The author is a moron, it’s not “profit” unless you sell...
As J.P. Morgan observed, “Stocks will fluctuate.”
If you so happen to be worth $50 billion, a 20% market rally will raise the book value of your wealth by $10 billion.
When the inevitable bear market comes, there will be stories of how Warren lost $15 or $20 billion.
This is a non-story.
