Investing in shares instead of investing in fd that could have earned more is only oportunity loss.

10 November 2022 The value of a lost chance or a potential profit that was not realized because a course of action was taken that did not permit the investor to obtain that profit.
It's unrealised profit hence not accounted

11 November 2022 Opportunity gain/loss is not a real one hence not accounted.
