Can an investor who perpetually holds stocks lose money?
I'm kinda confused about stocks, since I'm a crypto holder. Thus, I'm used to seeing value on ideas that have no inherent value. Therefore, I want to draw some hypothetical situation with some rules. Lets imagine I have 200 shares of stock from a company which I bought at $1/share. I'm intending to hold the stock for an infinite amount of time. The rules are  The company never ceases to exist. The broker and exchange ever ceases to exit, implying that i can hold the stocks for an infinite amount of time. The dividend is payed in a currency which never fluctuates. I never sell the stocks, buy more or trade them in any way and they are soul bounded to my body.
