if someone else has to buy your stock when you sell it, isn’t stock being bought at the same time as it being sold?
In: Economics
It doesn’t necessarily drop when sold. Stocks are bought and sold all the time while maintaining stable prices. It drops when a lot of people sell at once.
When you have more sellers than buyers, the price gets driven down because if you want your stock sold, you need a lower price than the other guys. It’s the opposite of when there are more buyers than sellers, which drives prices up.
