So my fun money brokerage account is now back up to about +16.5% from being down -20% a couple of months ago. Account was started January 2019. Anyone thinking of going to bonds or something safer for a bit? I'm about to double my entire portfolio with some bonus money, and trying to decide what to do with it. I have about half my portfolio in VOO (tracks S&P500), 1/4 in bonds, and 1/4 in tech stocks. Almost everything has been in long enough to not be considered short term. AAPL is up 65% since I bought, so I hesitate to "sell a winner". I suppose I could keep what I have and use the supplemental money to rebalance to safer plays? I don't have any immediate need for most of the money, but we are looking to build an addition on the house this year, and I am trying to decide whether or not to pay cash for that by liquidating this, or get a loan or equity line for it. Any opinions?
