Not all of it, just a portion. You would only ever lose all your money if it went to 0 or perhaps bankrupt. Say the stock dropped to 50 cents, you would still own 500 shares at 50 cents, now it's just worth a total of $250. |

Only the difference between 500x 1.00 per share and what 500 x the lower price is.... not all your money, unless the shares went to zero |

You do not lose any money until one of two things happens either you sell the shares or the company goes bust. However a word of caution here I notice you talk about buying shares but no explanation of how you bought them. Is this company's shares quoted on a recognised stock market ? If not you may have gifted your money to someone. |

1 share = 100 drops by 1.2% = share now worth 98.8 %
1 share =100 goes up 1 % share =101.1% a 1 percentage gain
times that by you 500 and you can work out you lose/gain |

it is simple math... take the number of shares and multiply by the cost per share. Now subtract (loss) or add (gain) this new amount from or to the original amount.
This will show the new amount of money involved (minus any trading fees and such) |

only if you sell the shares. if they go down just look at them like they are savings hold onto them until they go up again. |

If you sell when it drops then yes you loose money, but if you hold onto it it may go back up, if you were to sell then you would gain money. |

You would only lose all of your money if the stock went to $0. If the price just dropped $.05, for example, you would lose $25. If it fell by $.10, you would lose $50, etc. |

The lose all of your money # is 0. 0 being done not 0 bid which has about a 1 in a billion chance of recovery. You'll have a paper loss of purchase price minus current price times # of shares. |

No you will not lose all of your money. Say you have 500 shares at £1 per share purchase price, your stock would have an acquisition cost of £500. If the price went down to 50 pence per share, your shares would be valued at £250 i.e. you would lose half of your money. You would only lose all of your money if the price falls below the cost price of £1 which would not happen as that means the company into whom you have invested has gone brankrupt. |

No you don't lose all your money but the stock may be delisted from public trading making it tough for you to find a buyer. Most public exchanges like NASDAQ or NYSE delist stocks if they trade below $1.00. |
