Same as what the IRS says - more than 1 year. I guess I'd have to say "D."

J. Plesha - For tax purposes "D" + one day....For high tech companies (those at internet speed)...long term could be six months! For companies that I consider core holdings in my portfolio long term is 3-5 years. These include SUNW, CPQ, T, TX, F, WLA, (and many others; I am always adding...) in my specific case.

Warren Buffet's definition of long term is "forever" or unless there is some significant (negative) change in the business.

Long term for me is F) - three years or greater. The tax date is of course also important. I have held most of my core portfolio for more than 5 years.
