Lost value is just lost value, it's not movement of money. Today someone is willing to pay $500 for one of your rare tulip bulbs, tomorrow you can only sell them for $10. The value of your market cap dropped, but no money changed hands outside of the individual purchases.

At least for today, Dec 24, most folks are just leaving their money right where it is The NASDAQ only traded 1,724,366,735 shares today, which is quite low. Last Friday 7,609,010,000 shares traded hands. The fact that the price or the market cap changed by a lot doesn't necessarily mean that a lot of money is moving around right now, though they may certainly change in the near future.

There is no money, and it doesn’t go anywhere. A company’s market cap is just the market’s opinion of what it’s worth. That opinion changes all the time, but no actual money is involved. Money only comes into it when shares (or derivatives) are actually bought and sold.

If your house is worth $300k and the real estate market collapses and your house is now worth $250k, where did $50k of cash go to? It didn't go anywhere because there was no $50k of cash involved. The market value of your simply changed (dropped $50k). Stocks are the same. Last week Facebook was trading at $145. Today it's $125. Its market value changed. Anyone who sold it during that period received money. Even if they took that money out of the market and put it in a bank, the buyer put the money back into the market. The market doesn't create money.

This is a bear market not a crash. For the latter, see 1929 or 1987. People put their money anywhere they want: Cash or MM account, banks, bonds, bond ETFs, Treasuries, preferred stocks, mattresses (?).

The price of U.S. Treasury securities are up in the past month. Gold is up and the Yen is up. The Swiss Franc is not completely at a one month high.
There have been ETF inflows into a Treasury fund that has a duration of about 1.9 years. But it appears that an investor could outperform the income of that fund with a three-month bill in their own Treasury Direct account. However, there is gain in the securities price of the longer term duration.
There have also been ETF inflows into emerging-markets but ETF outflows out of high-yield debt. So I don't agree with the inflows into emerging-markets.
Even six-month non-government bond funds are down in the past month.
But investors that outperform the market over long term periods basically buy what is down as long as there is no bad news specific to the stock or bond being bought.

The price of U.S. Treasury securities are up in the past month. Gold is up and the Yen is up. The Swiss Franc is not completely at a one month high.
There have been ETF inflows into a Treasury fund that has a duration of about 1.9 years. But it appears that an investor could outperform the income of that fund with a three-month bill in their own Treasury Direct account. However, there is gain in the securities price of the longer term duration.
There have also been ETF inflows into emerging-markets but ETF outflows out of high-yield debt. So I don't agree with the inflows into emerging-markets.
Even six-month non-government bond funds are down in the past month.
But investors that outperform the market over long term periods basically buy what is down as long as there is no bad news specific to the stock or bond being bought.

I'm sorry, I mean that when market loses market cap it goes somewhere. So by 'money' I mean the difference in market cap in S&P 500 between it's top and after it's crash, correct me if this doesn't make any sense.

Lost value is just lost value, it's not movement of money. Today someone is willing to pay $500 for one of your rare tulip bulbs, tomorrow you can only sell them for $10. The value of your market cap dropped, but no money changed hands outside of the individual purchases.

Yeah, my question is incorrect, I see it now, so instead i should ask where do people invest after stock market crash, aren't I ?

At least for today, Dec 24, most folks are just leaving their money right where it is The NASDAQ only traded 1,724,366,735 shares today, which is quite low. Last Friday 7,609,010,000 shares traded hands. The fact that the price or the market cap changed by a lot doesn't necessarily mean that a lot of money is moving around right now, though they may certainly change in the near future.
