# Stocks ## How stocks work Stocks are a global market. Prices change over time based on supply, demand, and the economy around them. ## Supply and demand When many players buy the same stock, the price can rise. When many players sell, the price can fall. ## Fair value and price caps Each company has a fair value range and price limits. That keeps the market readable and prevents absurd swings. ## Max supply per company Every company has a maximum supply. Once supply gets tight, price pressure can increase. ## Job influence Some jobs can influence related companies. For example, a job connected to technology may interact with tech stocks more naturally than unrelated jobs. ## Portfolio and average buy price Your portfolio tracks what you own and what you paid. Average buy price helps you see whether you are in profit or loss. ## Profit and loss If you sell above your average buy price, you profit. If you sell below it, you take a loss. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
