But Apple's had a nice run recently and volumes Wed. & Thurs. were down so that might be ending. With an ER next week it seemed like midway between recent highs and lows was a solid time to sell.Seems like a logical trade. As I mentioned before I like the timing. I could sure be wrong but it is hard to imagine all the FAANGs making it through earnings without one or more spooking the market.
I think it's trading a bit higher relative to GOOGL plus I have more than twice as much. This took AAPL down to 12.17% of my Taxable Account. This may be the only stock sale I make for living expenses this year but a big IRA conversion will mean a big tax bill so I can't guarantee it.
