Retirement tax questions

Thank you sir for providing a solution.

 

 I did go through the steps in Vanguard to explore this option now.

If I decide to recharacterize the contribution of 6000 to Roth IRA, do I need to move the exact stocks which were bought using that 6000 and move it to Roth IRA? Do I need to sell the stocks and then move the move them to Roth?
