Where does the money go when the stock market loses value?

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.
