This month was a month of extremes, we had snow and ice to skate on and we had temperatures of 19 degrees Celsius. The extremes were also visible in my portfolio, I had a huge run-up and at the and of the month we experienced a big dip in stocks and crypto, up to -25%. Ouch! Let’s see what happened to the portfolio and if we still managed to get this month in green.

Index Fund & Stock Portfolio
A lot has happened this month; I had some old orders in my account, which almost all hit because of the big pullback on a lot of stocks. I also made my first bad purchase, so let’s start with that… I bought Ballard Power Systems ($BLDP) because I was expecting it to grow short term. I bought 10 stocks at $36.55 on February 3rd; I wanted to sell them at $45-50 as a short trade, it grew to $40.99 and then the company brought a lot more shares on the market at $37.00, which caused the stock to drop a lot. I will continue to hold for now, because the fundamentals still seem strong.
I also bought some dividend stocks, 7 $UNA (Unilever) at €44.745, 24 $GOLD (Barrick Gold) at $19.75 and 15 $AD (Ahold Delhaize Koninklijke) at €22.08. I’m really happy with these buys, although most of them have dipped a little lower as of now.

Crypto Portfolio
I said I wanted to test more platforms like BlockFi, so this month I created an account for Swissborg. I deposited €50 and bought USDC to receive interest, and when bitcoin has a correction, I will probably use it to buy BTC. Meanwhile, it will yield me 10.53%.
On top of that, I received interest from BlockFi.
Celsius is still on my list to test, but as you can see, I’m trying Swissborg first!
