Alma Said:

Why do some stock prices continue to change after the market has closed?

We Answered:

You can invest after hours. However you generally have to pay more to do so, and the after hours market is less liquid meaning the price you pay can deviate widely from what you'd expect to get.

Erica Said:

Why is opening price different than the earlier closing price for shares in stock market?

We Answered:

The closing price relates to the stock price at the close of trading on the LOCAL market for that day.

The next day's opening price usually differs due to trading of this same stock on OTHER markets during the period when the local market is closed, or the general trend of those other markets during this time.

Based on what happens with the U.S market, the Australasian, Asian and European markets generally follow suit.
