Q: I have managed to recover my portfolio to my December balance and have decided to move to a more conservative position while these unprecedented times continue. I hold the above stocks at approximately 2.5% each and would like to move to a 20% total. Would you recommend adding to these positions, selling some and adding something different, or just adding new. I have a well balanced portfolio and am retired without a pension so secure income is preferred.
