Dumbest Question of them all...Explain the stock market to me.

If I invest $1000 in Ebay and give it to my broker, and Ebay tanks and is worth $500, where did the $500 I lost go? Who gets that money I gave to my broker?

I know this is stupid, but I don't own any stocks and I don't know how exactly it works.

It goes to the person who sold his stocks for $1000. - jason bourne 2008-10-11 12:33:57 (46 views)
