If you sell you're taking a 30% hit so 1 million becomes $700,000 (or less) real fast. I just prefer to sit on it as I think it will continue to go up. It is proving to do much better than other investments and definitely outperforming the 1% or whatever I'd get at the bank. All depends on your situation. If I could guarantee a 10% return on my lump sum after I sold, I could retire, but no one can guarantee that percentage. So I'd rather just watch the cardboard go up and up and up, which is risky for sure. Also depends on what you're holding.
