Sold Stocks during December 2022

 

Hmmm... In the end of November the high inflation, prices for gas an electricity was getting to me and my thoughts were as follows. I want to get rid of RWE since it has increased too much and I'm not overly joyed about their energy production so then I might as well balance the massive share price gain by getting rid of some long standing bad investments (German banks!) in my German broker account. So I did.

Secondly... The dollar is high, inflation should lead to higher prices in the fast food chains and people have less spending power meaning they should (but will they though) reduce how much they spend in the fast food chains. I should potentially not have sold off McDonalds since they are not a fast food chain, however, property prices are also going down. I'll keep an eye on McDonalds moving forward.
