You're up on paper and wondering if you should take it off the table and buy back lower.

Here is the framework. The key word is unrealized. Those gains only exist on paper. The moment you cash out, they become realized, and in a regular taxable account that triggers a taxable event. So cashing out to reinvest later is not a free move. You are voluntarily handing a piece of your gains to taxes.

And selling to buy back lower is really trying to time the market. Even the most sophisticated investors get that wrong a lot. What happens to a lot of people is they sell, the price keeps going up without them, and now they're stuck watching from the sidelines.

Unrealized gains are not a problem to fix. Selling is a decision with a price tag.

Have you ever sold and watched it run without you?
