You only make money after a sale, up to that point your still gambling. AKA a big stack of chips is not the same thing as a big wad of cash you have to actually leave the casino without blowing it.

Yes, but I want to sell off to diversify the kinds of chips I'm holding. At the moment, the tech stocks I'm holding on to as a result of work are doing quite well, but I'd like to insulate myself from risk anyways.
