Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Long story not so long, I am looking at selling off some individual stocks for ease of portfolio management. It's not a large amount of money (relative to portfolio overall) but I am just wanting it to be simple and get rid of the individual stocks.
Currently, pension and rental income pays all expenses (and then some that I am still contributing to VWENX). I currently have 32% of my assets in VWELX and have no issues throwing the proceeds to VWENX (which would then make it about 35%) but thought maybe putting it in VTSAX instead.
Anyone think of a good reason NOT to do this? Yes, this is a taxable account and I realize that there are capital gains with the sale, but I am comfortable with that. I have held these stocks for a while and will make a decent amount of return on them and want to cash 'em out while the gettin' is good.
Edit..I just realized that I have the holdings in VWENX as opposed to VWELX; so the thread title is incorrect.
