Yep. That's the conundrum. If the company is doing so obviously well that the shares are likely to be worth something in the future, then they are almost certainly already valued high and have a huge potential tax hit. In hindsight, mo

Great analysis. Thanks for that. I admit I'm totally just an armchair observer here. There are the market fundamentals, and there's the reality of irrational exuberance and whatever is likely to happen in the market regardless. So
