[61]
sort of question and answering here on the channel so with that out of the way
[65]
let's go into the four ways you can sell on the m1 finance platform I'm gonna go
[69]
ahead and flip my screen around here to my on screen here and currently we are
[74]
inside the m1 finance desktop dashboard now here we can see our equity our gains
[81]
or losses etc now we're going to cover four ways to sell now depending on how
[87]
many stocks you have in your portfolio you are going to have your either
[91]
exchange-traded funds you're gonna have your stocks you're gonna have pies here
[95]
that you've created on the platform and that's gonna be a piece of your slice
[99]
now the very first way that you can begin to sell on the m1 finance platform
[103]
is by just on the main portfolio dashboard you're gonna have a couple
[108]
options here you can say like buy and sell and select the sell option now here
[114]
what you're going to be doing if you were to select this put on $100.00 in
[118]
here and sell if you had multiple equities within this pie you would
[124]
actually sell $100 worth of a random amount of companies normally it would
[130]
target the companies that you have it would sell the overweight companies
[135]
in your portfolio and you would have $100 left in your account now this may
[140]
sell Woonsocket could sell to stocks depending on how many companies you have
[144]
within your portfolio they could sell any number of companies out there now
[148]
this could create a bit of a headache during tax season as each one of these
[152]
sells and that doesn't say a taxable County individual comp is a taxable
[158]
event so you don't want to be doing this method because if you're selling on the
[162]
dash board Excel itself and selecting sell and selling out of multiple port
[167]
stocks that is creating multiple taxable events and then you know not an OBE WeDo
[174]
of no bueno scenario there now that is the first method by clicking on your
[178]
portfolio just selling out of all the equities within your portfolio by the
[181]
overweight ones a certain dollar amount now the second method in my preferred
[187]
method of selling stocks is to scroll down here looking look for either your
[192]
stock your exchange-traded fund or your PI and open it up until you get down
[198]
into the individual stock or exchange-traded fund and select it now
[202]
while you're inside of this specific fund you can see here that the account
[207]
is the individual account where now down in the actual fund itself here we can
[212]
sell this specific fund or stock or security by selecting cell and what it
[218]
would do here is if we sold this specific company I could have a hundred
[221]
stocks in this portfolio it would only sell 100 dollars of this specific
[227]
security and then jumping back out here this could be probably a bad example
[232]
I'll jump over into the Roth so in the Roth I have multiple stocks here I could
[237]
if I wanted to sell out a Cisco right now say I'm up two hundred and ten
[240]
dollars I want to take profits right now I could specifically select Cisco go
[244]
into buy sell drop over into the sell and sell 210 210 dollars of my games I
[253]
would be taking my gains out of the market and just selling it and then I
[256]
can move that 210 dollars elsewhere just kind of leaving in cash in order to
[261]
invest somewhere else or kind of way for Cisco to come back down off their highs
[264]
but that would be the second method in my preferred
[268]
method of selling on the m1 finance platform now jump it back over into the
[273]
individual in here now we've covered how to sell from the portfolio we've covered
[278]
how to sell individually now there's a third auction here and that is by going
[283]
and clicking the rebalance now if you have this probably not a good one for
[288]
here we'll jump over to the Roth again if you have multiple stocks exchanging
[294]
the funds or pies you can see that the portfolio the pie up top is very jagged
[298]
you can see Walmart up here very high extended out around the dotted the
[303]
dotted circle on the outside that is our target percentages we can see here that
[308]
Walmart exceeds the target by quite a bit if we go over here and look for
[314]
target let's go ahead and find target target is currently set its current
[319]
equity is at 4.6 out of the total portfolio equity and its target percent
[325]
is only 2% that is why it exceeds by so much it is basically 2.6 percent over my
[332]
target that I have set for Walmart that is why this is extended now if I were to
[337]
go in here and set like the rebalance and then select confirm I would be able
[342]
to rebalance everything it would sell all of my overweight companies so if
[347]
here if I reap out if I select here it'll show you all of these companies
[352]
here that are up towards the top all right see that's the best way it'll
[355]
settle out of all these physicians that are overweight so this has a actual
[360]
three point four of three percent three point nine of three percent two point
[364]
eight of three percent this is actually underweight three point six of three
[368]
percent this would sell point six five point one of three percent this was
[372]
basically sell two point one percent of the equity here it would sell and it
[377]
would move the overweight equity that is there into these underweight positions
[381]
basically bring in this portfolio everything would be back and align all
[386]
those jagged positions that are sticking out will be back down into the actual
[390]
soccer circle and everything would be aligned within the portfolio but again
[395]
if you're doing this in a taxable account if you're going in here and
[398]
