March 2021: Spring at the stock market
Finally, spring has arrived! Hopefully it will now be the last mile, and it will not be long before the terraces can be opened. Spring has also arrived on the stock market, the AEX has risen by 6.5% in a month to over 700 points. This month I have withdrawn a lot of money from …
February 2021: new strategy on the stock market
This month my investments on the stock exchange are yielding more than my crowdlending investments again. But surprisingly, crowdfunding takes second place this month. Brickowner shows that equity crowdfunding could also generate good returns, although it depends of course on luck and the right choices. This month I will start with a new strategy on …
January 2021: stocks biggest driver in 2021 too
Various platforms indicate that they are looking forward to the implementation of the new European crowdfunding legislation, that they are making preparations to comply with it, but are also waiting for the national regulators to implement it. But I’m sure investors are even more eager for this. We still have to wait, however, because the …
December 2020: happy new year!
What a turbulent year 2020 was, I’ve rarely seen a year with so many ups and downs. It started dramatically with the fall of Envestio and Kuetzal. Envestio and Kuetzal were a wakeup call to me and other investors, P2P can give good results but you have to become and remain more critical. I think …
November 2020: end of crisis near? Stock markets seem to think so
As you can see below, the stock platforms have more than compensated for the decline in recent months. The increasingly positive reports about the impending vaccines give everyone hope that the crisis is almost over and that everything can get back to normal. Of course I hope so too, but I expect it will take …
October 2020: fluctuating stock market and stable P2P
The ongoing crisis shows that the stock market’s behavior cannot be predicted, except that it mainly goes down these days. Starting to invest here now, or investing more, seems more like Russian roulette.. However, it can be seen that investing in ETFs is much more stable and seems to be a better choice both in …
September 2020: a new platform
It has been a while since I joined a new platform, but I just registered at a new crowdlending platform. Since January there has been a lot of unrest, uncertainty and frustration in the market when it turned out that Envestio and Kuetzal were a scam. And we are still waiting to see which way …
August 2020: stocks still main source of income
This month my update is a day later. Yesterday I went out to dinner after work, we all need to do our bit to help the economy. The growth of my portfolio is increasingly leaning on the stock market. In the six months since I started there, my (provisional) profit has now risen above 10,000 …
July 2020: crowdfunding profit evaporated on the stock exchange
I withdrew money from different platforms this month, because I had more money there than the limit I chose for myself last month. In order to ensure more spread, and to make rational and objective choices, I set the limit at 5,000 euros per crowdlending platform. If there is more (or it grows above it) …
June 2020: P2P revenue back on the right level
Kuetzal and Envestio were declared bankrupt last month, and the action against Grupeer has started. If you look at the long term, it is ultimately good for the market to mature. As the platforms become more regulated, more self-regulated, and more transparent, the risks for investors ultimately decrease. However, as an investor it remains important …
