This is a German-language YouTube podcast episode (Episode 101) in which Mike Andes and a co-host review Mike’s decision to move from individual stocks to mostly ETFs about one year earlier. Mike reports keeping a largely index-based ETF portfolio (tickers referenced: IVV, QQQ, VT, SPY, Russell-related funds), adding roughly 15% allocation to gold and silver, and achieving ~17% portfolio return over the past twelve months while noting that the S&P rose ~18.3% and the Dow ~11.1% in the same period. The hosts also run a small experiment (a $3k Roth IRA mirroring Mike’s ETF picks), discuss how the ‘Magnificent 7’ concentrate market returns, express concerns about high market P/E ratios, and later switch to practical business strategy for Augusta (shifting toward newer trucks due to total cost-of-ownership, depreciation, tax incentives and longer-term commercial planning).
