You might as well say it's a 100% loss until you sell. After all, it's money you can't spend.

No, you don't. Not for a company that is making zero profit.

GameStop has not paid out a dividend since March 2019. So, not even that.

Neither of the absurd oversimplifications the two of us have offered are how investment works. That was kind of my point.

That said, I still think my provocation is more on point. See: opportunity cost.

Your comments may be absurd, but mine are based on my actual investment strategy. You’re just yelling at a guy who is doing his thing.
