Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Key Takeaways. When a stock tumbles and an investor loses money, the money doesn’t get redistributed to someone else. Essentially, it has disappeared into thin air, reflecting dwindling investor interest and a decline in investor perception of the stock.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sometimes, however, the economy turns or an asset bubble pops-in which case, markets crash. Investors who experience a crash can lose money if they sell their positions, instead of waiting it out for a rise. Those who have purchased stock on margin may be forced to liquidate at a loss due to margin calls.
