In my case, I had another 15 years to retirement. I took shares off the table along the way and put it back in the broader market to start growing and to diversify. There were times I sold and the price went up a lot. Times I sold and the price went down a lot. I never looked back on any of those trades. Prices go up and down on everything, but once it is in your pocket in your private account, it’s a bird in the hand.
Thanks for that. I do have a financial advisor so he advised me to sell some company stock and put it into blue chips, which I did . Tax ramifications are a pain though.
