Free market, supply and demand. The market decides what the price of a stock is. It's up to you to determine whether that price is too high to too low. If it's too high you stay away from it. If it's too low you buy.

It's all supply and demand and there is always someone on both sides of the trade -- someone selling, someone buying. If more people want to sell than there are people that want to buy, the price goes down. Conversely, when more people want to buy than people that want to sell, the price goes up.

events in the world determine what people will pay for stocks. demand, mergers, closings, management changes.

Supply, demand and the media and events. If the middle east is unsettled ovbiously the price of oil will go up. The market is always skittish even sometimes acting on false information.

people do. if you know why a stock goes up and down then you maybe dont know what is a stock. stock is an ownership in a company. the whole game is having good guesses of what the value of the company is if someone were to buy it or how much is someone willing to pay for the profits the company makes.

I suspect what you really want to know, is how stock reporting services get their price.
You could do some research on something like the NYSE to see how they report stock prices based on trading. It's going to be some determination of average value per share being traded at the current moment. If the exchange is close, price should reflect average trading value when the floor closed.
