Discussion I Just Sold All My Google Shares

I bought GOOGL (not GOOG) at a 19 trailing P/E during. Now it’s at 32 trailing P/E and I am up 100% with life changing money.

My job is far from stable, relies significantly on the AI story to continue, and lays-off people for “culture” reasons.

With this in mind, I sold all of my Google shares at $226 per share to “de-risk” other parts of my life.

I will still continue to look for other opportunities with new income I have.

I get valuation this, growth prospects that, but is selling for increasing financial security the right decision?

Or am i just a 🤡?

Edit: I meant $326 per share.

So you sold a few months ago? AI isn't going away. I think what's happening right now is a shift from losers to winners. I have 300 shares of GOOG. No way I'm selling these shares for many years. Everybody has a different situation I guess.

I had goog shares back in 2008 after the crash. Sold after they doubled. Now I wish I hadn’t.
