I understand that on ex dividend day, the price will fall by the dividend amount from the previous day. Since the company has no control over share price, what is actually controlling the price?

It can't just fall by itself I presume. Is it institutional investors?

There are designated market makers (I think these are the major banks and various financial entities).

When these market makers make the trades for the day, they will corresponding adjust the opening bids for the day - notice the opening price per day is not exactly the same as the ending price the previous day.

I understand that P/E ratio stands for - Company's share price to per-share earnings. But I do not understand how it works?

SIA - I bought 500 shares at $8 and left it untouched since it was dropping continuously. Is it advisable to take up the ex-right shares since the stock price is so low now?

Isn't it a guaranteed profit when traders short a stock before ex date and buy back on/after ex date since it is guaranteed that the stock price will fall on ex date?

Do you think it is wise to buy stocks after ex dividend date? Would buying stocks after dividend date for blue chips stock good for long term investment since price drop after that?
