I’ve been slowly reducing my AAPL shares since they started to fall a precipitously a few months ago. Because I bought them years ago, it’s all profit (although certainly not as much as I had hoped for 
). But to be fair, both my wife and I are newly retired, and we need to factor in both best and worse case scenarios in order to ensure that we don’t run out of money. I’m not abandoning stocks - I know I need them for growth. But I’ll probably invest in less volatile index funds next.
