when government subsudizes a certain sector, that reduces the cost of production of the good. that leads to increase in world supply and price eventually falls, assuming demand does not change.

Two principles that apply to every market are the supply and demand pricing dynamics and the product life cycle pricing dynamics.\n\nA project to demonstrate these principles that would be elegant is to choose two different markets and model the pricing in the market according to supply and demand and over time with respect to the product life cycle.\n\nMuch like a scientist investigating genetic eveolution, choose markets with relatively short product life cycles so that the time element is easily observed.\n\nFor example, the Apple ipod is a product that revolutionized the music industry by making downloading legal and cache.  The devices progressed from the first ipod, to the ipod mini to the ipod nano.  The backbone of the offering is iTunes, which changed the way we buy and listen to music.  Look at the pricing curves over time for the ipod models by looking at press releases and industry coverage of the ipod revolution.  You will see that the pressures of supply and demand drove the ipod pricing, while the product lifecycle drove the introduction of new models to keep the public buying and maintaining image and pricing.\n\nNext, look at the video game platform market.  In this market the product life cycle is very influential since new technology provides a more interesting user experience as the new models appear about every two years (product lifecycle).  The pricing of the platforms is below cost to attract gamers to buy the platform since the profit is derived from the game sales and royalties.\n\nTo go to a completely different market, look at hybrid cars.  The price of oil and fear of spiking oil prices, along with government incentives in tax credits and car-pool lane priviledges, drove demand of the flagship Toyota Prius into the stratosphere.  The cars are still difficult to find since the dealers are backlogged with orders from eager customers.  A bit of clever marketing and timing with the pressure on oil prices and the Global Warming crisis have continued to spur sales.  The more interesting story may be the Honda Civic hybrid that offers many of the same features as the prius, but hasn't enjoyed the attention from the press.  Look at the difference in the pricing as a result of the significant difference in demand.\n\nThat's a few ideas.  There are many more.  \n\nGood luck.\n\nj

demand.\n\nok, the price that can be set for a product and the amont of profit that can be made is automatically set by the relationship between how many people want it and how much there is of the product. if demand is high and the suply is low the price will rise and if demand is low and the suply is high the price will fall. stablity is achived when the two are balanced.

Consumer Products prcies go up due to rise in inflation. Inflation is due to imbalance in demand and supply of factors of productions. Then the factors of production are insufficient to satisfy the demand then the prices starts rising as the functional result of demand law. High demand low supply rises the price. \n\nOn increase in prices all the consumer products are prices high to cover the cost of factor of production.

Nobody knows which direction the market will move in the short term.  Indicators that have any value will immediately move the market, since market prices are based on expectations of the future.

Mainly the global market.  With countries like India and China consuming tons of oil and gas, it has raised global demand and prices.  The instability of the supply from certain countries has contributed to a fear of future supply also.\n\nThere's a full article here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5365439

Demands that are elastic change greatly with prices. This can vary by product, by target market, by location, by virtually anything.\n\nFor instance, the demand for Coca Cola can be inelastic or elastic, depending on whose demand they are measuring and where. People also speak about general inelastic or elastic demand, but normally, a marketer has to get down to the nitty gritty and define what they want to determine.\n\nGenerally, demand becomes more elastic as more options are available. Generally, items that have no real replacement (gasoline, to most people) have fairly inelastic demands.\n\nMany luxury items actually have mostly inelastic demands, contrary to popular belief. You have to drop the price of a luxury car a lot to really change demand. Also, it usually hurts profits more than it helps. (Note: when a demand is hurt or dimished by drops in price, it still makes it elastic, however.)\n\nDifferent consumers can respond differently. For example: some consumers will buy Coke, even when Pepsi is on sale, and some consumers don't care. They buy whichever brand is cheaper. \n\nStrong branding usually helps make demand more inelastic. (Some people will pay $500 for a Gucci sweater, because of the brand.) Product differentiation also makes demand more inelastic. (That's one reason why Mac can sell it's laptops for thousands of dollars, when the average PC laptop will run you around $500.)\n\nDemands are never fully elastic or inelastic. Rather, they are always "relatively" inelastic or elastic.

Supply and demand. Since the demand is down, the prices have fallen recently.

Yes, because a small change in price will affect demand more.  If a product is inelastic, then the firm can charge just about anything and the demand will stay the same.

because demand increases (you go left on the graph) as the price drops (go down on   [excuse me here, but it won't let me say g0 d0wn 0n ] the graph)\nOR, Price high, demand low, (Top left hand corner),  Price low, demand high (bottom right hand corner)\n\nFor supply:\nAs the supply increases (go up on the graph), the amount people are prepared to pay goes down (go left on the graph)\nOR,\nPrice high, supply high (top right)\nPRice low, supply low (bottom left)

This  is what makes the market:  Supply verses Demand.\nNo matter how bad a company is, if the demand to purchase that company goes up, then the price of that stock goes up.  \n.

It theoretically COULD happen again (anything is possible) but since the Great Depression of the 1930s, there have been a lot of controls placed on the stock market to prevent that kind of thing from happening again.  For example, if the stock market drops too many points in a certain amount of time, trading is called off for a few hrs to let things settle.  Once trading starts again and it continues to drop a certain amount then trading is called off for the rest of the day.  There are other controls in place as well- not just that one.

Share prices rise when there is an increased demand for the shares.  That is people are willing to pay more money for them. If a comany reports that their earnings have increased more than was expected, that generally increases the demand for the shares and prices rise.  \n\nSometimes the price movement is due to technical factors.  If the price of a stock has fallen a significant amount, people might think it is now a bargain and begin wanting to buy it, driving the price higher, even though there is no other apparent reason for the price increase. The opposit is also true.  \n\nThe best way to consistantly make money, is to buy stocks with solid fundamental value that are not overpriced and then to hold on to them and not sell them after the price has risen a few points and not to panic and sell them if the price drops a few points. \n\n The markets tend to run in cycles. And many people tend to buy stocks at the top of the cycle when they are expensive and then to panic and sell them at the bottom of the cycle when they are cheap.  Others tend to buy speculative stocks hoping to make a fast buck, but usually wind up loosing a buck real fast.
