Question: I have a question about the stock market.
I've never understood and always puzzled about something extremely basic and
fundamental about how the stock market works.
According to my understanding, a firm issues a certain number of shares, and the value
of those shares is determined by supply and demand. However, it appears that I, and
anybody else, can purchase or sell any number of shares at the present stock price at
any time. So, what is the mechanism that influences the price of a stock?
If I check at the stock price of business X and find that it is selling for $100 a share, I, like
anyone else, can pick whether to buy one share for $100 or one million shares for $100.
So, what causes the stock price of firm X to rise or fall to $100.01 per share or $99.99 per
share? The stock price does not appear to move up unless all available shares have been
purchased, nor does it appear to move down unless there are persons prepared to sell
shares for less than the market asking…
Passive investors believe that: a. You can't beat the market so you should buy it b. They do not have time to pick stocks c. It is worth it to pay someone else to manage their investments
