Congrats on getting started at 18, that's awesome timing. I went down a bit of a rabbit hole on this when I was comparing different platforms last year and there's honestly a ton of options depending on what you're prioritizing. For the Roth IRA, you can't really go wrong with the big names like Fidelity or Vanguard.
They've got zero account minimums now and pretty much every fund you'd want. Interface can feel a bit clunky if you're used to modern apps but they're rock solid and have been around forever. On the taxable side, if you're really new to picking stocks and want something more beginner-friendly, I came across Alinea Invest recently and it looks like it could work well for someone just starting out.
It's designed specifically for beginners and Gen Z investors, with a chat interface that explains stuff as you go instead of throwing a bunch of charts and jargon at you. You can start small and it basically helps automate picks while teaching you why it's doing what it's doing, which seemed pretty useful for getting over that initial learning curve without feeling overwhelmed. I also looked at Robinhood which obviously has the simple interface going for it, but they've had some controversey over the years.
Webull is another one that gets mentioned alot for active traders but might be overkill if you're just building a long-term portfolio. Main thing is just to start somewhere and not let analysis paralysis stop you from getting that first dollar invested. The difference between platforms matters way less than the difference between investing and not investing at your age.

What’s the thought process behind investing in these companies? You should be picking stocks based on research you’ve undertaken so in hindsight you should be telling us these stocks are a good pick because of X, Y & Z. I think you’ve just picked stocks based on their name rather than doing research. Always do research and if you haven’t got the time or effort to do that then invest in ETF’s instead would be my advice. It’s hard to beat the market so ETF’s are your best bet based on the assumption you’ve done no research when it comes to individual stock picking

Z lord!

This is part of it but you don't even have to get all doom and gloom to see why BTC for trade makes sense. If Country X wants to trade with Country Y the only option is the EuroDollar. Trading in BTC completely eliminates that as you can trade in BTC and convert to your local currency immediately without a middleman. Today the EuroDollar handles that, you go from X currency, to Y, then to Z, then do Euro or Dollar, the other trading partner does the same. What BTC changes for trade is immense.

MrBeast buys Gen Z bank just weeks after BitMine's $200M bet

Also I didn’t understand any of what you said, and I’m not sure if it is because I didn’t get enough vaccines or if it’s one of those things where Gen Z talks and I don’t know what they are saying because they talk stupid.

