Going to purge my stocks portfolio. AMA

Hey folks, I was checking my portfolio recently and with the slight market correction happening over the course of the month, I am confused about selling some of my stocks, I wanted to know how to go about it? Background: I am a 24 yo and have been investing since 2020, have made good profit across but with some stocks been super lucky (300-400%) although the absolute number is in thousands only. I don't have any requirement of money and can hold all of them for a very long period.

P.S. Not seeking directions, just some sane advice. I was in a murky situation with PNB a few years ago, and I successfully managed to accumulate and now they are doing handsomely!

World markets crashing. Monday came for my portfolio as well. Look at the loss. What do you guys think will happen in the next few weeks?

Check comment for update on silver & next sectors. A lot of things have happened since my last update. I was caught in election volatility & booked out 50% of my positions. I was hoping for further slippages in the market, but prices started recovering the next day & eventually, I built everything back in the next 2 days. Currently from last week i have started booking out profits from my positional trades. 1 day before the election my portfolio for this FY was up around 26% & due to election volatility it came down to about 9 %. It is back again to the previous levels, a bit above. I wont sell my top 2 stocks but i am booking out the rest gradually. Now the rationale behind locking profit is that, in the last month, the portfolio fluctuated from 26 - 9 - 29. If markets go into trouble, I don't want to give back 20% twice to the market in 1 month. If I have 100 shares, I book out 5-10 every day, so that I can get a good average if the price keeps moving up. I have already booked 50% of my total positions. This process is called BOOKING OUT ON STRENGTH. I am taking advantage of the parabolic move. Us markets are currently thinning out & a handful of stocks are taking it higher, soon our market will experience the same. As of now there are no triggers in our market. But it just takes 1 session for the sentiment to change. Now, I cannot let my money sit idle in my account, that would be foolish for a trader. What I am doing is getting into sector ETFs of Banks, It , Auto. ETFs are less volatile, if the market is going to move 5-7% more from here until Budget, my returns will be in tune with the market. I am fine if I don't outperform the market for the next 5-7%. After budget i will reasses the situation and will get back again into equities. It is also a good feeling to book out & bring that money home. Whenever opportunities arise in subsequent quarters I can hit it hard & go full throttle since I have a good cushion.

Everything seems to indicate that this is the beginning of an extended bullrun till the elections. What is the game plan? Personally, I am all in. First time since 2020, that I have a net zero cash position.

Came across a few posts on Twitter suggesting that if the gains are less than 1 lakh, it might be better to sell right now and buy later. I have just started a while back and have around 15L invested. Was looking towards the long term horizon and staying invested but since my gains till now are less than 1 lakh, would it be better to sell right now and buy again at relatively balanced valuations?

Before people jump into validation mode, I thought let’s do something ulta (opposite)🙃 Pick one of your worst investment mistakes (it can be a stock, RE, ULIP, relationx blah blah) My inputs - During 2021/22 real estate boom, I picked a real estate stonk (india bulls) as I thought it’s a growing sector and company will become beneficiary after all the sins they have committed in past. Bam! Over next 5 months stock crashed ~50% 🥲
