10. WHAT DETERMINES STOCK PRICE MOVEMENT?
Stock prices change everyday by market forces. By this we mean that share prices change because of
supply and demand. If more people want to buy a stock (demand) than sell it (supply), then the price
moves up. Conversely, if more people wanted to sell a stock than buy it, there would be greater supply
than demand, and the price would fall and vice-versa.

18. WHO LOSES MONEY IF SOMEONE BOOKS PROFIT?
To understand this with an example, one has a bottle full of water which is being sold in the middle of
desert. Now you can imagine the scarcity of water in such place and when the demand is high and supply
is low. So the cost of product will be higher than usual but the cost of same bottle when sold in urban
area where there are so many water sources and too many competitor the cost of same bottle fells down.
This happens in stock market too where the price of share can vary from various such circumstances.

This guy by the name of Ravi called up a show on Zee Business to get some advice on some
shares. He shared that in 1990 his grandfather brought shares worth ₹20,000 of MRF and right
after buying it he went into a coma due to an unfortunate accident. Then he mentioned that his
grandfather is now doing better and has gifted the shares certificate to him. After proper
discussion, the show's anchor figured out that each of those shares is now valued at ₹64,900
and the value of the total shares is over 130 crore! It is like finding a hidden treasure.
