Changes in the implicit value of a stock can cause it to drop dramatically in price because it is intangible. Basically, it is investors' perceived value of the stock. If investors perceive a company to be in financial trouble, whether it is or not, it decreases the implicit value of the stock.
Stock prices change every day as a result of market forces. By this we mean that share prices change because of supply and demand. If more people want to buy a stock (demand) than sell it (supply), then the price moves up. Conversely, if more people wanted to sell a stock than buy it, there would be greater supply than demand, and the price would fall. Understanding supply and demand is easy.
