You don't lose any money, unless you sell it. It's like buying a car for $5,000, that is now worth $3000. You don't lose any money, unless you actually sell it for less. If you do sell it, it didn't go anywhere. You bought it for $5000 from someone, then sold it for $3000 to someone else. You lost $2000. |

If you buy a new car for $20K and later sell it for $12K, where did the $8K "go"?
You bought in at one price. The market value declines. You sell later at a lower price. It doesn't "go" anywhere. The value of the assets declined.

There isn't any "lost money", so it does not "go" anywhere! Think of it this way; I sell you a bicycle for $100. After a day or a month or a year, you decide you'd rather have some cash, so you sell it to someone else. If you sell it for $120, you made some money. If you sell it for $80, you have lost $20, but that $20 didn't "go" anywhere, did it? |

Actually the most of the "money" never really existed.
On any given day, only a small percentage of the shares that are outstanding are acutally traded. However, at the end of the day, all of the oustanding shares are assigned a value based upon the closing price of the small number of shares that traded.

It's a little tricky to explain, but here goes.
When you buy a stock, it's because you and someone who owns that stock have agreed upon the price. Lets say you buy 100 shares of Widget, Inc. for $5 per share, $500. That price goes up on the board as $5.00. Tomorrow, someone buys a different 100 shares at $6.00 each. Your stock is now valued at that, or $600. You can't put that $100 in your pocket unless you sell that day to someone who wants to buy it. It's only on paper.
Now say disaster happens. Widget does down to $1.00. On paper, you have lost $400 from your original investment. But you don't notice until you sell. It's called an Unrealized Loss/Gain. Some might say you lost $500 (since you could have sold at $600), but they'd be wrong.
So if you didn't sell, the money you "lost" didn't go into anyone's pocket. It was only on paper.
The market looks at the last selling price, and multiplies that by all the shares of Widgets out there, whether or not anyone wants to sell them or not. If Widget had 1 million shares, the market value of the company on the day you bought would be $5 per share x 1 million shares = $5 million. The day after the crash, it's worth $1 million. Where did the $4 million go? It went to all the accumulated individual Unrealized losses.
When you sell, and realize your previously unrealized losses, that's when you see where it went; you paid $500 and sold for $100, you lost $400. But if you hold it until the price goes up again, it never went anywhere.

Short sellers and day traders that got out on top (BECAUSE CASH IS KING [unless your warren buffet]). or long haul investors that bought decades ago and sold...... or it went to the FRB
OK guys! if you are looking at a chart and it is climbing that is due to money pumping it up EPS. The value rises, sooo
when the people sell they either made money from that pump because they bought it at a lower price on the chart or they lost because its now worth peanuts and i guarantee they didn't buy it for peanuts. get real! pie in the sky crap... it didnt lose anything and didnt ever exist, well then the same goes for the American dollar! because we dont use a gold standard! |
