I'm confused.  What's the situation that means that even with the prices at the highest they've ever been, you're still not in profit?

MtGox have your BTC and won't let you withdraw them with proof of id?  If not, can't you withdraw them and sell them privately?

Or are you just saying that you started with $X, now have $Y worth of BTC, where Y >> X, but you don't consider if a real profit until you have at least $X back in 'real money'?
