I’ve never heard of someone not being able to purchase a stock, or having to wait for them to become available?



because in the real world, most stocks have enough trading volume to allow anyone that is interested to be able to purchase what they want.

In your example, there is no trading volume because all the outstanding shares are owned and no one is willing to sell.

So, I a sense you’re saying there is almost always unpurchased stocks floating around. I’m still confused because I thought more buyers than sellers was what drove the price of stock up?
