My portfolio for the past 3 years has averaged a solid 20% yearly return. But due to losing my job and home a year ago and spending through most of my rainy day funds, I now need to sell off some stocks to pay my bills and be eligible to receive government assistance as my efforts for employment have become futile.

It's breaking my heart because I'm proud of what I've built and I had hoped to watch my money grow for a good decade or two and eventually use it to buy my dream home. Not just to survive.

Do I sell my lower yielding stock (10% YTD) or my higher yielding (100%+ YTD). Of course anything in red I'm getting rid of

We discuss so much about what stocks to buy, but rarely what we should be selling.
