During bear markets/crashes people talk about selling or moving into bonds/gold/property etc but they never mention the tax hit they'll take when they sell their assets.
If it's a retirement account, it makes more sense (no taxable income) but if it is just a portfolio of stocks or funds isn't the tax potentially worse than the dip? I mean you'd have to make 15% to offset that, or if the market falls more you'd be in the back past a 15% drop.
Curious why this isn't mentioned much? Am I missing something?
