on each of side of a trade there are buyers and sellers. therefore if one losses money someone else has cumulative made money.
therefore in the stock market money is not lost; someone has a gain.
losses in the investment consisting of mortgages and other exotic investments experienced by investors are indeed losses experienced by the investors. whoever sold the investors the investments has received the money and has benefited though not in the amount of the investor loss.
example--person purchases a home at $200,000 and a no money down mortgage. The mortgage is higher than $200,000 because of loan fees and other closing costs such as appraisal fees, closing costs, etc. the seller of the home probably recognizes a gain on the sale of the house, the mortgage company, appraiser, title company, etc. recognize income from the mortgage and sale transaction. the mortgage company packages the $215,000 mortgage with other mortgage and sells it mortgage package to investors and an investment paying interest income as the mortgage payments are collected. a brokerage company sells the packaged mortgages and makes income from the sale to investors.
next the investors, banks, individuals, other financial institutions, need to write the investment down because there is with the housing crises, no market for such packaged mortgage investments. you see a host of individuals and other business have made money alone the way and the end purchaser of the packeged morgtage investments is the loser because of the iliquidity of the investments..
The government now buys the toxix asset investments to get the investments of the books of the financial entities and replace them with cash at the discounted value to avoid the financial entities from going into bankruptcy.
jon some of these packaged mortgage investments, the government is indicating that the discounted purchase price of these packaged mortgage investments will recover and actually over time be worth more than the price the government purchased at. |

what?

it doesn't go anywhere. it just disappears.
trillions of dollars of accumulated wealth has been wiped out in the last year. some short sellers were able to gain from this, but there are more people long the market than short it at any given time.
let's assume that there's a stock, for which there are no short sellers.
it drops $5, and there are 100 shares. that's a $500 loss.
this $500 doesn't go anywhere. it's basically the same as if you had lit the money on fire. it just doesn't exist anymore. |

Back to the investors who put it there in the first place. The market is a place of trust and as the .vix illustrates, nobody wants to trust it. Hope I helped! |

You have 100 and I have 1 share of ZZZ
You buy 1 ZZZ share for 1000 and now have ZZZ + 0 and I have no ZZZ but 100 in cash.
Market price of ZZZ drops to 90. You now have stock valued at 90 and I still have the 100 in cash.
Answer: the people who sold at the top still have the money.

It's simply changing hands. The stocks move down when one person is willing to take a lower price for a stock and another person is willing to buy it at that price. Many times, the person selling it is "short" on the stock, meaning they are selling it before they buy it at a lower price (buy low, sell high, just not in that order). The money is taken off the table by the short trader, at the expense of the regular Joe. In essence, the money is being taken from the slow investor, and given to the fast trader. It's not gone - just changed hands. I've made over 20% on my money by doing this over the past month and a half, while the market falls into the toilet. |

They arent going any where. The value of a stock is simply the last price that was paid for it in the market. If you own a share of a stock that last sold for $100, then the value of yours stock is listed in your portfolio as $100. If the next sale of the stock is $99, you just "lost" a dollar. But nobody else gained it, it just "disappeared".

Since it is not real money but rather paper gains, it is not going anywhere. It doesn't become real money until the stock is sold and at that point the difference is erased and is non-existent so nothing has gone anywhere.
Sort of like if I told you I was going to give you $100. You started with nothing and until I give you the actual cash you still have nothing. In your mind, you have $100 because of the promise, but if I don't give you the $100, you will have thought you lost the $100 but you never really had it.
With the stock market, people invested money, the value of the stock went up and then came back down. People are looking at the amount the stock came back down as a loss, yet they still have the stock (which may or may not be worth as much as they paid for it) and until they sell the stock, they really haven't lost anything. |

Click on the link below for an introduction into "who owns world's money markets".
J.P Morgan was thought to be the richest man in america...in fact he only owned 19% of the company that bore his name. Eighty-one percent was held by a foreign investor.

It doesn't just disappear - the stock market is based on supply and demand, so when a stock goes down, it means a lot of people are selling (on a very basic level). So, when you invest in a company that has it's stock price driven down by half, the half of the money you "lost" went to investors that sold before you did. |

money is not lost, value is lost. the same amount of shares, which is what is bought, remains the same |
