Take half and diversify into physical gold and silver buried on your property. Don’t own property, diversify some more... ;)

I’ll give you $28 a share for it. You’ll double your money!

I would really rely heavily on an expert. I wouldn’t presume to give you any advice on this as it is not my area of expertise. I’ve got multiple degrees but am an amateur in this area.

I have $300K in retirement funds and $40K in savings.

My home is paid off and is currently worth about $700K.

No debt.

You could have, like, two crack parties if you sold it.

As a broker with my Series 7 &66 my professional advice is get off the Internet and find a broker.

You have 1M in a single stock. Uhm. Yes you should sell half now and half next year. Buy 30 individual stocks for diversification, AFTER, you pay for your life. You got lucky owning a stock that has performed. Now move on. IMHO.

Sell it and buy GM stock with it.
It's the patriotic thing to do.

OK, Where's the /Sarc tag?

Seriously, the likelihood of an upside move
is lower than the projected change in capital gains tax.

But whether congress is going to overturn this
will not be known for a few more months

Hate to be rude(not really) but why are you asking that type of ? here.
If your not sure what to do you may want to spend some time brushing up on your financial skills at a financial site or as some one mentioned hire a pro.
I have lost entirely tooooooo much money in my life dicking around worrying about paying taxes on gains.If ya got more than when ya started after taxes,paid yourself for the aggravation, then you won.

Good idea.

I’ll probably sell half and give the rest of the shares to my wife.

But I must first see who wins in November.

Sell half.

Invest in gold, Armalite, BCM, Colt, Daniel Defense, LMT, and Noveske.

Oh, and a nice Corvette would be fun until the collapse.

Plus, you still have half as a hedge against no collapse. Both sides covered.

If you don’t sell, you won’t be able to brag about how much money you made. Sell a bunch, keep a bunch. Use the proceeds to buy stock in Chick-Fil-A or some similar conservative-friendly enterprise.

Flawed logic, if the Bummer wins in November the market will step off a cliff the morning after. You will still be bucks up so things are good but anything sold after the election tally would amount to a discount.

That (opinion only) said...congratulations; you done good all 'round!
