No they shouldn't be due for a holding less than a year. Capital gains are applied on two differnt levels, long-term and short-term. If you hold a capital asset longer than one year, any gain will be taxed at the long-term capital tax rate, which I believe is currently 28%. If held less than a year, gain is taxed as short-term gain which winds up being taxed as ordinary income. So if you happen to fall into a tax bracket lower than 28%, you will pay less tax on the gain from the sale of that asset.
(Well whadyaknow, those tax law classes acctually are useful for something besides saving me from spending $40 on H&R Block)
