First post

My First blog :) The main inspiration for me starting an investing blog came after reading Wyatt Earpin sijoituspäiväkirja. Im also a finnish bloke like Wyatt but i decided to write in english for practising my skills with the language. I also have a higher change to get readers and more starting investors might find some of my findings usefull. I will try to update here what changes i have made to my portfolio once a week.

So i recently started my more active investing with stocks and ETFs. First i had to choose a broker. First i narrowed my alternatives down to EQ and Nordnet. Nordnet is the cheaper but EQ offers more services. When i planned what i need from broker, i found Nordnet to satisfy my needs.

My strategy is to buy more stocks and ETF at steady phase for couple of years. Now i have bought these securities:

Amanda Capital (stock)
DB X-trackers Brazil (ETF)
DB X-trackers Emerging markets (ETF)
Lyxor New Energy (ETF)
Nordex (stock)
Powershares Cleantech (ETF)
Powershares Global clean energy (ETF)
Sunways (stock)

Amanda capital is a capital investing company so that will give me some diversification and durring last year they have paid quite good dividends also.

DB X-trackers Brazil will(hopefully) give me some of the wealth of this growing country in south america. A month after i bought this, Brazil found more oli so it is not looking too bad.

Lyxor New Energy , Powershares Cleantech and Powershares Global clean energy are ETFs,Exchange-traded funds of renewable energy and other clean technology. I think i do not have to tell you why i think these etfs currently good investments. BTW Powershares Cleantech has currently a bit more reasonable Price/earnings ration than most "clean" ETFs.

Nordex is wind turbine manufacturer from germany. And Sunways builds solar energy systems and makes inverters for solar energy. These companies are not too overpriced they might give better results over time than those ETFs.

I learned that a lucrative buying time for a single stock is after dividends dip. I learned that with Amanda and stock fell 14% after dividends. This is not a rule but in most cases stock will drop after dividends.
