Definition: A profit that occurs when you're still holding the stock that has appreciated in value. Commonly called "unrealized gain."
TeenAnalyst Advice: If your stock doubles without you selling it, you'll have 100% in paper profit. You don't get to actually call it a gain until you sell it. Once you sell it, you have to pay taxes on it.
Never consider a paper profit a real profit. Only do so when you sell it.
