Man F | How is is possible for the stock market to fall? |
If you can only sell when there is a buyer then how can the market fall? If I had 10 shares and you wanted 5, I sell 5 now i only have 5 but you now have 5 so the market still has 10...right? |

the market does not necessarily rise or fall based on number of shares, but current sale price of shares.
for example, if i buy a case of pepsi and try to sell it by the can on a street corner, i might get 50 cents each, but if i sell them at a football game, i could get a dollar. it does not really matter how many cans i have, but the situation that i am in.
the same is true right now in the market. people are buying and selling based on how much they believe the product is worth. you have seen it fall because most poeple do not think the stocks are worth what they used to be. "the market" is just the price of everyone buying and selling a certain stock. |

If you can't find a buyer than you have to lower you selling price and eventually someone will buy at the lower price so the number of shares remain the same but the value of all the shares have fallen so then they say the stock market has fallen. |

Well, let's look at it this way. You have 10 shares which you purchased a while back. Given stock market conditions the price of this share hasn't gone up so you decide to sell 5 shares; which the buyer (an investor just like yourself) buys. The prices move up by 8% thereafter. You sell the remaining shares and so does the earlier buyer.
However, when you have millions of investors doing the same thing; then the price of the share would move down due to the excess supply of the share under study. Conversely, when supply dries up or demand increases for a share its price would move up.
In today's environment in the stock markets, it would seem that everyone wants to sell. This is causing an excess supply of shares in the stock market. Realizing this the buyer is waiting a while longer before buying to lock in better (or lower) prices for his purchase.
Sincerely,
Akash

It's the ratio of buyers and sellers. There are a number of sidelined people waiting to buy and sell. Most trades are done through computer programs that generally mimic each other (group think) on when to buy and sell. When stocks go up, there are more buyers than sellers. When stocks go down, there are more sellers than buyers.
Three things happen on the down side. Somebody on the sideline steps in and becomes a buyer. Somebody convinces the exchange to stop trading on the stock such as complaining about a false news story or a false rumor (such as a company going bankrupt when it's not or a lawsuit that doesn't exist, or the death of a CEO that never happened) or a trend of illegal stock manipulation. The stock drops to zero and the company becomes worthless. |

The price of a stock is actually two things: what people are bidding to get a share, and what people are asking in return for a share. For example: I have a share of ABC Corp. I paid $10 for it a month ago, but now I'm not so sure about the prospects for growth, so I'm going to sell. I ask for $10, but the highest bid in the market is $9. A transaction won't take place until I lower my ask or someone else raises their bid. This is why you often see prices quoted as a 'bid-ask spread'. If the two are very far apart, the stock is not currently trading very much, meaning that it is illiquid. |

It will fall if you have shares you want to sell at $10 per share and the highest bid is $ 5.00. If you accept that bid and sell, the stock price is now $5.00. If I bid $ 4.00 and the next person who wants to sell cannot find anyone bidding more than I did, then it would drop to $ 4.00.
The same number of shares are there, but the market value has gone to $ 4.00 per share. |

The number of shares does not change only the value. It the market is falling and you originally paid $10 a share, the new buyer may only be willing to pay you $7 a share. Therefore you loose and the market "value" goes down, not the number of shares. |

You dumb dumb. If you sell 5, someone is buying 5. They are buying it for what they think that it's worth. Stock prices drop when people only want to sell and don't want to buy. Have you heard of supply and demand? When people sell their stock, it devalues the price of the stock, which makes other people want to sell, which devalues it more, yes they are selling it to someone else, but at lower and lower prices.
P.S. I'll give you 10 cents for your house |
