Hello investors! I'm personally interested in your opinion on the company $ASML. My buy price is €640 and the current value is €1,071. I'm thinking about selling a small portion of my gains, which are wonderful, and reinvesting them elsewhere. I'm curious whether you would sell or not. I definitely don't intend to sell the majority of the shares because the company dominates thanks to the growing impact of AI. :) Have a nice day. ASML makes up 9% of my portfolio.

For me, a logical step is to sell about one third of the position and keep the rest with a new target. But it depends on your specific strategy. I do this quite often—even when trading. If the position is larger or riskier, it can make sense to sell two thirds and keep the last third to see if it appreciates further. That way I’m still in the market and avoid the FOMO effect, but I’ve also locked in profit and can’t lose it anymore. If the price falls, I’ll sell that last third as well.
For me, this sector is among the top three most attractive right now, so I wouldn't sell those holdings. Of course the risks are significant, but if you're holding for the long term I would still wait.
You can't responsibly advise because everyone is different — would it bother you if it went sideways for four years and you no longer saw further potential in it, and you wanted to diversify more, saw a chance in another sector, needed to pull your portfolio back from tech because it's too concentrated, or were worried about China? Asking yourself questions like these is important, and rebalancing your portfolio is one of the main and important factors.
Holding forever, etc. — just look at Buffett: he sold some Apple and knew why. Did he sell at today's prices? He couldn't have known that either (first mentions were around 190, then 210–220) — and today it's much higher.
Whenever I have a gain above 50%, I at least sell a portion of the position, and it doesn't matter which stock it is. It depends on whether you'd mind ASML making up, say, 15% of your portfolio.

Let your winner keep growing! It’s better than selling and buying some beaten-down stock instead that won’t produce those gains.
I won't sell. I'm holding.
If there's somewhere better you could put it, go ahead and sell a portion and reinvest elsewhere, but if not—if it's just to lock in some gains—don't sell. If the company meets your fundamentals, there's no reason to sell.
Hi, I definitely wouldn't sell. That gain isn't that big yet and I'd be more likely to buy more than sell.
