I'm considering selling at a loss, but is it the right move? Is it better to hold on for future gains and tax benefits, or should I consider a simpler, diversified investment for my finances and mental well-being?

@Kaile You're correct that the U.S. market faces historical pullback risks after sharp rallies, but doesn't the current strength of corporate earnings and their sustainability negate the need for a defensive posture, justifying aggressive investment instead of simply following a long-term, diversified strategy?

So, U.S. Stock markets are hitting some impressive highs thanks to strong earnings and a positive vibe in the air. This rally has many asking whether the market will remain strong, or if a pullback is imminent. What do you think?
