Risk or fear of loss is what stops buyers from buying a stock.
Each company has so many outstanding shares that can be traded called "the float."
During the late 1990's it seemed that everyone was bidding up .com companies with thin floats and fundamentals did not matter. It was called the "new paradigm."
We'll, history has shown that stocks tend to go back to the mean, and then some, as "everyone" sold the .com's creating the other (down) side of the triangle. |

The answer is supply and demand.
A company is only as valuable as its stream of profits, if more people bid on a share, then from supply and demand this tells us that the price of a share must rise, eventually there becomes a tradeoff/equilibrium where above a certain price, the price of the stock is no longer worth it.
in reality it is more complicated because a company's future profit is unknown, hence different people have different guesses, and that's why some people are willing to pay more per stock, however the same rule apply, eventually when the price goes above a certain threshold it becomes unprofitable to buy |

There are only a limited number of shares available
Once all shares have been bought, future prospectors can only buy some when some one sells theirs. |

They would go up in value, until some investors thought they were overvalued. Exactly the same as happened in the markets. Or read about the Dutch Tulip bulb bubble, that will give you a clue as to how markets work. |

Like the old song, you say to-may-to and I say to-mah-to.
There are thousands of publicly traded companies, and millions of investors -- and everybody has an opinion.
And guess what? They're all different.
For example, I won't invest in Google because it doesn't pay dividends.
Most people believe they can outsmart the rest of the market, and look for stocks that are cheap because few other investors are as smart as they are, and so demand is low.
This is an illusion, but millions fall for it.
Plus, investors have different standards. You like high tech. Some people look for a certain P/E ratio. Others for a certain ROI on capital. Many sophisticated investors look for stocks that many such criteria, or "screens."
Life is complicated. So are investors. So are the financial markets. There're a gazillions different variables and possible interactions.

The number of shares has a limit.
And the number can be increased by issuing more and somtimes by spliitting which reduces the price while increasing the number of shares.
Do not buy stock unless you evaluate the company first. |

If too many people buy stock in one company, the price of that company will go way up. That will cause some of the people to sell and take their profit. Then the price will come back down. When there are more people buying than wanting to sell, the price goes up. When there are more people selling than buying, the price goes down. |
