Let's say you take a presumed long term position in a stock that ends up hitting your price target in only 6 months. If you sell, you are taxed at a higher ST rate, based on income. If you hold and wait for the 15% LT capital gains tax, you risk giving up the gains. I considered buying puts, but unless the puts are > 1 year out then those would also incur short term gains if the stock were to go back down. Thoughts?
