January is usually an up month. I often wait until April to sell.

I’m a long term investor, finally recouping most of my losses from the last market correction.

What’s that saying - buy when people are selling and sell when people are buying.

No one can predict human behavior.
Especially their wife's behavior (or husband's).

Interesting development in the market just one day after the original post. Seems like people are in a selling mood today!

Don’t care what the tea leaves say. I have been in AAPL since June 1986 and nothing on Gods green earth will ever convince me to sell.

The capital gains must be a factor as well.

People didn't like Fedex's forecast.

I’ve been in and out of aapl at least a dozen times during the past 20+ years. With all of the splits, it has done very well. At the end of 2022, I bought aapl when it went down into the $120’s, rode it into the $170’s then sold.
With aapl, a lot of my go to funds/etfs have aapl as a major stakeholder so at so point you have to look at how much aapl do I want to hold. I’m sure I’ll own it many times more in the future.

I dumped all my mutual funds last year when I anticipated a big drop and parked the money in a money market fund, then a month later moved it all back to a broad spectrum mutual fund. By doing this I missed a 2000 point drop, then rode the market back up to its current high. This added about 5% to my total I wouldn’t have otherwise had. But it is hard to know when to do that, and if you do it wrong, you can lose a lot of money.

I feel the same about my BRK/A which I bought at about $3,000/share in the 1980s. BRK's portfolio is now about 50% AAPL. I also bought some AAPL a few years back at about 1/10th its current price and have no plans on selling any of it.

I was in the wrong place in the 80s, missed the boat in 2008, etc., and what I finally learned is to pay the fee and have Fidelity manage the accounts because they watch everything all the time and much closer than I ever could. Even allowing for the minor fee, I still do better letting them handle it. Lastly, I don't want to spend my retirement WORKING on investments. I'd rather work on spending them down.

OP, Along with our financial adviser we maintain a diverse portfolio. The market can turn (and does) so best to leave it to the “pros” IMHO.
