What do you guys think. My plan is to sell 100 shares of Ford and I'm thinking I can sell it in lots. So I have shares that I've made some profit on over the years, ranging between $7 - $11 and it's all long-term gains. I was thinking about selling that and retaining the shares that are still in negative territory. Shares that were purchased in the $14-$20 range. I don't really need the loss and I'd rather take some of my wins and invest them in other companies. Bad plan? Good plan?

Add them all together and see what your overall investment is. Then see how much you can sell all of it for now. Are you in the profit side? If you are then you should sell it all and then diversify into a few different stocks in different sectors. I don't know how much we're talking here but your better off to spread that shit around a little. You should have already sold off the stuff you bought at 20 bucks when it was going down, cut your losses and save money in the long run. You could have sold and bought something else that was profitable when it went down to say 17 or 16 and been making money instead of keeping on loosing down to 12 where it is now.

Yeah I fucked that part of for sure. I have some other stuff that was bought on dividend that I want to sell but yeah you might be right to sell a decent chunk then reinvest it in something that will recover the losses

My broker dude was happy to read that's it's going to be wacked up in the near near future. They've been waiting.

I bought a lot during the downturn and dumped it all last year for a tidy profit. I'd say you have a good plan if you're comfortable with the amount you're going to make.

It's not leaps and bounds of profit but Ford is kind of a disaster these days. My thought is the rolling into another car company. The parent of fiat, ram, jeep, blah blah blah. I have some shares of them already and while I wish I bought them when they were at $15 they have a dividend and everyone loves the ram truck and Stellanis vehicle are everywhere in Europe.

They certainly don't seem to be breaking out of the $12 range. That little blip in 2022 was the first time they were above $20 (not counting an earlier split) since late 2001, so it may not be worth your while to hold the losses either.

A good point. Ford can't get out of it's own way these days. And that EV truck was about as stupid as could be.
