You can own a share of something profitable but if there is no dividend and there are more sellers than buyers where would its value trend to?
Company profits was one example of external factors, I also said "etc".

Amazon and Google are two massively successful companies. Has that got anything to do with their stock price rising? Of course.

I can't really tell you more than that about what makes stocks go up or down, unfortunately. If I could I'd be the richest man in the world.
