Quote from stock_trad3r:
Yea but I'll sell when I feel like it and i'll let you guys know when. I make the majority of my trades public.
But by your logic bill gates is worth only a few billion cause he has 45 billion in unsold stock.
But Bill Gates owns something that isn't a trade. He owns an asset. No one says Bill Gates made a $45 billion trade!
You have to be one of the most dense people on earth. If you woke up tomorrow and GOOG was $250, would you still say you made money? No, you wouldn't. You wouldn't have made or lost anything until you sold...how do you not get that? It's like the most basic premise of investing ever.
And this has nothing to do with "worth" to use your word...of course you can value liquid net worth, but it's only worth that on paper until it's actually in cash or some other common currency.
Your blather is totally inane.
You can also keep your trades quiet, no one wants to know when you actually make 50 cheeseburgers worth of profit.
