Hi, I'm 24 year old. I plan on investing from $2,500 to $6,000. and I'm not sure if I want a short term or long term stock, or how often I plan to trade or diversify.
when i put the question some time ago people used to say abt trading account that is buying today morning and selling it bfore evening but i want invest today and wait till it grows i make a note ...
This is due to thousands of trades being made every second. If a lot of people sell a certain business' shares the shares will drop. But if a lot of people buy the business' share the share price will rise.

it is due to the offer price by the seller and bid price by the buyer. The price need to move in tandem to make sure the buyer and seller are happy with the price.
During the bear run, there will be more seller than buyer. The price will move down to meet the buyer price.
During the bull run, there will be more buyer than seller. The seller will offer a higher price due to supply less than demand.
The price is determined by the supply and demand principle.

The price changes because a trade took place at a price dfifferent than the previous trade. Prices are quoted at the last trade.

Because millions of shares are being traded every second.

It's based on what prices they're trading at on average. Since sales occur at such a rapid rate and in such great volume, the averages can move quickly.

stock prices change every second...
you are looking at the last price paid... a commonly traded stock will trade almost every second ... the price fluctuates due to supply and demand...and who is more motivated at the time... the seller will try to get as much as possible and the buyer will pay as little...

Simple, the price of any stock is worth what anyone is willing to pay at the moment. Kinda like an auction. The price goes up and down all day depending on what the perceived value is. There is the opening price, the closing price and all the prices during a day.
