How long do you have to hold a stock for it to be considered long term?
To the average investor who buys and sells on the internet, holding a stock 12 months can be very long term. To a day trader 1 hour can be long term. All day traders exit by close of day to avoil getting trapped by bad overnight news. Its all relative. I do think, gone are the days of buy and hold for 20 years. Its too easy to get in and out with a mouse click these days, and most people do not have the patience to hold a stock for more than 6 months if it isn't moving up. Warren Buffett says long term to him is "forever." Not my style. But I admit, if every stock you bought, you asked yourself if it would be worth holding forever, youd make a lot less mistakes. To me, if you are a short term or swing trader, a long time is 3 weeks. If you are a position trader which is medium or intermediate term hold, a long time is 6 months. But if you truly want to hold long term, think at least 18 months -10 years.

If you cash in stock options how are you taxed?
"Cashing in" stock options is done by exercising them then immediately selling the stock. You can't just take the stock option to the company accountant and ask for money. If you don't hold the stock long enough, your gains are taxed as ordinary income. (If you hold the stock long enough - there are two concurrent calendars, and you've got to hold the stock for two years after you got the option plus one year after you bought the stock, and the second issue only comes into play if you waited more than a year to exercise the option, then you're taxed at the capital gains rate.)
