Hello everyone,
Thank you for taking the time to read my post.
I'm relatively new to the world of stocks and I'm reluctant to invest much money until I understand the process a little bit more. Apologies if the following questions are laughably basic or obvious.
Say I had $10,000 to invest on a single stock (purely hypothetical, I know it's generally bad practice to do that) and the asking price was $10 a share. How would my investment affect the asking price of the stock? Would it still cost $10 for others or would it increase by a certain amount?
In contrast, say I had 10,000 shares in a stock and I wanted to sell all of them, would they all be sold at exactly the same time at the same price? Or are there scenarios where only a certain amount of sells can be fulfilled until other traders buy your remaining shares?
A real-world example, the UK-based cinema Cineworld recently had an ask price of a few pennies. It then shot up to £7. If I bought $50,000 worth of shares before the price rose and then tried to sell them at £7, is it a guarantee that every single one of my shares would be sold at the same time?
Thank you so much for any helpful replies.
