Trying to understand how index funds truly work/how the price moves up and down
How does the price move?
If every single person holding shares in $VOO decided to sell would it cause the price to plummet like a normal security would in that scenario?
Or are the price of index funds independent of the current market price, and only mirror the underlying securities?
If I buy 1 share of VOO, am I essentially just giving money to Vanguard who has purchased the underlying securities?
