investment loss
Money market setback
An investment loss occurs when an asset is sold or valued at less than what was paid for it.
The term covers realized losses (when you actually sell) and unrealized or "paper" losses (when value drops but you still hold the asset).
We claimed the investment loss on our taxes.
Capital loss is a related term with specific tax implications.
