NHP, unless you intend to die soon, you aren't saving any taxes by holding onto SNDK. You are saving the interest on those taxes. In the meantime, SNDK is down a very real $10 from its $80 high.

You might want to consider giving some shares to a qualified charity. In that way you'll get a write-off against ordinary income instead of paying taxes on a long-term gain. If you were going to give money anyway, appreciated shares are much better than cash. And yes, for a very small fee, your broker can get you a stock certificate for less than 100 shares.
