Price: 15,17
Realised profit: 0%
Reason sell:

Completely exited quickly. I had bought this ETF with a view to NFTs. Early this year, those NFTs started to get quite popular. Many of those NFTs have to be paid with Ethereum. Reason enough for me to buy this ETF. But since the invasion of Ukraine, I've seen NFT sales drop. People are now not thinking about picking up a new hype. It could well become a hype. But it is still too early to invest in this ETF based on that. I see cryptos and also stock markets making a bounce back today (temporarily bouncing up after a significant drop). With this ETF, I'll just use that to get out. We have also seen cryptos react negatively to the conflict in Ukraine. Due to the higher energy costs (oil), mining cryptos will also become more expensive or even no longer interesting. That too is a risk.

Reason bought:

This ETF or actually ETN (Exchange Traded Note) does not belong to any group. Reason to place this ETN in each group so that all ETF customers can take note of it. Maybe now it looks like I'm going to invest in cryptos. No, I've never done anything with cryptos myself and I'm not going to do it. So why did you buy this Ethereum crypto ETN? I expect NFTs to become very large. Now it is quite difficult to buy exactly that NFT that will generate a lot of money later on. Too big a risk for me. Nevertheless, I want to be able to profit from the great success that these NFTs are likely to become. After research I found out that almost all those NFTs use the Ethereum blockchain and have to be paid with Ethereum. The reason is that the Ethereum blockchain is extremely suitable for NFTs. The Bitcoin blockchain, for example, is not. Ethereum is currently the absolute market leader among NFTs as a means of payment with more than 95%. There will be alternatives. But it is likely that Ethereum will remain the market leader. So almost everyone who buys an NFT has to buy Ethereum first. If those NFTs become a success, Ethereum will rise sharply due to all those purchases. And that's the reason I'm buying this ETN. But there's more. The energy consumption of most cryptos is huge. Ethereum has the solution. With “the Merge” they will switch to a new type of blockchain in the course of this year. The energy consumption can then be about 1000 times lower and the transaction costs can therefore also be significantly reduced. So with investing in this Ethereum ETN I kill 2 birds with 1 stone. This year, Ethereum will become an extremely low-power crypto that will beat Bitcoin. And the main reason for me; I have a nice spot on the just departing NFT train. Two things are important for a significant increase in this ETN: NFTs must become a great success and even better a hype. Ethereum should remain one of the most widely used means of payment for buying an NFT.

SOLD

Type sell: Long term sell
ETF: iShares Global Infrastructure UCITS ETF
Purchase date: 30-10-2020
Price: 27,80
Realised profit: 17%
Reason sell:

The rise of this ETF on the announcement of the major US infrastructure plan was disappointing. The chance of a stock market correction has increased. At the beginning of last year, this ETF suffered a lot from the stock market decline. Reason to be careful now and take profit.

SOLD

Date: 24-11-2020
Type sell: Long term sell
ETF: AMUNDI World Energy ETF
Purchase date: 08-10-2020
Price: 179,04
Realised profit: 26%
Reason sell:

I had to think about this sale for a while. The 1-year return target was 70%. Now with 26% within 7 weeks sold. After vaccination, the demand for oil will rise a lot sometime around the summer of 2021. Then the oil price and this ETF can go up much further. The question then is whether I should wait and see. I have decided not to. I don't want to lose 26% profit made in less than 2 months. What I'm afraid of is that somehow there will be a delay in the vaccination. This will affect the oil price and this ETF a lot. In addition, OPEC remains an unpredictable factor.

SOLD

Date: 13-11-2020
Type sell: Long term sell
ETF: Vanguard All-World High Dividend Yield UCITS ETF
Purchase date: 29-10-2020
Price: 44,59
Realised profit: 10%
Reason sell:

It has gone up very fast in a short time. The chance of a temporary relapse is therefore high. Still, that's not the main reason I'm selling. The cause of the sharp increase was due to vaccine hope. I have no doubt that the new vaccine will work well. It will. However, it works with a method that has never been approved before. This may be a reason for not immediately approving this new type of vaccine. Postponement of approval will not do stock markets any good. The fact that the CEO has sold more than half of his shares is a very big red flag for me as an investor that I do not want to ignore. Reason to secure the nice profit achieved in just over 2 weeks.

Reason bought:

After the corona crisis, the economy will be stimulated. That will happen in many different ways. One of them will be that governments will invest in infrastructure. This will not happen right now. It is more likely from the second half of next year. Still, I want to get in now. Firstly, because many investors know that governments will invest in infrastructure after the corona crisis. I want to be ahead of that crowd. Secondly, because all kinds of plans could already be discussed in the near future on how to tackle the corona crisis. Investing in infrastructure will then be mentioned. So already got on. The first increase may come from the expectation that ... The second because the plans are in place. And the latter because those infrastructure companies will make more profit. But I don't expect the latter until 2022 because it will take a while before everything gets started. This ETF is therefore primarily a long-term investment.
