Feedback on ETF Portfolio

@StefanSuess
Since you have decided to use your investments to be part of your fun activity , my serious recommendation would be to try to learn how to invest in individual stocks. Restrict it to 5-10% of your portfolio though.

Reason is that you might not learn about stock picking in the end, you might not also outperform but you might end up learning about those companies, financial fundamentals, dynamics of certain industries etc. Such knowledge is not bad to gain.

There is a thread for stockpicking - have a look. In addition there is a Youtube channel called RationalInvesting, it’s also good.

My way of investing would seem almost suicidal to many outside viewers. For me it is boring at best. Once it started to get boring it started to make me a lot of money, anyhow. But that may take decades.

For me the turning point was mechanical investment strategies. If you have to decide about your risk level on a one-by-one base you will always end bad. Write down what you’ll have to do way before it happens and then, and that is the hardest part
 stick to it.

How do you know if the risk is right? You make a lot of money and you sleep at night!

For spicyness in investing, I mostly read (and sometimes act on) Swen Lorenz’s blog. A few says ago he published 49 weird shit ideas (sic!)

To me it is fascinating lottery and I play with only %0 of my assets.

Maybe you want to try options trading with a small percentage of your ‘boring’ portfolio? Sell a couple of TSLA puts and enjoy the ride. Better than Megacoaster in Europapark :slight_smile:

Edit: today would be a great day to start your TSLA rollercoaster!
