Good to see you Sesame!
It has been ages. As for my trading, I'm really much too lazy and poor to be much of a "trader." I do some trading, but too much of it, and the commissions eat up your profit. A lot of my stock holdings I buy for the dividend income (which I generally reinvest in stocks) and secondarily for the capital gains. Since I invest for dividends, that means that my average holding period is usually at least 6 months.
