Personal Investments • Boglehead's remorse?

I've been in the Boglehead camp since 2019

From your post I tried to build a simple timeline of events.

• 2019, $350K (and now claiming to be a boglehead).
• 2019, Starting that year, I began selling off these individual equities and reinvesting in index funds.
• 2022. my portfolio grew to about $600K by the end of 2022.
• 2023, in January, I still owned a very large position in MSFT Needing the money and with market uncertainty at the time, I sold the remainder of my equities.
• 2024, The AI boom in 2023 would have made me an extra $100K in MSFT.

You held MSFT from 2019 to end 2022 or early 2023 when it hit its bottom and lost 28% of it's value, then you sold it since you needed funds and speculated that it would drop further(market uncertainty were your words). That is basically attempting to time the market.

If you have remorse, you need to realize that you own it.
