Why do stock prices go up and down?
Stock prices go up and down based on the changes in investors' demand for a given corporation's stock. That demand is determined by investors' and potential investors' expectations regarding the company's future profits. If potential investors expect that a corporation will make high enough profits in the future, and they want to share in those profits and are willing to pay the current market price for the stock, they will buy stock in the company. But since there are only a fixed number of shares available for sale at any given time, as more and more new investors want to acquire stock in the same company, its price will be bid up until it gets so expensive that the expected future return no longer justifies the investment required to acquire the stock.Similarly, if stockholders get information that leads them to expect that the corporation might not do as well as they originally thought (or it looks as if having stock in another company will yield a better return for them), they will try to sell their shares at the market price. But since new investors will not be willing to pay high prices for stock when there is a big risk that the company might perform poorly, and a lot of current stockholders are trying to sell their shares at the same time, the demand for the stock on the part of new investors will be low, and its price will go down.

Why do US citizens let corporations run the country?
U.S. citizens do not understand the impact of corporations running the government and certainly the great impact it has on the future of America. They do not understand that corporations running the country are already impacting the lives of citizens in a very negative way. Corporations are interested in profits, not people and will make profits any way they can. That does not create progress for the citizens. Soon this country will join the rest of the third world countries where its corporate leaders hold all of the cards and all of the wealth. Not enough Whites realize they will be sacrificed right along with the Blacks, Hispanics and other immigrants. Corporations are raping the country.

If a company does not declare dividend will the share price of the company become zero?
Not always or usually. In fact, most corporations never post dividends. Some, such as General Electric do. When the company shows a profit, this profit (or a portion of it) is given to the owners (stockholders) through dividends. If a company that usually gives dividends suddenly stops doing so, questions arise. The normal reason is because the corporation showed no profit. That lowers the value of the stock. The dividend being cut or lost is a sign the company is going through a downturn and the stock falls because of that downturn. It is a symptom of the reason, not the reason itself.
