2025 December: It is time to rebalance Google stock

*** if you are heavily invested

After years of tracking the Nasdaq 100 index (QQQ), Google has nearly doubled its performance. If you are heavily invested in Google and want to lock in these gains while moving toward a more secure retirement, now is an ideal time to take action. Consider rebalancing by arranging an automatic transaction with your broker to sell a small portion of your Google shares each week and reinvest the proceeds into QQQ or VOO.

Be conservative—sell about 1/100th of your total Google holdings weekly and let this process run for six months. Make sure this strategy keeps you within your current tax bracket. If market conditions shift, you’ll have the flexibility to adjust your approach.
