Let me this again. I do agree that the original seller has $100 and there is still a share of MSFT in the world.

All the other shares that were worth $100 are now worth $60. Some of those shares were bought at $40 went to $100 in value and are now $60. The "loss" of $40 from the high of $100 has vanished. There is now a potential profit of only $20.

Bottom Line: the market cap of companies swells and shrinks at the whim of investors. In effect, when the last price of a share is higher, inflation has happened.
