Default Waiting for long-term capital gains?

How do you guys determine whether a stock position you've held for say, 6 months, is worth holding for another 6 just to save the 15% or so on taxes by making that position categorized as a long-term capital gain? I'm having a lot of apprehension right now when considering what to do with stocks that have had large gains but may be due for a pullback. Do I not sell now before the correction if I think it will correct down less than 15%? This is not new to me but I have never felt the need to be generally selling out of big gains more than now. Is there any technique to increase the income? How Much Money Can I Make?

You must have heard a technique called killer move technique to win the stock. It is one wherein you have to kill on the first move. I used this "killer move" technique to devise the quickest way to make a killing with stocks that are getting ready to skyrocket or plummet. Port folio Craft has helped me applying this technique. You can get further detail at their website. I think it’s PortfolioCrafter.com. It is good to actually have a master stock trader on your side for once! Finally someone I can trust! The Portfolio Crafter could not be more helpful, understanding and more right! I have been stunned again and again over some of the gains I have seen through Portfolio Crafter
