Hi porper

no problem, but I think you are taking the example I gave far too literally because of course I accept that no-one sells at the very top on every occasion.

The point I was making is that imo if you watch a share price fall back all the way to break even and then close out the trade when you had opportunities to close out at any time whilst still in profit then I see that paper loss as a 'real' loss as in the similar circumstances I described re Eddie's show.

As I said in my earlier post whether people see paper losses as real or not is up to each individual and so we'll just have to agree to disagree on the 'reality' of paper losses.

cheers

Hi Snake

You have quoted me out of context and that extract was clearly not an analogy on my part of risk at all.

The extract was clearly an example of how I see paper losses in reply to porper's view of paper losses....nothing more, nothing less

Hopefully my above reply to porper will clarify the purpose of my Eddie example for you but if you see it as meaning something else then so be it.

cheers
