<prompt> Human: EDIT - Thanks guys, a lot of people explained that Everything has its price and that there is always someone to buy at the right price, I guess I just cant wrap my head around it. All of this info is great. Thank you again! Hey guys,I have been in the market Fairly successfully, touch wood for a couple years and still cannot under the value of a stock and why.I understand :Each stock is a piece of a companyThat stockss value is based solely on what someone else is willing to sell it for not in fact what the stock is worthWhat I cant understand is how is there someone always buying and selling your stocks? What happens in a crash? Who is buying all of these awful falling stocks? And when a stock like Tesla or Apple on the rise, when big hedge funds or player like Warren Buffet some in and buy Billions of dollars of a stock how is there any left? Is there not a point where you just cannot find that many stocks?I guess maybe its ELI5- the stock market.Thanks !Assistant: If you like sports think of this analogy. Cubs world series game 7, how much would you pay to go 5? Yes. 5,000 Maybe, 50,000 - No. There are finite number of tickets to the game like there are a finite number of shares of stock certificates of a certain company. The price of the ticket matches supply demand almost the exact same way the price of share of stock matches supply demand.Human: Right, This is exactly my question. If Warren Buffet showed up at game 7 and said I want to buy 10,000 seats. I dont think he could!  <response>: Maybe he could if he could offer enough money to persuade people to part with their tickets. Thats how price increases happen.Wrigley Field is a 40,000 people stadium. 10,000 is 25 of seating capacity. Lets say all tickets are equally priced for simplicity.Lets say the Cubs ticket office has 3000 tickets left that he could snap up for 100 each. Now, the Cubs ticket office has no more tickets and Warren has 3000 at 100 ticket...But he could log on to seatgeek and see how many people want to sell tickets. Of course, hed have to pay more for those tickets say an average of 200, he gets another 1000 tickets. So his average cost per ticket for 4000 tickets is 125Now hes on the hunt, so he goes to the season ticket holders to persuade them to sell him tickets... Obviously, these are season ticket holders so hed have to tempt them with a lot more money.He may even let everyone know that he wants tickets and is willing to offer good money for them. Since it is well known that Warren is paying a lot of money for Wrigley Field tickets. People who have tickets worth 500 when they bought them for 50. Some might sell them to Buffet for profit. Others might buy tickets for 500 from someone and hope that Buffet pays 750 for them eventually, and pocket the difference. Buffet does, so now the price of a ticket is 750.Warren has now, say 6000 tickets at an average price of 300 ticket cuz remember he bought some at a high price, some at 100... Each of those tickets is worth 750 on the market cuz Warren paid as much for it so thats the going price for a ticket.People are offering tickets to him at 1000 a pop now .. he could get to 10000 if hes willing to pay 1000 or more per ticket. Some of those folks that are offering him tickets 1000 bought tickets 800 hoping to make a quick buck when WB buys them.But at this point WB says, screw it and tells the world that he is willing to sell the 6000 tickets at 100 a pop. Thats a crash. People who bought 800 tickets are S.O.L.
