A lot of people would (and do!) take the position OP's girlfriend has taken. I mean, it's not as silly as believing that a BAC of .08 means your blood is 8% alcohol, and I bet a lot of people believe that.

Girl: This stock I bought in 2000 for $100 is now selling at $5
Guy: I heard they might be filing for bankruptcy soon. Better sell now.
Girl: Are you crazy? That's a hudge loss. I'll just hold it until it gets back to $100.

Broker: I'm sorry these stocks are worthless. That company went out of business over 50 years ago.
Girl's Granddaughter: But grandma, God rest her soul, said these stocks would pay for my college.
