So this week the corona cases in our country have risen to a level that requires stricter measures, I really hope the measures will be enough to keep the virus under control. Otherwise, we will have a hard couple of months ahead, which obviously will be bad news for the entire portfolio. This month I… Continue reading September 2020 Monthly Investment Report

Today is the first day of my 3-week holiday, which I’m looking forward to. I will be going on two trips, one to Eifel, Germany for a long weekend and the second for a week to a Landal park in the Netherlands.

This is good for the Dollar cost averaging strategy I have, because it allows me to lower my average buy… Continue reading March 2020 Monthly Investment Report

The beginning of 2020 has been great, I became a dad for the second time. Just before 2020 started, so that was an awesome start of the year! My research in investing has been somewhat slacking because of it, but I can’t think of a better reason. That’s why it was an easy decision to… Continue reading February 2020 Monthly Investment Report

It’s time for my first monthly writeup. Let’s see what progress I made in the first month of investing. I’m currently investing in four different types of investments; I’ve got a capital growth portfolio, index fund portfolio, a P2P lending portfolio, and a crypto portfolio.
