There are two types of taxes on gains.. Long Term, which is for stock held for more than a year, and Short term is shorter than that.. The Long term are not taxed or taxed 15% depending on your income. Short Term are taxed as just your regular income. However Loss offsets the Gain which is a good thing here in US.
