Theoretically, is it possible for one day, all the stock holders decide, they am just not going to sell, or buy, or make trades for that day, or week or month? They just hold onto the stocks they have and collect dividends.
What will happen if last for a day, a week, or even a few months? Would this even be possible? Has this ever occurred LOLZ. Will this essentially mean the stock market is now zero?
We always here how the stocks go down by this percentage, and then go up again, then goes down, and there is this big panic. As long as the company you own is still doing business, then your asset is still there though. Is like selling a home. Sometimes the market is just not there, so you dont sell.
When you buy a stock, how often is that directly purchased from company for purpose of raising capital as opposed to being sold by some shareholder? Company always needing to raise capital, so in that case this theoretically cannot occur.
it would never happen ...up or down stocks trade ..the only thing that changes is what is offered or wanted for the stock .. you may have it happen to a particular thinly traded stock but broad markets , nope
Supposedly one of the benefits of automated trading systems is they provide instant liquidity for obscure listings that might see no bids otherwise. Read about the DTCC, it’s a real eye opener. Talk about big data...

only sometimes ... it once took me 2 or 3 days to sell off a small bank stock i had , it was so thinly traded
This happened on "black Friday" in 1987. Many of the "market makers" and "specialists" stopped making markets and many stocks had no bids and asks. I was making markets on that day. I would put in ridiculous bids on stocks and they would be filled.

The price probably wouldn't show a change, but they would change to show their true prices as soon as they started trading. Kind of like the overnight futures or newly listed stocks.

You can somewhat see what you're speaking on at the end of each day. When the market goes into afterhours, there's still trading activity, but it dies off pretty quickly as the "bid" (what someone is offering to buy shares) and the "ask" (what someone is willing to sell shares at) move apart. Volume amounts drop down and there's essentially no trades soon thereafter. Assuming an issue has no news affecting it, the likely opening price will start right around where it left off the day prior. The change is considered "the gap". As in, something has gapped up $2...meaning the share price is $2 higher than the day before.
Actually it doesn’t ..there are some 24 hour trading sites that trade 7 days a week like IG as an example ...in fact google IG Wall Street on a weekend and it will show you how stocks are trading like a futures on the futures
