Experience
I retired in 1996 at the old age of 39 by using city based utilities and leap call options. on stocks like ibm and wal mart because you can control these stocks for 2 years for ten cents on the dollar.
As of 1998 I got married and went to work driving Big Rig in 2004 so I could provide my 2 daughters,who are 4 and 8 as of 2007, with QUALITY AFFORDABLE health insurance. THIS job still allows me to trade but will cause you a slightly longer wait for any answer.. I apologize for This but my families welfare comes first..

General Stock Investment Strategies - Stock price


Expert: tbaarr - 11/17/2008

Question
Hello,
Could you please tell me your thoughts on how price is determined for any stock in a given market. Also, where can I get more information about how market pricing occurs and how it is set on the exchange.
Thank You

Answer
A stock price is determined by the strength  of the company and the belief of the specialist in how much he can charge


then the basic rule of suppy and demand takes over

ie

when martha steward went public and the stock price went from around 20  or 30 before the offering day

due to interest in owning the stock shares

and it got up to 40 on the day it was first offered

good luck
