You won't lose more than you have invested.
Only idiots trade on margin when they don't know what they're doing. So assuming you're not an idiot, and you're trading in cash only, you can't lose more than your initial investment.

Imagine you have $10,000.00 in that fictional company from the film "Fun with Dick and Wayne" starring Jim Carrey.
And you bought 1,000.00 shares at $10.00 each.
If the shares drop 50% ($5.00) you will still have $5,000.00
If the shares drop all the way to $1.00 you will still have $1,000.00
Even if your shares drop to $0.01 you will still have $10.00
The only way to lose more than what you have is if you have a margin account. Which is like a Credit Line but for stocks.
If you have $25,000.00 they will give you $100,000.00
If you have $250,000.00 they will give you $1,000,000.00
If you trade on margin you can lose up to 4 times the money you have in your brokerage account.
However, you just sell one of your cars (In the first case) or your beach house (In the second case) and you paid off your debts.
Keep in mind, someone investing $100,000.00 in the stock market will probably have a Financial Advisor keeping an eye on his money to avoid heavy losses (Bigger than 25%) and someone investing $1,000,000.00 in the stock market will probably have a Portfolio Manager keeping an eye on his money to avoid light losses (Bigger than 10%)

Don't place more money in stocks than you can reasonably afford to lose. If you can't lose the money no matter what, go for a CD. They pay crap for interest, but they're safe.
Get a good broker. Talk to him/her about your plans and how much you have to invest, how much you need the money, and what you expect from investing. Move slowly and use a professional unless you are really knowledgeable about stocks, as I am guessing you are not.
Good luck! |

Only if you play the option or future market. Or you short a security in a rising market such as precious metals. |

No, you won't.
In stock investment, the worst case is you loose the amount you invested. (Unless you are debt financed or you invest in derivatives.) |

If you are buying shares in a cash account or directly from the company, you cannot lose more than you invested. The only way you can lose more than you invested is if you purchased the shares using credit in a margin account. If you are just starting out investing, DO NOT do this. Not only can you lose more than you started with, but you'll pay interest on the margin loan, too.
If you never invested in the stock market before, do two things.
1. Learn about the markets. Check out the tutorial section on www.investopedia.com
2. Do some play investing. Do your research, pick a few stocks, and track how they do over several months. Watch how the stock prices move in reaction to company specific, macro economic, and world news. You'll get more comfortable with the market and feel more confident when you take the plunge.
Good luck! |

Well, unless you invest with leverage, you shouldn't be able to lose more than you have. But if that happened, I would call it, "ripoff". As in you have been by your brokerage |
