Re: Simple Q&A - Stock market investing

I need your thoughts

I bought a stock and now its 30% down.
I'm thinking of like selling it and buy it when it goes lower like 40% or 50% or more from my initial position, is this a good idea?

Re: Simple Q&A - Stock market investing

I have a question regarding selling stocks / mutual funds / ETF

What happens if I sell a stock and gain 100 yen out of it? Is it still taxed?
Does long-term and short-term capital gains tax rate exist in Japan? like holding a stock for a year to have a lower tax rate?

Thank in advance
