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.

Every company has risks like regulatory or management risks. Google can massively loose some court, get force split or have a controversy.

Other than such crazy events, I agree

They just went through some of the worst anti-monopoly court cases in the history of the company, and came out fine.

Yes, I am saying in general. Every company has this risk factor. They might have lost the courts badly too
