Here's your chance to learn about the elasticity of supply/demand! 🤓

💡 Elasticity of supply/demand = how sensitive a product/stock is to supply/demand changes 🏷️

Many of us have favorite products, but would they still be our favorite if the price doubles? 🤔

This is what Elasticity hopes to determine and it helps businesses decide if price increases are worth it 🤑

The elasticity of supply/demand also depends on the availability of competing products. 🤔

If Apple 2x-ed their prices but Android released a great product, then many customers would buy Android devices. 🤖

If there are few great alternatives for a certain stock, then the demand for that stock will be less elastic. 💼

So the demand for that stock will be less sensitive to changes in price. 🤔

The elasticity of supply/demand also depends on the time frame, or how long you’re hoping to invest in a stock. 🕰️

If the time frame is short, then the demand for a certain stock will be more elastic. 💪

That means that the demand for that stock will be more sensitive to changes in price.

On the other hand, if the time frame is long, then the demand for a certain stock will be less elastic. 🤑

That means that the demand for that stock will be less sensitive to changes in price. 🤓

So, now you know that elasticity helps investors understand how sensitive a stock or product may be to changes in supply and demand! 🚀
