Stocks whose market price drops the most during the trading day are described, rather bluntly, as' Loser's. The stocks that lose the most value relative to their opening price are called percentage losers, and stocks that lose the most points are called net losers or dollar losers. The number of losers in a trading day is usually compared to the number of gainers, or stocks that have risen the most in value during the day. If there are more losers than gainers over a period of days, the market as a whole is in a slump.
