Best Answer

An "unrealized stock gain" is the difference between your basis in the stock and what it's selling for now. If you listen to guys like Jim Cramer, you're supposed to immediately dump the stock, pay taxes on the gain and invest in one of the stocks he's hyping.

I'm going to tell you how to make money the really old-fashioned way: buy and hold. This applies if you like the stock--if you didn't ever like the stock you should get rid of it, but my question is always, 'if you didn't like the stock in the first place, why did you buy it?' Obviously you don't want to lose much of this gain, so my recommendation is to buy a one-year at-the-money put to protect your gain.
