I don't want to advocate that one should give tax considerations undue weight in trading decisions, but the relevant measurement is not how low the long-term capital gains rate is but, rather, how much lower it is compared to the short-term capital gains rate. The highest marginal rate on ordinary income today is 35%, so the difference between taking a short-term gain and engineering a long-term gain is significant.
