If I remember correctly, the IRS has a capital gains break point at holding a stock either over or under a year. You pay less % if you hold a stock over a year than if you sell it before a year is up.

So if you have had this stock less than a year, and you are getting 'antsy' to sell it, the truth is that you are NOT a true 'long'.
