What to do before and after "Your $hip comes in"?

What is the most "common" way that folks (& investors) shelter large capital tax gains?

Can folks just borrow against their holdings instead of actually selling stock (for example) that way, there is no gain !

Please add to this thread any information and or links that will allow all of us to, "Plan ahead to maximize our hard earned Profits".

Thank You All
