AMZN has been doing really well are you expecting a correction?

It's a significant amount and I don't want to risk it all in a single stock. I'll anyways be getting new grants. And my wife holds some grants as well.

Yes. I use stockal and have a big US Equity portfolio investing from India. Great option

I didn't know about stockal. Is the ltcg taxation on these still 10%?

Depends. 50 stocks = 1 cr + Depending on your net worth, this might be a very big portion or a very small one to risk in a single stock

It is 50% of my liquid nw.

Don't sell hard earned zero cost equity of gems like Amazon and msft. I spent around 10 yrs in MSFT and have not sold a single share and most of my big grants were when msft was under 60

how many years did you work at amazon?

Amazon bezosssssd Jun 26, 2021

amazon will still grow. better not to sell since you will pay capital gain tax and returns might not be worth it
