I have to sell one of these stocks, Google or Meta, which one should I sell?

Which do you expect to win the race for artificial general intelligence?

Probably Meta.
I might need to sell more than just Google though. I am buying a condo and using some of my investments to pay for it. My largest holding is Nvidia, followed by Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Meta. I don’t want to sell any of the first 3, except maybe a small portion of Amazon. I think Amazon is headed for a breakout. I already sold Apple, and of course it has gone up since. I will end up owning only 3 stocks, but for a long time I only owned Apple and Amazon.

I will probably sell Google, but do I sell ahead of earnings? That’s the question. They report on Tuesday. I don’t need the money until the end of March.

If that is why you are selling, I would probably just carve off a portion of each one to get at the money for the condo. If you really can't face selling the first three, then I would split between the last two and not get rid of either position completely.

Tom, what do we want to do about UNG? The spreadsheet isn't correct due to the reverse split.
I'm ok if you just remove it and bump my other three tickers - NVDA, ZS, and IEP to 33.33% each of the original $100k.

I need another $170,000, currently Google has $94,000 and Meta has $118,000. I could sell a small amount ($30,000) of Amazon, and possibly 100 shares of Nvidia. But really I don’t want to sell Nvidia yet.

I probably need to start another thread, I don’t want to highjack newporttom’s contest. Send me a PM if you have any further advice.

The numbers calculated on their own. But I have to sort based on the total to get everyone in the right order
