A lot of the "losses" on the stock market are what they call paper losses. There are people who own stock, and do not plan to sell it right away, but their stock is priced at the same price as someone who just sold there's a couple minutes ago.
So if you bought stock yesterday, and the price today is less than it was yesterday, but you are not planning on selling it until after christmas, have you really lost any money? Not until you know what the price is when you go to sell it.
Some people complain that their stocks have lost money because they bought it 5 years ago for $5 and then it went up to $15, but last week it went down to $10. Did they really loose any money? No, they are still up $5 from what they paid.
If you panic in the kind of stock markets we have right now, and sell everything, you can lock in your losses. Which is frequently unecessary, because if you just hang on for a while things usually come back around, and your stocks will be fine. |

Actually the correct answer is the money goes on the other side of the trade.
There are ALWAYS 2 sides to a trade.
One side is a buyer.
One side is a seller.
One will have a gain.
One will have a loss.

selling a car and selling a stock is not the same thing. There is no live and orderly market in car sales where you have market markets setting bids and asks, being oversight regulators, etc. You don't have people shorting Mercedes and buying Honda's to hedge against their Mack Truck inventory.
Not the same thing. |

If you buy a car for $5000 and later sell it for $4000, where does the money go? Same thing. |

the money goes to the counterparty to the trade; someone ends up with more money, someone else ends up with less, but new money is neither created nor destroyed.
it's much like buying a car; if you buy it for £20,000 brand new then the manufacurer + dealer get that 20k.
when it depreciates, you might sell it for £12k - you have lost £8k personally, but that 8k is simply a difference in price that has been lost.
The same applies to the stock market - though it doesn't mean a load of people are swanning around rich, there are of course some, but the majority loss is caused simply by the fact that anyone who has an interest in acquiring shares from investors will now no longer be willing to pay the premium they paid for them.
As for those who did sell at the "premium" - they may have bought a little below it or a little above it, the market moves every split second (while it's open) |

Some of it isn't real, in that it was only 'paper' loss, e.g. you buy stock at $100. It goes to $120. You have a $20 gain, unrealized. Then it goes back to $110. You have a $10 loss. Or you have a $10 gain. It all depends on how you look at it.
If you sell stock at a loss, then the gain went to whoever you bought the stock from at the higher price. You buy stock at $120. It goes to $100 and you sell. Your loss of $20 is the gain of the person who sold the stock to you, if that makes sense.

It evaporates. It doesn't go anywhere, it ceases to exist. |

It goes to other people. Stocks go down because there are more sellers than buyers. |
