If the stock goes down, do I just take the hit? Say I had $1000.00 dollars invested in a stock, which was worth 100 dollars a share, say said stock loses 50 dollars, would I lose $500.00 dollars, or would I see my stock shares increase to 20 shares.

Your shares of stock would remain the same. You would have a “paper” or “unrealized” loss of $500.00.

You would just take the hit and see your investment value tumble to $500.00. And you would also get an extra whack in the head by your mom for your stupid investment decision.

Nothing changes until you sell your shares. The # shares never changes unless you buy/sell or the company splits them.
Your account will say -$500 but you don’t actually lose that money until you sell
