Short term gains (less than one year holding period) are more or less taxed like ordinary income where as long term gains are taxed at a much lower rate.

what he said ^

Long term gains are at a flat 15%, where as short term gains are at your income tax bracket. So if you're baller like W in 35% bracket, you're paying 35% on your short term gains. haha

And any larger amount of gains, may require you to make quarterly payments to the IRS and State gov.
