    Your house is taxed… why are stock portfolios not taxed each year against their value on Jan 1st? Or median value over the year or something?

      If a person was to get taxed against the value of stocks every year and that person holds onto those stocks for multiple years, they’re getting taxed multiple times for that same value. The idea of taxing unrealized gains is probably the most ignorant thing to ever come out of her mouth.
