    Unless my maths lessons are failing me (ok, it was a long time ago!), I’m up something like 28% since 30th March. Two months. Amazing work, thanks guys.

    @Cappo it does beg the question β€œis now a good time to lock in some of those crazy gains?”…..

    Anyone else wondering that?

      I have just taken a little bit of profit out of tech and moved it to a slightly less risky portfolio.

        That would be trading, not investing. If you don't need the money then let it run and trust the periodic rebalancing that happens to the portfolios.

          From inception which is 4 years 1.5 months. Past performance is no indication of future returns. Base index 100(price)

          There may be something out there which has performed better (Im not aware of it)-by any measure the results have been 'elite'. Congratulations to all who invested.

                I get what you mean...
                .....although as someone who spent a couple of decades in a US tech 'unicorn', I was also given some advice by a wise man who said "it's worth taking 10% of your ESPP just in case" πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

                Would I have been better leaving it all untouched?

                Sure, for most time periods chosen....but having a little to one side was not a bad call, and enables other random things (experiences/goods) to be done that might not have been on the radar at precisely the moment I sold....

                I make a point of never looking back with a "what-if" mentality.

                        I totally agree.

                        Also, removing some profits isn't the right or wrong answer, except for the person doing it.

                        You might want to use the excess to invest in something different, buy something you wanted and now have the "surplus" to do so, just lock in a gain for peace of mind etc.

                        What is important is everyone has their own objectives, needs and circumstances - investing is still true.

                        Gambling is taking profits daily, or dipping in and out frequently - not your personal occasional rebalancing.

                        YMMV
