Wall Street Profit Taking Opportunity

The profits over the next 30 years will be much greater than they are now, so no, i've not taken anything out.

ATH

I bought VTI at $242 and $249. Holding for the next 30 years. I'm up $4,396 on it now.

I only have probably less than 10 different individual stocks and don’t have that much money in the grand scheme of things in those so I’m not sure how I’ll handle those moving forward.

In regards to the mutual funds and index funds I have and ETFs. I hope to literally never sell those and pass those onto next generation.


I’m relatively young so in recent years I’ve only bought the 2020 dip and the recent liberation day/tarries end of the world event. So no I don’t really plan on bailing on those gains.

I did make an exit plan. Initially it was S & P Index ATH close at 6144.

I don't ponder my mortality but the actuarial tables are not applicable to my age.

I’ll take profits during retirement. Long in everything I’m in. Still down YTD.

Thanks for the reply.

There is no significance in that number. It is just an exit plan that I have historically used that allows me to lock up profits from buying on dips.

I am not educated enough to determine the valuation of stocks.

I moved from a bond fund to the S & P Index Fund at 5521 for x dollars and about again at another dip at 1/2 x dollars at 5074 so the transfer back to a bond fund with the present value is there.

Given that I was 72% S & P Index Fund prior to the "purchase" (transfer) and returning to a similar ratio will not cause me to miss a bull run and gets some bullets back to buy on the next dip.
