<human>: I have some shares in Chevron. 500 shares, to be exact. I was given them when I was about 10 years old, and I've never done anything with them. However, I was informed by the broker who handles my account that they hit a record high not long ago.

Since I don't know much about taxes, or anything like that, I was wondering if I should liquidate these assets while they're high instead of simply sitting on them.

My thoughts:
Sell 500 shares, wait until the stock drops back to about 65-70, and purchase at least 500 shares again, while taking the leftover as profit. However, it's my understanding that these shares actually provide dividends, and obviously I won't be getting that if I've sold my shares. So what should I do?

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Should I sell my 500 shares of Chevron, take the tax hit from the record high, and wait to re-purchase at 65-70 while missing out on the dividends?
