Companies sell stocks to raise money for the company. When a company wants to raise money they can decide to sell ownership of their company. To do this they determine the total monetary value of the company as a whole. They then determine how many fractions they want to divide the company into (each of these fractions is one share of that companies stock). Then the find investors who would like to buy partial ownership of the company and sell them the parts of the company. For Example: Lets say Company X is worth $15 milllion and they want to divide ownership of the company into 1 million parts. They would create 1 million share of Company X stock and each share would be worth $15. They could then sell the shares to investors who would then own part of the company equal to 1/1,000,000 times the number of shares they own.

The "stock market" refers to the sum of all the shares of stock that are publicly owned. The "value" of a share of stock is simply an estimate of what someone would pay you for that share if you chose to sell it. If you own a share and continue to own that share, what you own is the stock. In that case, you don't own money - any amount of money - you just own the stock. So when "the stock market" "loses value" no real money is lost - except from stock owners who choose to sell at low prices. The value lost is the amount of money that WOULD be lost by the current stock owners if all the shares were sold.
Short selling is selling stock that the seller doesn't own. When you short sell a stock, a broker will lend it to you from their own inventory, from another of the firm's customers, or from another brokerage company.
