I am wondering what actually changes the stock price. I understand they are affected by supply/demand, events that happen etc. but what actually changes the price. Is it a man in a room that sits there changing the number on the NYSE display, or an algorithm on a computer. If so, who writes the algorithm, and how do they decide how much a certain event impacts the price. For example if a bomb goes off in a company headquarters, and stock price drops $10, how is it decided that that event equates to a $10 dollar loss.
