Apparently, stocks only lose value and never regain or exceed declines.

Also, if you have investments in stocks or other instruments or commodities, you apparently lose money even if you choose not to sell.
That seems to be the takeway from the reporting of the last week (and many concerned posters here).

If the market loses 100% tomorrow I still won't lose a penny
Because I won't sell tomorrow

Even if they regain value, you still lost on your rate of return.
Everyone loses, not just those who sell

He wiped out 1 years worth of stock market gains in two days, and tomorrow looks bad too.
Imagine all the 65+ year olds that were about to retire. They just lost 10-12% of their retirement in 3 months.

So...
I buy 1000 shares at 75
Share price drops to 60
It then goes to 85 and I sell.
How exactly have I, or my investments, been damaged by my $10,000 gain?

I'm hoping you just chose your words poorly but otherwise you're going to need to clarify this sentence

The last 7 years have spoiled people. Those of us who lived through Obama know what it’s like to see red.

Nothing stops me from buying more at $60.

Right because when companies lose 10% of their value employees never get fired and regular people aren’t effected.

You could have sold higher than 80 had the market not fallen
You lost 15, gained 25. That puts you 15 behind where you potentially could have been

This whole argument is contingent on the flawed premise that stocks only go up.
