...and the "Game" is just starting (starting to take off) - we are ready for "take-off" >>> Compounding interest starting kicking in :-)
The year 2018 has been "so far so good" (Backtest-Portfolio up more than +10%), but the interesting part will be the upcoming period: 2019 until 2029. Nearly a decade, in which the 15 stocks in this Backtest-Portfolio have to deliver again some resilience and/or leadership in their respective fields.
To give you a small insight: 15 stocks, "Many household-names" from the sectors Health, Technology, Industrials, Consumer-Brands & Co.
