Anyway, since it was I who started all this :-), so let me restate my point :

Let's say I invest $1000 on a stock and I make a profit of $500. It will make me happy (obviously!). Now, let's measure the amount of happiness and call it "X".

However, if, instead of a profit of $500, I lost $500, I will be unhappy (of course!). Let's measure the amount of sadness now. It will not be "X", but much higher than that, say "3X" or "4X" or thereabouts.

Dipy.
