Where Did it Go?
Bottom line - Where did all this lost money go?
​
Did it ever actually exist such that it could be "lost"?

Re: Easy Come Easy Go
In other words the "loss" is the money that could have been made if you had somehow known to sell all of your butter at the peak of the market?
​
Where this gets more serious (maintaining your "analogy") is when you have planned a long term future in the butter business and then suddenly all your butter becomes all but worthless for an extended period of time.
​
Maybe that is a more practical sort of loss that we can actually identify with.
