Every time I try reading about stocks, bonds, and such, I end up with long explanations about the terms, the types of stock, this, that, etc... and it always end up with something in the lines of nobody really knows how the market works and why it moves the way it does...    But I mean, a company can go public, they can register their stock and so on, but where the numbers (the prices) come from? how are they updated? I mean do they have a monkey in front of a computer hitting up or down for the stock prices? it has to come from somewhere doesn't it?? :confused:
