Does this now mean that the stock market crash of the century is practically just around the corner ![]()
Congratulations anyway! while I put on my helmet and fasten my seatbelt in preparation..

Almost unnoticed, the total return of the portfolios exceeded 100%. Practically all of that is return from the OST, which has surged over 80% since 2020.
In reality, the figure should be even higher, but I once deleted one Nordnet portfolio, and apparently, that portfolioâs returns have also disappeared. However, it was the main portfolio for some years, practically until the launch of the OST. Now, the return history generally starts from the beginning of 2018, when it should probably be from 2017, and until 2020, the returns are from the secondary portfolio.
The next big milestone would probably be for more than half of the portfolioâs capital to be returns. Thatâs not too far off either, in the end.
This is a bit unpredictable business. Over 19% in a year. This dummy has clearly beaten the index. Inderesâ professional team is in the red. Well, yeah, sometimes even a blind hen finds a grain⊠But Iâve been doing this for 20 years now. Iâm a pessimist, with my feet on the ground. But could some intuition develop for these things, as it has gone quite well in my opinion, just from a chainsaw-man background. And yet already over 700k in the pot. Well diversified. Lately, a relatively bold entry into chip-related things, but also Nordea, Mandatum, Neste⊠have hit the mark. In recent years, Iâve also learned lessons: Talvivaara, GM, etc.
I have, Iâd say, a traditional portfolio. Raw materials and the scent of pine since 2009, with a little something to nibble on and something to wet the whistle on the side.
Aggressive holding; well, I have sold something from there occasionally.
Very little involved in technology or the pharmaceutical industry, even though Iâve been pounding the keyboard for over 40 years. A few years ago, I day-traded Nokia when the stock price bounced up and down and I happened to have time to monitor it.
Return since inception 868%, since the beginning of this year 18.02%, 3 months 23.68%, and last month 7.08%.
There would have been opportunities for even better results, but work tends to limit this hobby sometimes.

My goal is apparently to support smart investors who learn from their mistakes and earn their returns. Thatâs why I take their losses and donate turnaround companies to them - I am a true peopleâs capitalist. ![]()
Of course, more important than the returns of the entire investment history is YTD, and it is still strongly in the green:

July is now over and the rates were rising, even though Novo Nordisk was still underperforming.
July 2025: +3.26 %
Year to date: +7.59 %
12 months: +2.68 %
2 years: +22.43 %

Even though a deal was now reached with the EU regarding the tariff situation, the markets will still be in turmoil. Germany will face a recession again this year, so it cannot but have an impact on Finland too. No changes are expected regarding Russia in the near futureâŠ

Rollercoaster life, dealing with speculators keeps the blood flowingđ€
YTD +33.5%.
Only ETFs. The nuclear technology side is radiating strongly.
There is exposure through ETFs to over 1000 stocks; the only Helsinki-listed stock among them is Kone.
NN isnât cutting into my profits.
Now Iâm also at a loss for my entire investment history, if you also consider crypto and PYN Elite. PYN Elite is already over fifteen percent in profit for me. ![]()
YTD is stubbornly still in profit, thatâs the most important thing, at least when the returns for the entire investment history are in the red.
Itâs still possible that it too will slip into the red during this earnings season.



Today was a better day for the portfolio, then.
In my portfolios, there isnât (and wonât be) anything exotic and/or epic. Well, that will then show in the returns too.
In AOT, just over half in stocks, the rest in ETFs.

In OST, only Finnish (called boring) stocks


It has gone quite well now.
I checked my total investment returns for Nordnet from Nordnet:
390%, luckily in profit
In euros, 573417.
I guess something is still missing; I surprisingly found a Russia/emerging markets investment from Seligson that was directly there at Seligson. I had forgotten about it, 22k. And Russian investments are locked.
Iâve sometimes thought, when people ask about this hobby, what the risk is and other smart questions⊠For me, the certain risk would have been to lose over half a million in profitsâŠ
And itâs been fun to follow! Thanks to the Inderes community!
Hopefully youâve held onto Palantir! Iâm not really sure about Tesla; I myself dumped them at the point when the stock price took a hit from every one of Muskâs posts.

Let it be noted here that today the combined return of the portfolios (AOT + OST) exceeded ten thousand euros ![]()
Hereâs a summary of this yearâs rather wild ride for my stock portfolio. I probably havenât learned much, even though a lot has been lost, but in the last six months, I managed to turn my luck around and get the wind in my sails from the pit I was in.


I really burned my fingers with Neste, as I just refused to sell and couldnât accept my losses and give up in time. I bought every dip until Neste was the only stock in my entire portfolio ![]()

Around âŹ10, I sold everything because I couldnât stand looking at it anymore. My nerves gave out, so to speak. I went all in on Evolution AB, the live casino money machine, which at the time was incredibly undervalued and oversold in terms of its share price. From that, in a few months, nice returns and everything sold off at 880 SEK per share. Replaced it with Novo Nordisk in several batches until that too was about 80% of the entire portfolio ![]()
Didnât have to wait long with this one, and now itâs showing a 20% return, even though my position briefly dipped by -10%, which felt quite unpleasant, but luckily only for a moment.
Iâve already lightened my Novo position enough that its share is now âonlyâ half of my portfolio.
My portfolio at the time of writing:
±-------------------±----------+
| Stock | share(%)|
±-------------------±----------+
|Terveystalo | 15% |
| Betsson | 10% |
| Evolution AB | 25% |
| Novo Nordisk | 50% |
±-------------------±---------+

For the first time in my investment career, my portfolio went into positive territory (at least temporarily)..

Round celebrations are approaching. Now the return is 396%. Could probably celebrate somehow when itâs +400%. Maybe drink a Fanta. Also, the 750k (thousand euros) limit is approaching.
As a low-wage earner, itâs amusing to watch when yesterdayâs daily gain was over 8k (thousand euros). If the rise continues, a million will start approaching in the coming years. Nordnet customer since about 2008. This has been fun!
Congratulations! ![]()
Not because you went into the green, which inevitably happens âeventuallyâ for someone who is long. But because you gained strong immunity against crashes early in your investing career and still persistently stayed in. Starting during a downturn is great timing - you immediately got good stuff cheaper!
This experience will be valuable when you notice your portfolio has lightened more than the value of your house in three weeks. Then your finger must not hesitate on the BUY button.
