[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 2324392, member: 24302"] Have they had an IPO recently? Shares traded on the stock exchange are owned by individuals, mutual funds, etc. That money doesn't go to Amazon. Companies receive money from the selling of shares when they have an Initial Public Offering, usually done when a company is created or when they go from private to public ownership. Companies tend to restrict how many shares are on the open market because too many dilutes their value and makes them vulnerable to hostile takeovers. High stock price reflects the success a company is having, the confidence the public has in it's ability to create profits and pay dividends. Thus the demand for X amount of available shares drives the price up, and lack of demand drives the price down. [/QUOTE]
