Not really without moving the price of the stock. You can try it yourself by trading some illiquid securities. It goes with anything you trade - if you trade enough you move the price.
It's also not working capital, it's just a personal asset - albeit unrealized gains. Taxing unrealized gains is like you paying taxes for an increase in value in the house you purchased. Until you sell the house, you may not have the money to even pay it.

You did raise a good point on equity vs working capital though, and I’m still inside the edit window so I’m going to adjust that now. Thanks!
