Wise decision.It was totally luck. I'm still pinching myself! We did decide to pay off the house. We're leaving about $25K in the stock.We'll reinvest the rest to balance the portfolio (after holding back money for taxes). I can be so heads down, but you're right, we need ot celebrate this, at least a little bit!Could have been some skill rather than luck. Don't know why the initial investment was made.I'd sell enough to pay off the mortgage and a small present to yourself for such a lucky investment choice. Congratulations!
Maybe, maybe not. By OP's "shock", it's probably more luck. Any thoughts on my advice though?
Last piece of advice for the remaining $25k: Today, write down a plan for it. What will you do if it tanks? What will you do if it keeps soaring? Do you plan on holding it forever keeping in mind that companies don’t last forever. Make those decisions today and write them down. This way, when it is time to act, you will remind yourself what your thinking was.
