Actually nobody. The price of a company's share is determined by the demand and supply theory and not by any individual. During an IPO, the price is determined by the lead underwriters to the IPO issue. But once the stock gets listed, the demand and supply drives the price of the stock.

If a stock has heavy demand and limited supply, the price of the stock goes up. Similarly if a stock has little demand and heavy supply, the price goes down.

Randomly I would say, when the trend goes down :-). But of course that is not very easy to identify if you are not a full time investor dedicating your life in searching news or calculating the moving averages. I started just 2 years ago and I found it really hard...as there millions of tips out there what to buy but only god knows when to sell...I came a cross a facebook page which is really interesting. Its fb.com/vantagetrade. It talks about a product of theirs which gives you the moment when to sell and before that also when to buy. Its really good i think...

It depends on the kind of company, If it is a public traded company say OTC, the best way to detect is looking at the Level 2 of the stock. When you see bearish trades of the same size going in a lot. Let say you keep seeing 20,000 size trades coming in a lot by one or two market makers. if it keeps happening frequently by the exact same market makers, then there is possible dilution.

Companies sell stocks to raise money for the company.

When a company wants to raise money they can decide to sell ownership of their company. To do this they determine the total monetary value of the company as a whole. They then determine how many fractions they want to divide the company into (each of these fractions is one share of that companies stock). Then the find investors who would like to buy partial ownership of the company and sell them the parts of the company.

For Example:

Lets say Company X is worth $15 milllion and they want to divide ownership of the company into 1 million parts. They would create 1 million share of Company X stock and each share would be worth $15. They could then sell the shares to investors who would then own part of the company equal to 1/1,000,000 times the number of shares they own.
