value has nothing to do with current loss.
no more complicated than that.
current loss is zero.
Sure... people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing
However.. it is not called a "value chart" ... its called a "price chart"
Like I am kinda donkeying around here, but alas, the guy if he sold today, or had to report today for accounting purposes.. is down, like all jokes aside .....
Tomorrow, he could get squashed to death by a fattie that did an accidental sitting on them, who knows what happens tomorrow.
Today though, that guy is down half a billion dollars....
Probably NOT the worst problem he could have , and yes tomorrow or next month he could be at break even again... but today the bro is down.
Try paying for shit with your unrealised p/l , it does not work
Down is down, and up is up... like when people are praising this guy in a few years , about his amazing gains, which I am sure they will be... then he will no doubt be the first to say " I was down half a billion dollars , and now I am up 2 billion dollars" and you are not going to say to him... "bro you ain't in profit until you sell bro"
