RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Wow Can't argue with anything you've written except the old "you haven't lost anything until you sell" thing. Sounds great in theory but doesn't hold water in reality. Tell that to your account balance. Holding stock for 2 to 40 years to avoid technically taking a loss is just stupid. Not to mention using stock as collateral(if you could). See how many lenders would value shares worth a quarter at a dollar if that was your original cost. I don't think so.
