So in theory, this is WHY someone would buy shares of a company. Now, upon reading up more, I found out that dividend isn't even THAT important to companies or investors anymore. So here is my question: a company goes public, why does anyone even buy its shares then? Like people buying shares only translates into more money for them if more people are willing to buy that share. But unless at some point the shareholder gets money from the company, would he only be buying a share only assuming more people would want to buy it in the future?
I also read that the value of a share depends on its value perceived by the people (shareholders). So theoretically, if all shareholders of x company stop trading it's shares, will its value ever fall or rise? If yes, then how.
I'm sorry if this is a stupid or naive question. Thanks
