Most people want a stock price to rise. There are traders who short-sell stocks and they're hoping for the price to fall.

Making money on price movements is relative. If you own the stock and the price falls, you only have an unrealized loss because you have not yet sold it. If you have sold the stock short, then, you want the price to go down because you borrowed the stock at the higher price and sold it. Now, you will buy it back to cover your position at the lower price.

It depends on your position. If you want to buy this stock great, when it falls the price is lower than it was before. If you own it then it means that if you sell it you lose money but if you hang on to it long enough and the company grows it will be worth more a few years down the line.

stocks will always rise and fall. if a certain stock falls 2 percent tomorrow it's not all that meaningful...what's important is the long-term.

It's bad if you already own it or want to sell it, good if you are buying (you can get shares at a cheaper price).
