I try not to trigger realized gains unless there is good reason to do so. Do those represent too much of your overall portfolio? Do you no longer believe in those companies? Do you have some tax lots you could sell for minimal gain or a loss?

They do not and I do believe in long term potential for the two. I just like the exposure of that the ETFs have to offer.. the two probably make up around 7-8% of my portfolio.

What account are theses in? If a taxable account and assuming these will trigger gains, I would have to have a really good reason to do so.

You could always wait until they are long term I suppose. If you want those funds instead of the individual companies it likely just makes sense to do it now, if the tax implications are not significant

No

If the gains are already long, go for it. Tough to imagine not selling anything ever, once bought. After all, the market does tilt to one direction or the other - some level of reallocation makes sense

RIOT

Keep em and buy QQQ and VGT to further diversify

AAPL is a keeper for the long run. MS at least next 3-5 yrs.

How to tell if you’ve held long enough to avoid short term cap gains?
