Hello everyone with an Investors Mindset!

Thank you and welcome to another monthly update of my investment portfolio. As a small recap, I’ve started in June 2018 and build up my portfolio in P2P Investing to €10000. I’m nearing €11000 now within one year. Just let that sink in for a moment, and then compare it to your return on your savings account. I keep a healthy amount there for emergencies. But I’ve decided to continually (re)-invest the rest. That being said, I’ve strengthened my Stock Investments to €8000 this month. A lot of exciting stuff there too, with a lot of earnings being reported of stocks I own, plus early this month my first dividends!

As we are coming to a steady amount of readers I also want to launch an idea. Would you be interested in me supporting a charity? First I could do a poll and give a couple of options. Then I can show an actual investment in it, for example €100. We could also set-up a fund where our readers can assist that I will invest fully, with screenshots. As I think receiving things is great, but giving back and helping our planet in doing so is also important. Feel free to leave your comments below, for next month I could potentially include a poll to which charities as I have some in mind.

Here are the numbers of April 2019:

Hello to all with an Investors Mindset!

Thank you all for joining me on another update of my portfolio. I’m proud to say that 10% is really the name of the game here. That means, almost all my starting platforms have reached the first milestone of 10% interest on my initial investment.

Granted, some have reached this with a bonus of some kind, secondary market trading, … but none the less I’ve started this journey in June 2018 and now less than one year later almost every platform has reached €100 interest on the initial €1000 investment (or equivalent).

And I must say this is a proud moment for me. It also means that all the platforms I decided on in this journey are still going strong and stable without any dark clouds ahead. Now time to let the compounding effect do its thing and hopefully in the next 10 months I have another 10% on top of my initial investments. My portfolio is complete now with my maximum of €10.000 invested and here are the numbers for March 2019:

Hello to all with an Investors Mindset!

First of all, let me welcome you to the new and improved website, directed mostly to investment methods which are much better than putting your money on a normal savings account and let inflation beat you down every year. And a new website, requires a new intro! Pages are still under construction and will be finalized during this month.

My initial website (solidcore.be) was mostly a domain I still had available from my own business in the past. As the blog was getting more traffic and attention, I thought it needed a more professional approach. I also took this chance to move over to WordPress as CMS – which gives me more options and flexibility than the previous one.

Anyhow, I’ll make a full post about the idea behind this website and the goal later this month. Stay tuned. But for now – let’s dive straight into the numbers.

Hello fellow alternative investment seekers!

I can’t really grasp that January has ended already… Where did this month go? I have so many projects to finish this year, which most haven’t even started yet and now I only have 11 months left? Ah well, worries for another day. Today is reporting the interest returns day, much more fun than speaking about work!
​
So let’s dive right into it, January brought in EUR103,30, so still above the triple digits goal with the total account value jumping above EUR8.000. Please find the numbers below.

Hello fellow alternative investment seekers!

Thank you for joining in reading the blog again in the new year!

So let me start with wishing you all the best for 2019, a lot of financial wisdom and success and hopefully a great return on your investments.

Yesterday I was mostly with family & friends so I apologise for the delay in posting. Looking at the traffic to the blog, many were doing the same so I hope you all had a great holiday season.
​
Let’s start with the update to my current portfolio – where as mentioned last month the interest broke three digits! Really happy to start the new year with these monthly interest returns from now on being above EUR100! And of course by the compounding effect should go up even more – aside from future platforms/deposits.

Hello fellow alternative investment seekers!

Yet another month has passed… You all know what that means; incoming money!
Well,… not really as most of the incoming interests are spread out over the month, but at least now I can report about the month of November to you all!

I must say I can get used to this, checking the Crowdlending platforms every few days and finding out I’m a few euro richer without having to do anything. I hope you all get excited by hearing this and get excited for the same goals. This is a world where normal people like us can help each other / local businesses / the planet in general. It’s not something our current banking system likes, but that system is built on “fake” money. At least this is based on real money, money from the people, and I think will be here for a long time to come. And as time goes by very quickly, so do those few euro’s which turn into solid returns.

Let’s dive into the numbers of this month!

Hello fellow alternative investment seekers!

And happy Halloween/All Saint’s Day/… for those that celebrate it.

Time really does fly and we are nearing the end of the year. As my initial goal was to invest up to EUR10000in different platforms and I think around year end I will be able to start investing again.

The idea is to maybe invest a bit more in Envestio, as this is currently outperforming the other platforms and add one or two more to keep diversifying the risks. I have 3 platforms in mind with around 15% returns. So more investigation in those will determine which to me feels the most comfortable choice.
​
I had hoped to do this a bit sooner, but then I had some unexpected investments to do on my apartment which I decided to take a bit further than initially planned and that set me back around EUR15000 for new windows, new roof and new boiler/heater.

But first off, please find the results of this month below:

Hello fellow alternative investment seekers!
​
Let me first start with an apology as to why my last post was 1,5 months ago and explain the reason why this is a combined update of August & September after the overview of the current state of my platforms.
I started with €5500 in the second half of June 2018:
