You're not wrong, except the part where the money becomes more real once you sell the stock. All assets are like this -- if you lasso an asteroid that contains $45 umptillion of gold, you won't be able to sell it for $45 umptillion because you'll crash the gold market. Money has the same problem -- when the money supply grows, everyone has less money per money, which we call inflation.
