Hmm. Those two would be among the last I'd sell -- great and dominant companies raking in boatloads of cash. Definitely long-term holds for me.
But.... if you have to sell *something* to raise some short-term cash, and if you've decided it is going to be either your AAPL or your GOOG, I guess I'd be inclined to keep the GOOG and sell the AAPL. A "Sophie's choice" for sure! And this is completely by the seat of my pants, but GOOG is likely to thrive no matter what happens in tech over the years. Wherever the people's eyeballs are, GOOG will be there serving ads. Though I would NOT bet against AAPL, it isn't quite as clear to me how safe they are as the tech landscape evolves over the years.
