There's a party happening in stocks in 2024, and though investors may be reluctant, it could be time to think of taking a few chips off the table.
My portfolio has recovered [from 2022],'" said Marguerita Cheng, certified financial planner and CEO of Blue Ocean Global Wealth in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
"I tell people we're not selling everything, but we need to give the portfolio the TLC it deserves – this is the fine-tuning of your portfolio," she added.
Be tax aware: Investors may be wary of selling highly appreciated holdings within their taxable accounts, which can incur levies on capital gains.
Cheng of Blue Ocean has been turning toward dividend payers, as well as small and midcap stocks.
