I would have to say that Amazon could have a very happy well paid work force if they wanted to. And a better public image. Maybe pay some higher up 40 billion dollars less per year and spread it out to the workers.

The stocks split, so you have more shares. (If your trading company doesn't adjust the quantity, you're being robbed...)

You should have 4 for every 1 for Apple, 5 for every 1 for Tesla.

Most tech stocks were hammered at the end of last week. Your plan moving forward depends on your optimism regarding COVID and the election.

If you think COVID will continue for a while, or Biden will win the election, converting to cash is prudent, as either will drive the stock market down. Not being political - this is just the reality of how each will impact stocks.

If you think we're past the worst of COVID, or that Trump wins, both will drive the market up. In that case, what do you think will gain? Medical stocks if you think one of them has a head start on a vaccine. Stocks that were hammered by COVID (airlines, hotels, travel companies, cruise lines, car rental companies, restaurants) have significant upside for the recovery.

yeah, of course COVID is gonna stay, India just had 9,000 new cases in 1 day,
& winter is coming, which will probably make things worse
You really need to check the share counts. Again, Apple and Tesla split their shares - you get 4 and 5 per for the ones you had. The reason they do this is to make the stock more affordable to normal investors, ultimately driving the stock price higher. You are WAY over $35K. Basically, take every share you have in those two companies, multiply by 4 for Apple or 5 for Tesla, and then by the closing price. That is your current investment value.

46 shares split 5 ways, at $418.32 (USD closing price Friday) alone is $96K.

My only observation, other than forward looking stock guesses, is that you are very reliant on one stock (Tesla), and susceptible to swings based on that.

Since we're on a Mustang site, Ford stock is currently trading under $7 per share. With a 100 share purchase, you get X plan pricing after 6 months. The savings on a new vehicle purchase can exceed the stock cost.

I'd recommend Mutual Funds Like a Total Stock Market, or S&P 500 vs buying individual stocks, but that is me. I prefer the simplicity and ease of it. Plus they track what you own anyway.

FYI - you havent lost 75K unless you sell then you lock in your losses.

so you are buying and supporting Amazon now too; meaning you will benefit directly from their abuse of their workers that you complain about all the time?
hypocrisy much?

Tech stocks are leading the market down. Good day to buy. You should check out QQQ, it is all Tech stocks, top 100 I think, or 100 NASDAQ stocks. I might buy a 100 shares when we have our next bear market.

ummm, well, maybe because you have some integrity and the words that leap from your keyboard actually have some meaning or comprehension behind them?

or maybe because you don't want to do the things that you say other people are horrible and evil for doing?

oops, sorry, temporary lapse of reason, don't know what I was thinking . . . . I forgot the liberal's motto "do as I say, not as I do" and the basic reality "it's all bullsh*t"
