re: Something to be said for taking gains…Right?

Bought Disney stock during Covid in the 90 range and sold last august in the 180 range. I unloaded some index funds in January 2022 for some decent gains. I also loaded up on some technology mutual funds in April 2020 and unloaded them when they doubled in March 2021. Right now I still hold some index funds but I’m not in too bad of a spot with them. Also just pulled the trigger back into a technology indexed etf. I’ll admit a lot of my timing was luck with the Disney and technology fund. To be fair if you bought just about anything during the Covid dip and sold a year later doubling your money was easy. These days not so much. The loser for me was and still is crypto. Thankfully I only bought very little of it because it tanked. I fully expected and still do expect any money I put into crypto to vanish so it’s a rounding error on that money.
