Are you ready to learn about stock prices? Let's get started! ๐ŸŽ‰

Stock prices are determined by supply and demand โš–๏ธ

Supply is whatโ€™s available and demand is how much people want ๐Ÿค‘

So, if a lot of people want to buy a stock, the price may go up. ๐Ÿ“ˆ If a lot of people want to sell a stock, the price may go down. ๐Ÿ“‰

Prices change based on how investors think a company will perform ๐Ÿค

When investors buy a stock, they are essentially betting that the company will be successful and the stock price will increase. ๐Ÿ“Š

If they are right, they will make money. ๐Ÿค‘

Good news, like product launches or impressive profits, can drive the stock price up ๐Ÿ†™

Negative news, such as a recall or a decrease in profits, may drive the stock price down ๐Ÿ“ฐ

For example, if Apple releases a new Macbook, the stockโ€™s demand may be high and the price may increase. ๐Ÿค”

But, if Apple announces layoffs or product recalls, people may doubt Appleโ€™s potential and the stock price may decrease. ๐ŸŽ

So, now you know that stock prices are determined by the supply and demand generated by investors, just like yourself ๐Ÿฅณ
