Hey,

I'm new to the stock market and am curious to know if the stock market only has money in circulation because of investors who have put money into them directly via buying shares or is there also an underlying cause in which stock prices will sky rocket? Let's say for example... if a mass amount of people start buying Apple's new thin laptop will Apple shares increase in value directly from the profit that Apple makes from selling this new thin laptop or is the price of a share strictly dependent on buyers and sellers buying/selling their shares?

thanks in advanced for helping me with this confusion.
