kreacher92 | How is stock price determined? |
and don't tell me "the market" or "public perception". since it is calculated every 10 sec., clearly there is a quantitative reason. there is no way you could do a survey on the "public perception" of a company this often. it seems to me it must have something to do w/buying and selling of shares. the only thing i can think of is that if people are buying shares of a stock the price goes up and if they sell it goes down. however, that doesn't really work, because if someone is buying someone had to sell those shares in order to be buyable and vice versa. so what EXACTLY determines whether stock price goes up or down (or stays stagnant for that matter)
Additional Details
great answers so far, thanks |

It is the market and public perception. Stock prices are not "calculated" every 10 seconds, they are reported. Learn the difference. There is way to survey public perception "this often" and it's called a stock market.
The idea behind saying Buying and Selling helps to determine the price is that, if there are more buyers than sellers, then the sellers know this and will only sell their stocks for higher prices, causing the stock price to go up (and vice versa). |

Back to Econ 101: Supply and Demand
If you want to sell, and you see that the last price was 10, but you really need to sell, you will probably make it 9.99, and then the next guy who needs to sell more will make his "lowest acceptable" price 9.98, and then someone who is facing foreclosure will sell his holdings to pay the mortgage, and he will see you guys selling, but to sell first, he will drop his to 9.5....then I will buy his shares at a fire sale, and the price will temporarily drop to 9.5....but then I will try and make a profit, and will offer mine for sale at 9.8, and someone will buy them....keep you guys still holding the bag, having not sold any of your shares....We just changed the price from 10 to 9.5 to 9.8 in 2 minutes....that is how it's done.... |

Supply and demand.
(That's really the answer, though you seem to not want to hear it)........................................
Think of someone buying a house or a car. If there aren't enough buyers... a seller may have to lower their price in order to sell the item today.
Buyers "bid" to pay a certain amount.
Sellers "ask" to sell a certain amount.
To make the transaction happen..... there must be a price they agree on..... then multiply by billions a day.
So;
If there are 10,000 shares of Motorola for sale.
I bid $14.00 per share.
You ask $14.66
Maybe we agree on $14.31
If we don't agree.... there's no sale. |

more buyers and the price goes up..less and the price goes down till more buyers are found..............each price has buyers and sellers.....................
there are many other factors..............you need to read a few books.........sec analysis.tech analysis,,,,,,,,,,, |

If you are willing to accept what I am willing to pay, we have just determined the stock price.
If the company has good news, that will rise. If the news is bad, it falls. |

On the trading floor of an exchange it is determined whenever two traders decide to transact a stock. Then that price gets reported and entered into the computer.
On the electronic boards, same thing. Whenever two parties agree to transact a stock.
In quiet markets you can see this for yourself. For example, sometimes in commodities late at night, you can set the price yourself. Simply buy a contract from someone who's offering to sell it at a price you want. If there's not much action going on, you'll see your price show up as the "last transaction price" for that commodity. |

The price of stock is based on buy and selling. The last price that the stock was bought at is the current market price. Every time a transaction takes place the price usually changes. |

everything you told me not to say detemines the price, yes fear make oil go up, just like scarcity.
the price of a share is determined by people buying and selling you ever see the people on the floor they have buy and sell orders if there are more buyers price moves up |
