What I have lost today in this scenerio is what I termed 'unrealised loss'. I believe quite a number of people will fall in this category because the loss is one that have been made by the reason of holding, the loss came as a result of the drop in the value of our investment from what it was some days back and not as a result of sale.
Currently, I have an unrealized loss of about $100 because I made some some not too long ago and that was when the price was in the region of the $4,500 but the loss will soon turn to real profit soon.
An 'unrealized loss' is still a loss. Its like pulling a blanket over your head so you can't see the wreckage of your trade.
