Apologies for the low level question. If for example I had stocks over the course of 30 years, and the value put me in the green and in the red over time, is it ultimately the realized gains at the moment of selling the only number that really "matters"? In other words, if my portfolio was negative/red for 29 years and then for some unrealistic reason it spiked and it was up/green by x dollars when I sold, does the 29 years of red matter at that point?
