[QUOTE="Techster, post: 696736, member: 360"] What's your strategy with regards to taxes on capital gains versus holding and letting the market catch back up? I put together a spreadsheet with multiple scenarios where: 1. Pay taxes on capital gains on assets sold to realize gains before a selloff...then reinvesting to ride the wave back up. Depending on timing, the capital gains can put a dent in realized gains. 2. Depending on how much my assets have appreciated over time, ride the selloff and let the market work its way back up. I've always hated timing the market on assets where I already have a high appreciation rate. Personally, the market has only had a negative 7% affect on my entire portfolio the last month, and most of my core assets (stocks I plan on keeping for 10+ years) have a net positive return multiple times that in the last year. I just don't see giving up 15-30+% in capital gains taxes on core assets to get ahead of the grim reaper, then trying to make it back up once the market has stabilized. [/QUOTE]
