Some will tell you to hold on to your stock and things will get better. Others will tell you share prices are going down for at least some time, sell it now and buy it when the price goes even more down. This will avoid you a greater loss in short term and will make you lots of money in long term. this is my opinion anyway, hope it makes sense. Most professional traders have strategy.

It is basically speculation the company itself throws a price out there and depending on what people thing is a good price, they will buy and sell accordingly. Facebook is one of these companies that are struggling with this right now. Consider looking at them. The IPO: Initial Projected Offering.

To jack up a stock price, many many investors are needed to buy into the stock for it to go up. It is the classic boiler room, however it is assumed that in a boiler room scandal the seller is marketing worthless shares to people in order to make a profit through Commision or his/her own shares. The buyers and sellers change rapidly. There are also people designated as buyers who work for the government. Great numbers.

In 2008 there was a bubble burst and the stock prices crash. I think your question is: What causes a crash to occur? Here is your answer: Because the world in connected not only through communications but also industry, when for example auto industry stock goes down so does rubber, steel, and leather commodities, if one stock goes down other stocks are affected. As for the fertilizer company, perhaps a bad harvest or a better brand of crop fertilizer was produced that caused the stock price to tank. Also during the crash in 2008, look carefully at the stocks that died and the stocks that lived, industry and other factory type company's stock prices went down and in fact have failed entirely. Now, look at the unemployment rate, and notice what types of people are unemployed. You will notice that it isn't the educated, they are people who work in very service oriented jobs. I hoped that answered your question. Please feel free to ask more, message me on Twitter; @RanjitMarathay T: As you may know, there was a stock market crash in 2008.

When a company does well, people want to buy that stock because they know that a part of that company(a share) will be more valuable. When people start buying it because the company has a good product, the stock price goes up. This is all spectulative meaning that it is what the buyers are willing to buy at and the sellers are willing to sell at. It does actually.

Since all orders are market orders, shouldn't the stock price stay the same? Shouldn't the price of the stock fall only if sellers place a sell below the current market price (and buyers accept)?

I, for instance, have bought shares of companies AFTER they've announced a restructure. I wasn't attempting to hold onto their shares that will eventually go to $0 of course, but there's always a price someone will be willing to buy or sell a share of stock.

However, when the price is in free fall and it's clear that a company is about to go under and people are desperate to sell - where do these shares go? Surely nobody is wanting to buy them yet it still seems possible to sell. That one has confused me for years but i guess there must be an answer?
