If it holds at that level for a year, take it then. You will save quite a bit on your tax liability. The gain moves from Short to Long term, more favorable tax liability. Though if you are worried about a drop back to this level, you might want to take the gain and just bite the bullet on the taxes. Caveat, if you have other investments that have losses, you can use those to offset some of your capital gains here, but only up to $3,000.
