Basically the money doesn't go anywhere. When you buy a stock you will get a confirmation statement from your broker, showing the amount you paid for the stock + the commission. When you sell the stock you will also get a confirmation statement from your broker, showing the amount you sold the stock for - the commission. You compare the "Net Amount" from those two statements to see if you made a profit or had a loss. Either way, that must be reported to the IRS. The "Value" of your stock can go up or go down or stay the same. Once you buy a stock the amount you paid is only meaningfull to you and the IRS, as the only other time the IRS cares about the "Value" of your stock is when you sell it. The money is gone once you buy the stock - you can think of it as it went to whomever sold it.

Why does a company go public and sell stocks?
Cash inflow - they are offering the public a chance to earn dividends (profits regularly distributed) in exchange for cash to run the company or do research or buy some technology or even another company. Sometimes a company has outgrown it's facilities and needs to buy new ones but it doesn't have the cash or credit to do this, making a public offering of stock can bring this sort of cash. A lot of companies are not offering stock, they don't have to or don't feel the return on investment is worth it. A lot of times a company goes public because it have reached a plateau that only more investment will allow the company to get past.
What is the difference between a market order and a limit order?
A market order is one in which your buy/sell request is executed at the current market price of that share
A limit order is one in which your buy/sell request is executed only when the market price of the stock equals the limit price you set
Example:
Assuming stocks of XYZ ltd are trading at Rs. 100 and you place a market order for 10 shares then, 10 shares of XYZ limited would be bought for you at the price of 100 per share + the brokerage & taxes
If you place a limit order for the same at Rs. 95 and the price of XYZ starts going down, the moment the price of XYZ limited touches 95 your order would be executed and 10 shares of XYZ at Rs. 95 per share would be bought for you.

What is the difference between common stock and preferred stock and which is better?
A preferred share usually entitles the holder to a dividend of a specified percentage. A preferred share's dividend is paid before any dividend is paid to the holders of the common shares. People who are looking for income, rather than growth, generally tend to purchase preferred shares instead of common shares (assuming they invest at all in shares). The return on investment is usually a little higher than ordinary interest-bearing paper. But there is also a corresponding risk. A common share gives the holder an opportunity for a capital gain if the company grows and prospers. Dividends are not always paid to common shareholders. Whether preferred is better than common (or vice versa) depends on your investment strategies and how much risk you are willing to take. The foregoing is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended to be, nor should it be considered as being, investment advice.

This buyer may be anyone with a brokerage account or access to an electronic communications network.

You can find some info from S&P stock reports. They would give yearly high/lows of P/E. They provide the information for the last 10 yrs (only in a yearly format). Often you can access the S&P reports from your broker (such as Scottrade). I'm not sure where you can find daily information.
