But yes, what you have mentioned does happen and in the board room and at work, the "coulda/woulda" money shows up and sometimes costs people their jobs. But GM actually lost the money in this article on their stated balance sheet, real dollars and cents. Scary isn't it? It doesn't seem real, but it is.

Nothing, or very little, is real, maybe this money they say they lost was never real company money in the first place, just money they would have made if a business plan failed to produce. Just like the stock markets. I would have made x amount of dollars but the bottom fell out. Woe is me, I lost millions of dollars, when in fact, I never had the money in the 1st place. I was only going to make it if things went as I planned. I think all this talk about losing this amount of money is akin to the politicians.
