They’re not. You’re mixing up the market as a whole and the owners of a majority of shares.
The ask price is the lowest ask. If you buy a lot of something, you reach further into the order book and the price is going to be higher. If you want a 51% stake, then a lot higher.
- Breza 5y agoI have a dumb question. Most of my money is in index funds. Would there ever be a price where my shares would be sold?
- blaser-waffle 5y agoDepends on the index fund and the rules / guidance they follow to balance. Many of them are passive, and only adjust once a quarter or once a year. Additionally, big spikes by one stock match drops in other stocks, aka they're not likely to make a big sale because one stock (twitter) had a good day.
