Default Re: Re-Balancing the Portfolio

Rebalancing is more useful (and practical) in tax deferred or tax free accounts like 401K's. Personally I would not sell any stock for a short term gain just for the sake of rebalancing. If for some reason you think the stock is overpriced then I would sell, otherwise I like to save that big tax bite whenever possible.
