If I made an investment, but have not sold anything yet so there are no proceeds from the investment, do I have to pay any taxes on the current value of the investment?

No, except in very rare cases, you do not have to pay taxes until you sell/dispose of the investment. The value fluctuations while you hold it do not have to be reported.
