But regardless of what the seller did (paid bills or whatever with his redeemed money) The buyer had to "put money in" if you call it that (which I believe is a misnomer) so there's no change. Money simply doesn't go into or out of the market, with one exception, and that's when new stock is created and sold. Every transaction after that is dead even with a buyer and seller moving money between cash accounts. Nothing "goes into" or "comes out of" the market, and I'm at a loss as to why that myth is perpetuated.
