My stock is currently at 50% of basis price. No point in selling. Defense stocks will have to make a huge recovery for any kind of capital gains hit.

I have a little stock, not retirement, and the only reason I keep it is because its a sentimental favorite and the organization is from around where I grew up, plus it pays very tiny stock dividends and has been for about 100 yrs...I reinvest it ...

I think of it as a nice gift for my grandchildren in 20 yrs....

but gees...why keep it if dividends are going to be taxed so high..
