DoNot labelled me as cynical this last week. There may be some truth to that but clarifying my motivation: amusement in the trenches. Of course, money is lost without selling, frequently so. Why would I say that money isn't lost until....? It is hilarious in the face of the suicidal pumper mentality which undoubtedly relies on that thought for fortitude (aka stupidity). I was that for a long time and knew we were in trouble after the Perry appeal and the nature of the court audio discussion. Still, I don't want to look too closely (lest I hurt myself) but believe I have finagled enough trades along the way to avoid a dumpster fire of what otherwise would be bounty for my heirs. Still, I should have bailed when I warned others in January 2017(sorry I edited out august...old and senile), the last time FNMA sold for $4.

Still I am blown away that this is not a takings, but Perry informed me how hell bent the US is on undamped Bureaucracy Growth. I am surprised that they didn't appoint a TP Czar to control TP supply issues during the COVID lockdown.

agree -- but --- maybe "two" "situations

re the totality of the "trade or investment" -- you have not lost until you sell and then there is no chance to get back to even

re the value of your account or net worth - you are down and have - at this point - lost X
