I have started doing some small daily stocks on Rakuten and recently made the first sell.

Where can I check in Rakuten interface, how much profit was made on each finished transaction? Where shall I be looking?

would investing in emaxis S&P 500 and emaxis ALL COUNTRY be more or less the same thing? Should I decide on one rather than going 50?50 on those to funds?

Not really.

This is All country - AKA (MSCI ACWI index) - https://www.msci.com/documents/10199/a7 ... b1213bc3c5

There is too much overlap.

I have made a few purchases on 特定 account and sold a few stocks. If I understand correctly, 特定 account has capital gains tax paid automatically, but at what stage is it paid (e.g., before withdrawing the funds, etc)?

I have a question,
Yen is going down right now and I have yen in my bank right now.
I was wondering should I save it
or invest it in US stocks or Japanese stocks

That will depend on your situation, your goals, and your financial plan.

I just want to buy and maybe sell after 5 years or 10 years

I'm now pressured to buy cause everything is going down haha
I have yen so don't know if its better to buy Japan stocks like Capcom
or US stocks like Paypal,Google, Broadcom
