Stock market operations?

Hi all you smart brains,

Please provide answers to following with example

1) I read (and heard) that share prices are governed by 'demand and supply', this means if the number of buyers are more the price will go up and vice versa Now my question is that when there is a situation that demand does not meet supply, who decides to increase /decrease the share price and by how much.

2)If suppose I have a some n shares of ABC inc, if I want to sell at $x , What is the condition that $x (my price) actually becomes the share price.In other words out of thousands of people bidding and requesting for share price, whose price ultimately get on bulletin board.

3) If I want to sell my shares worth $ 100 at a price of $40 or for $150, is it possible .I mean can i override the market price of share and start selling on my own?And suppose I succeed in such transaction , is it going to affect the current price of the share.

Many thanks

Best Regards

Kashif

    no. you can/t sell your stock higher than the market price.. however you can sell it closer to the market price through a BROKER or middle man..

    ----if the demmand does meet the suppy, then the low performance of the company it is, however, there are like REORGANIZATION we called, where in a company go to attract investors.. an example is a REVERSE STOCK SPLIT.

    REVERSE STOCK SPLIT- it will lower the number of shares that a holder currently have, however that would increase the value of the stocks, TO ATTRACT BIG INVESTORS, and in a counter part ELIMINATES small time investor.

    or there's"

    FORWARD STOCK SPLIT, w/c will increase the number of shares and lowers the value to attract small time investors..

    ===NOTE! based on the NYSE new york stock exchange, if the value of the stock decreases below 0.50cents per share, they will be delisted on the stock market.

    I 2nd that opinion. OTC and the announcements are not "the industry" they seem to be a cesspool of rip-off artists and backside feeders. the only rule that applies is "shopper do no longer purchase there." For significant markets: Noise regulations the final inventory industry -- rumors and rumors of rumors. On any particular day at any particular 2nd in any particular commerce, who knows what is going. Why? and all the different questions are a crap shoot. in spite of the shown fact that, if a commerce occurs at that 2nd, this is by using the fact a shopper and a broker agreed on a value and plenty (style of shares). quantity regulations the industry. He who has the quantity (and can tension it) controls the industry. talking in generalities. industry makers seem for quantity which determines "who" is controlling the fee 2nd. Ask and bid are matched in declining quantity order. (A 1000k ask is going to be matched to 100k bids first then 10k bids then 1k...etc) with out quantity, in an up tick industry, the bid controls fee circulate; down tick industry, ask.
