On Monday, the stock market fell
sharply that the S&P 500 index fell by 1.97\% and Nasdaq index
fell by 2.78%. Apple's shares are traded below $200 per share because
Apple's suppliers provided weak outlooks, which let investors believe Apple has
reached its peak. Since Apple was the first company to reach one trillion
dollar market value, Apple's share price affected the entire stock market,
especially the technology companies' share prices. However, is there any
actually event that negatively affects the outputs of the industries? The
answer is 'no, maybe there is one coming'.
The stock market is built on
expectation instead of actual outcomes. Actual outcomes may be important, but
if the expectation about the future is perfect enough, investors will choose to
ignore the awful output at the moment. Moreover, even if the actual output is
brilliant, if the expectation falls, investors' confidence will still be
damaged and the stock performance will not improve at all. Overall, actual
outcomes at the moment is important because it is a factor that helps investors
to make their expectations. Then any factor is important as long as it is
relevant to investors' expectations.
Share price is not stable as investors
hold different opinions and expectations. If investors were able to be
consistent with their expectations, the market will be stable affect the
adjustment. However, investors are not consistent, their expectations and
opinions are influenced by the market price. Since investors are always
changing their expectations and different people hold different opinions, there
will not be a stable market price.
