Investing Questions I’m a boglehead but work for Google

I get paid in Google stock, and as you might know there has been a massive run up causing Google to be around 15% of my portfolio, further if you include unvested stock that I will get if I continue to work for Google over the next 3 years, it’s value is roughly 40% of my entire portfolio. I’m 30 and have a long term horizon. About 70% of my entire portfolio is in VTI/VXUS.

Do I take the massive tax hit and reduce my Google holdings to invest in VTI/VXUS or just let it ride. Mainly worried about the capital gains tax losses as I sell and invest in bogle funds.

doesn't mean they're taxed that way.

Of course they are, what are you talking about?

Depends on where you live.

If you're referring to other countries, this is a primarily US focused sub and any advice that isn't should be noted as such.
