If paper gains don't count, than why doesn't the entire world just sell every single investment they own.

Aren't paper gains a function and purpose of investing?

i.e. make a purchase, allow to appreciate/depreciate, sell for gain/loss.

The number of investors who chose to sell shares for a realized gain/loss depends on short, mid, and long-term perceptions of earnings.

I believe most investors have high hopes for the new 4K products and services that the company just began providing- which could result in increased earnings on future (audited) Filings.

Paper gains mean everything, really. They measure the increase in market value of an investment since purchase.
