And I don't really want to sell my shares (all taxable so large capital gains).

Assuming you're in the USA and don't plan to donate your shares to charity...is there some perceived disadvantage to paying LT cap gains taxes today vs paying LT cap gains taxes at some unknown date in the future? Do you think LT cap gains rates in the future won't be the same or higher than they are today?

I see this on the board all the time and don't really get it.

Maybe I'm dense.
