The Low-Cost-Basis Asset Do you own a low-cost-basis asset, like a stock you bought 30 years ago for $5 per share that is now worth $50 per share? While everybody wants that type of appreciation out of their stock picks, there can come a time when the thought of the government claiming some of our profit in the form of taxes becomes a very distressing notion. So, what happens if I sell that stock for $50 per share and have a realized long term capital gain of $45 per share?
