Welcome to the world of investing! Invest wisely and beware of "hot stock tips". Dollar (use your local currency) cost averaging and mechanical, unemotional investing can reap rewards. Ping me directly if you want to discuss investment strategies. Would be happy to share my successes (and many failures!).

No, thank you. My retirement is all indexed funds.
Up 30% last year.
Not so much, so far, this year.

To quote my wise grandfather, "A stock that doesn't pay a dividend isn't worth a damn."
If you are happy with the company's dividend and are confident the dividend is secure (some of them won't be now) then you can sleep comfortably if the stock price falls. Now you are an investor, not a day trader. Most day traders have ended up losing money unless they are trading with someone else's money, in which case they make money no matter which way the market goes. If you are a day trader with (another) full time job you don't have time to do both well.

I'm guessing that like in the US, most countries have two ways of determining capital gains: short term and long term. In the US short term gains are those that are less than one year, they are taxed at a higher rate than those that are held for one year and 1 day.
Be mindful of the income tax consequences.

... about a problem with my hearing.
He asked me to describe the symptoms, so I told him that Homer is a fat bald guy, and Marge has blue hair.
I'd get my coat, but we aren't allowed out ... unless you are a Scottish or NZ Health minister, of course.

I was feelin' so bad,
I asked my family doctor just what I had,
I said, "Doctor, Doctor
Mr. M.D.,
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me,
What's ailin' me?"
Sorry couldn't resist!
I'm hiding from exercise...I'm in the fitness protection program.

Maybe its rapt -completely fascinated by what one is seeing or hearing and thus silent?

Well I wasn't going to say raptor sh*t, so it left it.
