willd58 posted:Can someone explain to me, say I purchase 100 shares of Toyota stock, if I want to sell it in 6 months time, what if there is no one to buy it from me? I am guessing this is not how it works and im an idiot, but who/what is it who then buys it all back when I want to make my profit? There's usually going to be someone to buy it at some price. The price of the stock is basically the highest price that someone is willing to pay for a stock and the lowest price that someone is willing to take for it. If no one is willing to buy it at all for any price then the effective stock price is $0 and you're hosed. if you buy Toyota today at $70 or whatever, and it goes up to $100 a year from now, that means that people are willing to pay $100 a share. If people weren't willing to pay $100 a share, then the price of a share wouldn't be $100.

ANGRY_KOREA_MAN posted:Thanks for the input. I did not expect to do anything with this money but squander it, being 21 gives me some time to learn too I think. First stock I ever bought was Apple and its up 350% since then so try picking a winner when you start instead of wasting your money on this poo poo. If you bought it already, sell it and buy something else.

MrBigglesworth posted:Holy poo poo NFLX. Hits it out of the park again. Stock was up over $16 before hours, now up $19.03. Wow. I thought I made a good pick buying Apple in 2006 but Netflix is up about 500% since then compared to Apple's 400%. And most of Netflix's growth has been in the last year or two.
