It's a lost opportunity.

Eventually you may find yourself back to even or profit, but there's a cost of lost opportunity while it sits there trying to get back to where you started.

It can even make sense to sell at a loss to put your money back to work depending on your next plan.
If you're an active trader, sure. But most people do not have the time, energy, and sophistication that takes. Buy and hold, and broad based funds, work better for most people as I understand it.
