently stand? I would love that.

@zatira Sure, no problem if you're interested, I'll be happy to do it...

I only started in May and not in April as announced.

I buy 10 shares in alphabetical order on the 1st of the month and 10 shares on the 15th of the month (as I enter everything manually, it's easier for me).

The counterpart is $VUSA, which is saved at 50 euros on the 1st and 15th of the month.

The status after 2 months is as follows:

My 20 shares: +3.89%
VUSA: +4.67%

How did you come across these shares? What were your criteria for the selection?

@flowriii To cut a long story short:

Data from recent years, future prospects and an understanding of the business model.

Could it be that you have only selected stocks that are not "the big names" and performed very well last year? Or how did you come to this selection?

@Bavarianholder21 as written, 2nd tier, no hype stocks, profitable for many years, very good future prospects, understandable business model...

Interesting selection of companies. I have two of them in my portfolio and a few on my watchlist.

Good luck with the challenge 👍

@Testo-Investor feel free to call me a dreamer....🤣🤣🤣🤣

...you probably didn't even click on a stock, otherwise you would have noticed that EVERY SINGLE one of these listed stocks has beaten the S&P500 in recent years 😜

Hello, what is the current status?

@But_the_Stock_Picked_Me see repost from just now

great selection of shares... unfortunately all too expensive :(

@Memo0606 you almost never get them cheap. Molina and Vertex are currently cheaply valued.

@Pezi interesting companies, can you think of any others? ferrari should slide down even further😃

Zwischenfazit?
