Paper losses are REAL losses. Only in the sense of unrealized losses vs. realized losses. Plenty of stocks dip in the after hours and go back up at the open; were those real losses? Of course not. Then I don't understand your logic. You have an agenda that makes you obfuscate the obvious: Buy low. Sell high. It ain't rocket science. You have no idea where the market is going. Might as well flip a coin. Nor do you, even with your $559-a-year tipsheet. <ahem> The short-term direction of the market is essentially random. Historical returns, however, show stocks outperforming bonds over the long term.