Punkt Nummer 1: Du scheinst die Börse als reines Spielcasino zu betrachten, was sie sowohl auf sehr tiefer wie auch sehr oberflächlicher Ebene auch ist. Aber genau wie man "den Kapitalismus" als Mechanismus verstehen kann Ressourcen innerhalb einer Gesellschaft zu verteilen (sprich: Brot wird knapp in Stadt X, Preis steigt, es wird mehr Brot gebacken), so kann man die Börse als Verteilungsmechanismus von Kapital verstehen. Die Leute vergessen oft, dass man \*eigentlich\* an die Börse geht um Kapital einzusammeln. Das heißt man kann ein (hoffentlich produktives) Unternehmen auch ohne viel eigenes Kapital gründen. Diese Grundidee ist erstmal per se eine *gute Sache* und sie funktioniert auch im Großen und Ganzen. Vor allem ist uns leider bisher keine bessere Alternative eingefallen.
Punkt Numero 2: "KI wird nicht die Rendite erhöhen". Ich glaube nicht, dass irgendein Prozess der es ermöglicht viele Arbeitskräfte zu einem gewissen Teil durch eine Maschine zu ersetzen, die Rendite \*nicht\* erhöhen wird. Klar, viele KI-Firmen werden bankrott gehen aber in Summe wird KI ermöglichen bestimmte Prozesse zu automatisieren, bei denen das vorher nicht ging.
"Vermehrt Krieg auf der Welt": Das stimmt nicht. Es gibt weniger Krieg auf der Welt. Oder sagen wir lieber: Die Kriege werden im Großen und Ganzen eher kleiner und regionaler. Wir haben halt seit 1945 keinen "richtigen" Krieg mehr gesehen. Ich meine einen Krieg, wo jeder Mann eingezogen wird und Millionen sterben.
"kein Fortschritt beim Klimawandel" Auch hier würde ich für das Gegenteil argumentieren: Wir treten gerade in die Phase ein, wo wir sehr viel erreicht haben und in Zukunft sehr, sehr viel mehr erreichen werden. Z.B. hat Solarenergie endgültig den Sprung zur Massentechnologie gemacht. Es ist inzwischen für quasi jeden Menschen i.d.R. billiger eine Solaranlage zu benutzen als einen Generator. Moral ist das eine, aber inzwischen ist schlicht und einfach billiger erneuerbare Energien zu nutzen.
"begrenzte Ressourcen auf der Erde" Okay, na klar rein theoretisch könnte das mal ein Problem sein. Aber es gibt ja außerhalb der Erde auch noch eine Menge Ressourcen, die man anzapfen könnte. (Hoffen wir nur, dass nicht Musk III ihren Abbau kontrollieren wird.)
"Insgesamt, rein logisch, kann es zumindest nicht mehr endlos so weiter gehen."
Ich würde diese These herausfordern. Bisher ist es doch "immer endlos so weitergegangen"! Ich habe ja dargelegt, warum ich deinen Pessimismus nicht teile, aber gehen wir mal davon aus ich liege falsch und es läuft genau andersherum:
Selbst wenn sich KI (bzw. die LLMs um die sich gerade alles dreht) als komplette Sackgasse entpuppt und eine generelle Finanzkrise auslöst...
Und der Dritte Weltkrieg bricht los. Deutschland wird schwer zerstört...
Und der Klimawandel gerät auch völlig außer Kontrolle. Große Dürren und steigender Meeresspiegel sorgt für Millionen Flüchtlinge...
...in all diesen Fällen wirst du mit weltweiten ETF als Otto-Normalverbraucher am besten vorsorgen oder zumindest Risiken minimieren. Gilt doppelt und dreifach, wenn man komplett überzeugt ist, dass wirklich ein weltenender Crash auf uns wartet. Sollte es tatsächlich wider alle Logik einfach mehr oder weniger so weitergehen wie bisher, na ja dann ist ein ETF die beste Anlagestrategie (nach heutigem Wissensstand).
Letzendlich ist dein Post eigentlich gar nicht über eine "ETF-Blase", sondern über eine "Kapitalismus-Blase" :D

$CROX Deep Dive:
The market currently treats $CROX like a dying fad, but the cash flow tells a different story. As of February 2026, the stock is trading at a Forward P/E of \~7x, while generating nearly $700M in Free Cash Flow. Here is the bull/bear breakdown on the most polarizing footwear stock in the world.
1. The Business Model: Software-Like Margins for Rubber Shoes
Crocs doesn't sell shoes; it sells a high-margin platform.
\* The Moat: Their proprietary Croslite™ material is dirt cheap to manufacture but carries massive perceived value.
\* Margins: Gross margins sit at \~59-61%. For context, that’s better than Nike and closer to some tech companies.
\* The "Jibbitz" Effect: Charms are high-margin accessories that turn a $50 shoe into a collectible hobby. It’s the closest thing to "recurring revenue" in footwear.
\* Efficiency: They are injection-molded. No complex stitching, no expensive labor. One machine, one mold, thousands of shoes.
2. The Elephant in the Room: The HEYDUDE Disaster
In 2022, management bought HEYDUDE for $2.5B. It’s been a rocky road.
\* The Bad: Revenue for HEYDUDE is down \~20% YoY. Management overpaid, and they’ve had to write down nearly $700M in non-cash impairment charges recently.
\* The Good: They are aggressively "cleaning the channel"—cutting off small, messy wholesalers to move toward a higher-margin Direct-to-Consumer (DTC) model.
\* The Bottom Line: Even if HEYDUDE stays flat, the core Crocs brand is carrying the entire company.
3. Financial Health (TTM Feb 2026)
The stock price ($85) vs. the actual earnings is a massive disconnect:
\* Forward P/E: 7.1x (Industry average is 16x+).
\* Free Cash Flow: \~$700M.
\* Share Buybacks: Management has retired over 30% of the float in the last decade. They are basically cannibalizing their own shares at these depressed prices.
\* Debt: They’ve paid down over $1B in debt since the acquisition. The "debt burden" thesis is dying.
4. Pre-Mortem: What Could Kill This?
If $CROX drops another 50%, it won't be because of debt. It will be:
\* Fashion Irrelevance: If Gen Z decides clogs are "out," the high margins collapse.
\* Tariff Exposure: Huge reliance on Vietnam/China. If trade wars heat up in 2026, those 60% margins could shrink to 45%.
\* DTC Failure: If they can't pivot away from wholesale, they lose pricing power to retailers like Amazon/Walmart.
5. The Valuation: What Is It Actually Worth?
I ran a Reverse DCF using the current $85 price point:
\* Market Expectation: The market is pricing in a 3% annual decline in cash flow forever.
\* Reality: Core Crocs International is growing low double-digits (especially in China/India).
\* Intrinsic Value: Even with 0% growth, the stock is worth \~$120. If they manage just 4% growth, the fair value jumps to $150+.
The TL;DR
$CROX is a free cash flow machine disguised as an ugly shoe company. Management made a bad bet on HEYDUDE, and the market is punishing them with a "permanent" discount. If you believe the core brand is a staple (like Vans or Converse) and not a fad, this is a massive margin-of-safety play.
Current Sentiment: 📉 Market Hates it | 📊 Fundamentals Love it.

