"Supply is a constant, in a relative sense, demand is a variable that values the constant, in the present" The physical number of shares issued might be a constant but that is not the meaningful metric of supply. You are right that the variation of this "constant" moves the supply, but that is all well and good. Supply is a legitimate part of the market, whether it be longs selling, or shorters selling shares they don't have. I agree with you on the point about the markets being a big scam, and wall street having hijacked what is supposed to be a fair market where investors provide funds to companies in return for a share in the profits and growth. But it is about much more than supply and demand of individual shares. Take for instance the last few weeks when we have had gaps all over the place. We were not moving along any supply or demand curve, the curves were being moved by futures manipulation overnight without any shares being traded.
