Your base primes is correct. The stock market is a marketplace, with buyers and sellers, supply and demand. But, your statement of fact is much to simplified for a stock's market.

Your post:

INH so as it said at the Hogwarts school of Finance, if there are more sellers than buyers the price goes down and if there are more buyers than sellers the price goes up. I love it.

More or fewer buyers than sellers is part of the equation. But, the size and activity of buying and selling, the amount of supply or demand, the timing and distribution of supply and demand are some of additional factors at play. Also, the marketplace can be affected by dilution or the reverse (share buy backs). Lock out periods can limit supply. When lockouts end, supply can increase.

The quoted price is the price of the last share traded. A buyer and a seller agreeing to transfer a share at a given price. Could be one big buyer and lots of sellers, or vice versa. Price could spike on illiquidity. Opportunities, risks, timing, technical analysis, fundamental analysis.

Hogwarts??? Nah.

Schools of Finance. Yeah.
