Aside from the little bit you paid in commission (which goes to the broker), whatever you lost goes to the people who MADE money in the stock market...the ones who made better investment decisions than you did.\n\nBut, to be more clear, you don't actually lose money until you sell out.  What happens is that your shares lose value. At that point, the whole world has lost money...value is created or destroyed in the market every day.  But that loss or gain is all just 'on paper' until you've cashed out.  When you cash out, you effectively make it more permanent.  When everyone sold out in 1929, that made the big losses permanent.  If they had been able to wait it out, perhaps the losses wouldn't have been so signficant.  Does that help?

Not this one. But the last one I lost a few hundred bucks.

Based on the question you seem to be a pretty honest person, congrats on that one,  about the money you can keep it because there is no way to find out who the true owner is, and if you ask around every body would claim that they were the ones who lost the $20. I wish that you would have found a $20,000 instead of a $20, your honesty deserves it. God bless!

Same here... when I was young, I once turned over all my savings to a beggar because I felt so bad for their con story.  My ear got chewed off after that.  I'm still gullible now but it helps getting the advice of well meaning friends before I fall for anything dubious.

2 years ago at Christmas time, my pal found a wallet at an empty table in a near empty pub, with £500 cash in it.\n\nHe was tempted to keep it, but with it being Christmas.. thinking it could be someones wages, he tracked down the owner from the info in the wallet.\n\nGuy shows up in a new BMW, takes wallet, thanks my pal, then left.  No reward or anything.\n\nOn the otherside though, my Dad lost his wallet in an airport... £1000 cash in it in $ and £.  A group of nuns had found it and were handing it in at the same time my Dad was behind them in lost & found, and ofc he gave them a huge thank you and £ donation.

£1,786,945.23\nMy dad has died and when his estate was sorted out the cash was withdrawn from his account to go into mine i asked for it in cash so i could see what this amount of money looked like previous to that was probably around £5000\nwould rather have my dad than his cash though:(

Nothing is more expensive than regret.  Do tell! You've got everything to lose and nothing to gain if you do not approach!

true story - I actually found several $50's and $20's in the street durring a rain storm and took to police station.. 90 days later I got to keep the money as it was unclaimed... I assume the person lost a lot more becuase the money was going down the street in the rain water river and down to the drain.. there must have been more but I missed it.. it was near 2 banks

If the bank fails, your money is insured and you won't lose it, up to a certain amount, I think $100,000
