doing a buffett

my mom told me that my gains are just on paper because i don't sell.  she, on the other hand, regularly trades in the stock market.

me:  'mom, we're different.  you buy to sell.  i'm here to keep.  you're speculating.  i'm investing.'

as the tagline of baron funds goes:

"It's about the investment.  Not the market."

from the Wealth Wizards gallery by Forbes:

“I had been involved in short sales for a couple years, and the managing partner, a senior trader, called me in. He said ‘Ron, you’re a very good analyst, but you’re wasting your time on short sales; show me the short sellers’ yachts.’”
