Arthur | Who determines the price of a stock? |
As we know the price of the stock changes every minute, so who and how determines what the price is going to be. Another words why do prices go up and down through out a day? |

let me answer your question as simple as possible:
BUYERS======stock price======SELLERs
more buyers ====stock up=====less sellers(traders)
less buyers======stock down===more sellers(traders)
another good example right now, almost everyone want to drive a hybrid car, so honda or toyota can get the best price for that car, and the car sell faster
in opposite, tahoe or yukon, they sit on the car lot longer and it needs a lot of incentive to lure the buyer.
Understand yet?

It's called supply and demand. If there are too many buyers, they bid up the price. If there are too many sellers, they have to lower their prices to find a buyer. In the stock market there are so many buyers and sellers at any given moment that prices change constantly. In other words, if the price goes up a little bit, people notice and start selling. If it goes down, buyers start appearing. |

prices go up and down bc of the buying and selling of stocks.
for example: if a stock holder sold his stocks the "price" or value would go down because its more common. when someone buys the stock the price goes up, bc the stock is now more rare. people make money off of their investments by buying low and selling high. |

It is simply determined by what people are willing to pay for it. |

In short if more people want to buy the stock than want to sell, the price goes up. If more people want to sell than buy the price goes down. Over long time frames, the value of the company is the major factor. For short time frames, peoples expectations rule. |

It changes when the president of the country sneezes or if he falls from the chair, or if a war erupted from somewhere, it is determined by what is transpiring in your local vicinity if the stocks you are trading is within the area or if it is traded globally a sudden surge in the market may trigger an upward or downward trend, bottom line if the money is being hurt or tickled stocks will move, either to your liking or otherwise...............or in the case of ENRO.........you know what I'm trying to say lol. |

You do. More specifically, buyers and sellers. It's all about supply and demand. |

The market. The price is set by the amount people are willing to pay. If they offer at price x and no takers, the price goes down until they will buy. Similiarly when there is high demand, the price will be bid up (like at an auction). |

The buyers, who reach an agreement with the sellers. |
