If everyone sells then the market will go down as it does now. It doesn't make much difference if that happens via a fund holding or not.

You can't sell without having someone buying.

Hence why the price goes down until someone does.

Yeah it was slightly loose speech. When most people put in sell orders the price drops till someone steps in to buy, if only the market maker, so the number of shares sold and bought match.
