When you buy shares in a firm, you own a percentage of that company. Or in accounting terms: (assets - liabilities = shareholder equity). The stock price however is based (theoretically) on the previous number, plus the discounted cash flow of future earnings.
I'll spare you the math on discounted cash flows and other value calculations, but most institutional professionals invest based on a common set of formulas that determine where the stock price should be in the future given some basic assumptions of growth, future earnings, economic outlook, etc. So if a company is worth $100 million today and they are expected to increase sales and profit margin, the value of the firm will increase, as well as it's share price. (Typically that outlook is 3-5 years, it's hard to predict longer term). So if the future value is estimated to be near $120 million, then the stock price would rise about 20%.
That is, if all investors were rational.
Most retail investors are not rational, and tend to overvalue a firm. A recent example would be Nintendo, and the rush of inexperienced investors "betting" that the Pokemon Go craze would make the company a fortune. Astute investors read the fine print and knew that Nintendo was only going to see about 30% of the profits. So the stock quickly became overbought by retail investors, and shorted by the pros. The typical cycle looks like this:
Like any market, if there are more buyers than sellers, the price goes up (regardless if the real value of the firm has changed or not.) If the current stock price is $50 and no one is willing to sell their shares for $50, then they may bid higher. Conversely, if someone wants to sell their shares and no one is buying, they will have to either lower their price or hold the shares until prices recover. Any time there are more sellers than buyers, the price will fall.
Professional investors make their money by calculating the real value of a stock (this is not an exact science) and buying it below that value, and selling it when it hits a threshold above that value. In the short term, stock prices are based on often irrational expectations. Sooner or later, they return to their actual value.
Another example is Tesla - its market cap (share price x number of shares) is over $30 billion. (In comparison, Ford and GM are each worth about $50 billion) Today's stock price is around $230 per share, but Tesla's actual book value is around $7.25 a share, or about $1 billion. The difference between those two numbers is the expectation of future earnings (that Tesla will be the next big thing). However, the + $200 a share difference (multiplied by 148 million shares) means that they need to sell a lot of cars. The professionals think that the stock is way overvalued, and as a result over half the shares of Tesla are currently being sold short (betting the price will fall dramatically.)
Dividends are typical paid by large, stable, mature companies that generate lots of cash. Growing companies reinvest their cash into the business in order to keep growing. Instead of offering a dividend with a yield of 2-4%, your "earnings" will be based on the gains in share price as the firm increases in value. It's easier for 1 billion dollar company to become a 2 billion dollar company, than for a 100 billion dollar company to double in size. So the behemoths reinvest a smaller overall percentage back into the business, and distribute the rest to shareholders.
Hope this was helpful.

It is good article, price movement is sometimes determined by demand & supply relationship. I always thinking trading in shares just like investment in property.

However, what is the meaning of price in property market? It's the value of property that you are hoping to buy for owning it or sell for cashing out.

How about sundry goods in a shop? You buy & pay for it because you need to use it later.

After all, it's the value of goods that determine the price, not the price that decide what should be the value of goods.

For stock market, if you think it as a business & do your own due diligence, then you will know how much you need to pay for owning it. It's the value of the business & future prospect that decide the price BUT not the price that determine the value of the company.

Price is temporaily in stock market, but you are judged y looking at the price if you are winner or loser later.

Knowing the value & pay as low as possible, sell it when people willing to pay high for it, then you will be the winner

the only value investors are those portfolio managers making 5% or less p.a.

what makes a share go up and down is hardly ever value........................

it is always the X factor that makes a share go up or down.

lets say....a company announces increase profits from 10 sen to 20 sen. ...the share goes up from $ 1 to $ 2.

value investing my foot.

the price has doubled but still the same old company making slightly more money with no assurance any thing is repeatable.

Another case of know nothing, talking b***shit again.
Please go find out what is the return of Berkshire Hathaway, OakTree Capital, Value Partners, Scion Capital before you open your big mouth.

Dynamic Investing, which fund practices that? What return did they have? Provide with numbers and facts.
You don't even have an investing record for your own investing returns.

Different methods for different type of market players. Value investors go for DCF, ratio analysis, etc...Technical go for charts and indicators. As long as you able to earn a good return by applying the method(s) you are comfortable with, then it's a good strategy.

Being one of the value investors, I would say we have our own ways of looking at the market and it's definitely different from other schools, so why should we pay that much attention to the noise?

IMHO, just stop giving limelight to attention seeker, especially a tin-kosong one. Keep responding to those ambiguous statements are just a waste of time and life.

Malaysian stock market is mostly ruled by emotions. Want to get rich in the quickest time and do not exercise patience. I am one of them but learning to change gradually. Speculators and syndicates capitalize on this emotional behavior and almost all the time the losers are ones running from one counter to another when uptrend is detected. Typical herd behavior. However, a few sometimes make big money from this but in the end will also lose everything unless he can manage his wealth soundly.

I don't see any difference between DCF, trend indicators and your suggestion - phone call to CEO. They are all forecasting and hence an estimation.

When you do DCF, you estimate the intrinsic value of a company based on its past financial performance;
When you draw support/resistance/zone/band, you estimate its TP and when to cut loss based on its past share price performance;
And when you ring the CEO, you ESTIMATE the company growth/future prospect based on the information provided by the CEO.

If audited financial report and/or market share price could not give you any sense of confidence, why would a conversation with CEO could when he/she has no say on the industry future?

Companies that consistently distributes good and increased dividend Q-by-Q and/or Y-by-Y will makes it price goes up.
Consistent good and increased dividend reflects all other factors or parameters - good management, efficient, business strategies, creative, innovative, valuing shareholders....

I guess with a record like Soweto, you can call your self a true value investor. Can a value investor go far in the long run? 10% per annum perhaps,
Value investor using all the tricks in investment books and CFA courses? Can they beat the Index? In the long run, not likely.
