When you lose money in the stock market does someone else make money? Not necessarily... The stock is just a benchmark for the valuation. Let's say you buy shares in a company (different to forex trading). OK.

Dave decides that he would like to raise some money to say, expand. Dave has 100,000 shares which he values at GBP1 per share. He's prepared to sell half his business so he sells 50,000 shares to Jane. She gives him GBP50,000 for his half. The valuation of the company is based on the income it generates and the assets of the business. When you buy into a company (via shares) and the valuation of the company increases and you sell the shares to someone else. In this scenario you are just passing the profit of the company to someone else. If you buy at a high and its coming back down then theoretically you've bought from someone else but they're out of the market. Do I make money in the stock market from other people losing? Where does money lost in the stock market go?
