Q: My question concerns the degree of volatility in a stock market. It is my perception the individual investor has virtually no influence on a stock price. They are simply too small of a player, even in grand total. The market is really controlled by pension funds, hedge funds, mutual funds etc. These are the people who should act rationally. When you see a market go crazy on the down side like this past Monday there had to be a lot of sellers willing to sell at a much lower price than the week before. I ask, who are the sellers? The retail investor wouldn't affect the market and the big players would know better. Please educate me.
Many Thanks
