I recently started investing so I’m still a novice. Have about $5K in my fidelity brokerage account and obviously going to make contributions every month.

I’m invested pretty much entirely in funds (Large Cap, Blue Chip, VOO, SP 500, etc.)

Trying to build wealth over the next 5-20 years (know it’s a long time frame).

My question is does it really ever make sense for me to sell (unless when I need the money), even when the market crashes? Feel like it’s better to ride it out.

No promotion has been offered to me to upgrade my existing Venture card to a Venture X card.

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
