Zuckerberg has not lost any MONEY. The VALUE of the stock he still owns has dropped, but the MONEY that he put in the Bank when he sold some of his holdings in the Facebook IPO is still sitting there.And it’s amazing the number of people who think, “Oh no! My stock lost money. I’ve got to sell it NOW before it loses more!”when they should be thinking, “Oops, I bought into the hype. Do I think that this stock will go back up given time?”If you sell now you lost money, if you wait, it’s an investment that may pay off.
