VOS — Dividend & Growth Play | Target 1 Hit, Target 2 in Sight First Entry: €40 (2020) Second Entry: €53 (March 2025) Current: €79.50 Unrealized Gain (2020): +98.8% Dividends Captured: €4.70/share Total Return (2020 entry): +110.5% Target 1: €83 ✅ Hit Target 2: €99.70 🎯 Only +25% away Target 1 is in the bag. Target 2 is now within striking distance, just **+25.4%** from current levels. That said, I'm not fully confident we get there. This infrastructure play could come under pressure as #France and #Germany continue to mismanage resources with increasingly #bizarre #political decisions and #narratives playing out across Europe. But here's the bull case: trains will always run. The tools, tracks, and infrastructure components will always be needed. And #Vossloh is well-positioned in Asian markets, if I remember correctly, that exposure could sustain their growth trajectory regardless of #European dysfunction. I don't hold any shares anymore, exited way too early. But I track this one closely for two reasons: 1. It was a cornerstone of my #Dividend Playbook 2. A friend still holds shares, so I keep an eye on it for him Recent fundamentals remain strong: Q3 EBIT up +13.4%, €600M raised for the Sateba acquisition, and growing recognition as a climate-tech play in sustainable transport infrastructure. One I got right on the thesis, even if I didn't ride it all the way. Target 2 looks achievable, the question is whether European headwinds slow it down. #dividendplay #stockpicks @ForexTherapy
⛏️ SQM — Long-Term Lithium & Dividend Play Approaching Target 1 **Entry:** $33.57 *(August 2024)* **Current:** ~$79 **Unrealized Gain:** **+135%** **Dividends Captured:** ~$0.40/share **Target 1:** $115 *(72% of the way there)* **Target 2:** $405 *(long-term thesis)* Mining plays test your patience. The CapEx is enormous, projects take years to become profitable, and the volatility is relentless. Every position I've held in this sector has been a slow grind, SQM is no exception. But here's the thing: global lithium demand projections haven't changed. EVs, grid storage, and electrification are accelerating. Chile's Atacama salt flat remains one of the lowest-cost lithium sources on the planet, and the recent Codelco-SQM joint venture approval strengthens their long-term position. Target 2 looks unrealistic *today* but zoom out 5-10 years and it's not crazy if lithium supply tightens and demand follows projections. Approaching first target. Will reassess at $115 for partial profit-taking. This remains one of my top picks in the sector. 🔋 #ev #lithium #dividendplay #dividend #stockpicks #mining #bitcoin #btc #nostr #plebchain #pleb #boost #stacksats #lightning #zaps #plebs @ForexTherapy
🎯 #AEO Trade Closed — Target Hit + Dividends Captured Entry: $10.41 (July 24, 2025) Exit: $25.18 Capital Return: +141.9% Dividends Captured: $0.25/share (2 quarters) Total Return: +144.3% Textbook dividend play execution. Captured both the October and January distributions while riding the full price recovery. With the target reached, I'm taking at least 50% off here. Last ex-div was January 9th, so we're fully clear to liquidate without missing any upcoming payout — giving us flexibility to reload on retracements and build a fresh position ahead of the next ex-dividend date. Clean setup, clean execution. Price appreciation + passive income = the combo. 💰 #dividend #investing #stockpicks #dividendplay #exit #bitcoin #btc #nostr #plebchain #pleb #boost #stacksats #lightning #zaps #plebs @ForexTherapy
