For several days, I’ve been studying my stock holdings. They’re meager but they have performed very well.
In 2020, my handpicked investments increased by 75%. (I bought at the height of the March Covid panic.)
Today, I told my financial advisor to sell 80% of it. I wanted to take my profits off the table and be done.
He said that I wasn’t listening to him and more. He said that the economy is stable now and set for growth.
I really like the guy but I must have control over my money. Unfortunately, it’s within an IRA and that means it’s surrounded by government-mandated legal complexities.
I am surprised by how much resistance I encountered in trying to sell out and take my profits.
I can’t express how relieved I am to be out of this market.
