Forty is only the value if you actually sell at that moment. What you recognize is certainly how you would value a position, but means little if you don't sell. Eventually the value may be less or more. If you needed to liquidate at the moment you are correct! If you needed to see what a bank is willing to loan you based on the value of your stock, it would have a bearing on what they'd loan you. Until you sell, you don't have any money at all, you own a piece of the business.

You have not suffered a loss, tax wise or otherwise unless you sell. Right? The only indication of what something is worth is what the marketplace says it's worth WHEN you sell it!

If I believe my $40 stock is undervalued and don't sell and I wind up correct in the end, i.e. I sell for more later, was that fantasy? Did I EVER suffer a loss?. No. I always owned the same piece of the company 'till I sold.
