    Still not how that works, if he wants cash he has to sell, selling stocks is heavily taxed. Now he can take a loan against the stocks but if they don’t do well then he’s not going to get much for them. It’s a risk and taxes is paid like it or not.

    Still a shit system, but that’s a different discussion, but they pay taxes.

        If they sell after holding it for more than a year, if they short term sell the stock under a year it’s a normal income tax on said stock.
