So, I guess the question then becomes, am I better off selling now all of those cards that I overpaid on back in 2021 and banking the money or holding on to them with the hopes that values come back one day closer to where they were when I bought them. I know, nobody has a crystal ball to know that, wish I did.
I think we are all telling you to sell them now and put the money someplace safer. What you paid is irrelevant, really, except to calculate gain or loss for tax purposes. The issue is how to best provide for the future, going forward.
