All four of those will run. We are sending some goons over to your house if you sell them down lol.
When you have time to, invest some on learning the 11 S&P sectors. Look back at their performance from one year to the next. It's why we diversify. It's a pretty special year when even 8 of them are up. UTEs and Health have been treading water for a year. It will be OK.
Take energy sector as an example. Best sector by far in 2021. You are a genius if you put half your port there. Of course you were a moron if you did it last year. All kidding aside it's a concept you need to grasp. Your investing will be less stressful. If it were possible to always be green, their would be a lot of fund managers being the SPY. There are practically zero over a ten year period.