selecting rebalance inside a taxable count again this is creating
[402]
another taxable event so you don't want to be going in here and doing the
[406]
buy/sell from the portfolio you don't want to go in here and doing your
[409]
rebalance here from your portfolio that is gonna be creating taxable events for
[413]
you and you don't know how many stocks is gonna be selling you know I don't
[416]
know how many stocks is gonna be buying so every time you're doing this
[419]
that's another taxable event on top of each other now we've covered three ways
[423]
we've covered how to sell from the portfolio we've covered how to
[426]
individually sell from the slices down on the bottom portion we've talked about
[432]
how to rebalance your portfolio and how it'll sell overweight positions and buy
[436]
into underweight positions now the fourth and final option is by selecting
[441]
edit now inside of the Edit here if I were to bring in another company here
[447]
I'm gonna go ahead and add Microsoft here for this example and I'm gonna go
[451]
ahead and hit save and confirm now the fourth and final option is say I had say
[457]
$100 in Microsoft and I had my Vanguard SP 500 fund in there and I no longer
[463]
wanted to be invested in Microsoft I wanted to move all of my cash out of it
[468]
I did it what you don't want to do if you want to get rid of a specific stock
[472]
all the way out of your portfolio don't come in here target it and sell the
[476]
equity what this will do is even if you sell equity inside of a taxable event
[481]
you're gonna sell a dollar amount out of Microsoft even if I have $100 in
[486]
Microsoft I come in here and punch $100 to sell of Microsoft now the next day
[491]
the markets take off I now have a hundred and twenty dollars of equity
[495]
within Microsoft and I only sell a hundred dollars of it I still have 20
[500]
dollars of Microsoft in the account that creates another taxable event for me in
[505]
the future if I want to continue to sell another $20 of that equity so instead of
[510]
targeting a stock to sell out of your portfolio this way if you want to get
[514]
rid of it from your portfolio come on down here into the edit option here
[519]
you're gonna go ahead and select it and remove it from your PI this is going to
[523]
remove it as an investment from your portfolio you're then gonna have to
[528]
increase other portions of your portfolio and order for you to hit that
[532]
hundred percent rate and then you're gonna save it what this
[535]
does if because you have removed that stock from your portfolio it'll actually
[540]
be removed and sold during the next trading day all those proceeds that
[545]
equity will either be reinvested or it'll sit in cash within your portfolio
[549]
to be usable in an upcoming day so those are the four ways of investing again you
[557]
really want to be careful with it a taxable account because each time you
[561]
rebalance each time you sell from the portfolio overall each time you edit or
[567]
you just sell an individual stock down here that creates a taxable event my
[572]
preferred method of selling out of stocks is just to target them
[576]
specifically and sell if I were to sell I very rarely sell or take profits I
[582]
probably should be taking profits currently at all-time highs but at this
[586]
time I am not taking profits but again we're going over the four methods of
[590]
selling on the n1 finance platform so again quick recap number one selling
[595]
from the portfolio just overall selling clicking here you won't have any control
[599]
of how many stocks are actually selling from it'll normally target you're
[603]
overweight stocks but you have no way of knowing which stocks in how many stocks
[608]
you're going to be selling out of number two going down into your slices
[612]
targeting a specific PI and dig it into the PI a specific stocker
[616]
exchange-traded fund selecting that specific stock or exchange-traded fund
[621]
selecting buy and sell and selling a portion of the equity this is not
[626]
removing that specific stock from your portfolio even if you have $100 and you
[631]
sell $100 and it's a negative day you'll probably still have that change left in
[635]
the account or in this fund you don't want to be selling it if you're moving
[639]
out of the portfolio completely or the stock completely you want to be going
[643]
into the edit the third option was the rebalance rebalancing your total
[648]
portfolio so that everything is synced in a circle it'll just look exactly like
[653]
this everything there will be no jaggedness to it it'll be all one circle
[657]
very sync like and the fourth and final option if you're trying to get rid of a
[662]
company all the way out of your portfolio you no longer want to be
[665]
ambassador it you want to go into here select it and remove it from your pie
[670]
select other companies to meet that hundred percent threshold and save so
[675]
those are your four ways of selling on the n1 finance platform I saw this
[681]
question get brought up quite a bit I really want to make a video because I
[684]
see lots of investors jump it over to this platform they're making sales by
[688]
selecting individual stocks or exchanged by exchange-traded fund they're selling
[693]
that company but then they're still invested but they didn't want to be
[696]
invested in any more so go into your edit remove the pie or the stock from
[700]
your portfolio and then you're no longer gonna be invested in it just remember
[705]
again taxable accounts those are all taxable events and you will have to pay
[709]
taxes on your lot on your gains and you'll be able to tax harvest your
[712]
losses so that is it for today's video if you have enjoyed today's video hit
