If I sell something for $50 million and need to spend $58 million to cover, I'm down $8 million. There's no need for an 8x increase in valuation.

Yes agreed with your example. The total loss in your example is only 16%. In the example provided above he starts with $1mill and has a loss of $7 mill. Thats a 700% loss.