If you have a large portfolio, US listed ETFs are only better in RRSP which avoids US withholding tax on dividends. Otherwise use Canada listed ETFs like (V/X/Z)EQT to avoid currency exchange.

Wir streichen einfach Arbeitslosengeld 1, Integrationskurse und schrauben die Wochenstunden hoch.
Wie, *warum wollen keine Fachkräfte mehr hierbleiben?* Alles faule Generation Z hier! (wütende Rentner-Geräusche)

Yes, but we are at an inflection point where 60k low must hold. Several things support the low at 60k being in before new ath, but we need to quickly take out 74500. Ideally not pullback before doing so. This would provide pretty solid conviction given the speed and price retracement.
On chain metrics show the buying was led by spot, not leverage.
The 60k drop was a massive deleveraging.
Extreme fear hit 9/100
More spot outflows from exchanges took place vs inflows showing bitcoins were moves to cold storage from buying the drop.on chain metrics show supply in loss and supply in profit have converged which historically has marked bear market lows.
200 week ema is at 58000, we stayed above it and saw a 13% rally. If this rally can take out 74500 there is strong conviction in the bottom.
The MVRV Z score dropped under 1 to .67. This says bitcoin is undervalued relative to its fair market value. It has also marked bear market bottoms.
The hash ribbon cross has occurred showing miner capitulation. This also signals bottoms.
Here is whats important...
Every bottom has the opportunity to seek continuation or fail.
Our bottom pivot is strong but now we need the signs for continuation or else this likely becomes the start of a redistribution event and an inducement.

I asked AI for options for dual reporting hedged GBP-denominated bond funds. Hope this helps. Cheers!
\- BlackRock Global Corporate Bond Fund - A3 GBP Hedged
\- PGIM Global Corporate Bond Fund - GBP Hedged I Acc
\- iShares ESG Screened Global Corporate Bond Index Fund
\- Allspring Global Income Fund - Class Z GBP Hedged (multi-sector)
High Yield:
\- BlackRock Global High Yield Bond Fund - A2 GBP Hedged
\- PGIM European High Yield Bond Fund - GBP Hedged
ETF:
\- iShares Core Global Aggregate Bond UCITS ETF - GBP Hedged (AGBP)
Each of these has a base currency (usually USD), offers multiple currency share classes (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.), provides a GBP-hedged class where FX exposure is neutralized, reports NAV and distributions in GBP.

Millennials are the greatest generation since the Greatest Generation
Boomers = Evil
Gen Z = Brain Dead
Gen Alpha = I dk
Oh I forgot about Gen X which is basically all there is to know 

I’d say most small businesses, especially locally owned family-owned companies often “do it wrong” but they can “get by” because they are either in a small market, they have been in business long enough that word of mouth supported them, or they have turned their company into a commodity.
The USP is just one piece of the puzzle that has hundreds of pieces.
When marketing is done right, you can call in the right buyer and demand higher rates (if that’s what’s desired) with less stress because you’re matched better.
Marketing isn’t just the brand colors…it’s the words, the promises, the tone & personality + where and how you advertise - and I can tell you from first hand experience that it makes a difference when done right.
A brand that wants to sell to Gen Z won’t use the same tactics as a brand who wants to sell to Boomers.
And a brand that wants to sell to other businesses won’t market the same way if they want to sell to homeowners.
Those are just two examples - I could write a book.
My experience is in construction and home services which isn’t an industry you mentioned but when you look - and you know what to look for, the differences are there. Especially for established brands who have been in business for 10+ years.
