I don't quite understand this question. Or if its rhetorical... But Ima shoot at it:
When you have investments in the stock market, and the stock goes down, your investment is worth less.
Technically when you buy the stock the money is gone, but instead you gain an asset, which is not cash but its worth something.
The only time you experience a loss is when you sell stock lower than what you buy it for. Therefore your $40 are worth less.
Example:
GE is trading at $40 a share and I buy 1 share for $40.
So I took $40 cash and got back $40 worth of a company.
If the company stock goes down to $30. My investment is now worth $30, matching the current price.
If I would decide to sell it the're. I would experience a loss of $10. $40 - $30 = $10. I will get back $30 instead of my original $40.
Now If the stock went up to $50, and I would sell it, I would experience a gain of $10. $40 + $10 = $50. I would get my $40 back plus an extra $10.
****This is for simplification, it does not include commision and other fees that are included in the buying and selling of stock. |

when you bought stock, you gave your money to the seller, the seller gave you the shares.
So, instead of money, you now have shares, an asset that will have a market value
If the market goes up, the value of your asset will go higher, you could sell and receive more money than you had
If the market goes down, the value of your asset is less than before You can either hold on to it, or sell it but you'll receive less money than you had before |

stock market is like computer 0 and 1. but a slight change, is the broker and the government in between.
one's profit is someone else's loss.
the one who loses is the one with less/no information and
the one who wins is the one with good information. |

It go's down the toilet, unless you try and ride it out. If you sell off you have to take the cut. |
