When’s the last time you made a friend? Not just someone you see at work, or someone who is an acquaintance – a real friend.

The opportunities are more significant now, as are the potential consequences of a suboptimal decision, because prices of many stocks increased significantly in recent years. Yet, many people diminish their benefits by rushing their decisions. The key tax break is known as net unrealized appreciation, or NUA.
