When getting a splitter, it is important to know what to get. Knowing what kind of splitter to get and when to get it will help the buyer purchase the right splitter. The following tips will help when choosing a splitter: Do not use splitters to combine cables. Combiners ruin the digital signal and make it hard for the modem and the digital boxes to communicate with each other. For cable Internet splitters, look for a splitter rated for at least 1GHz, but 900 MHz also will work well. 1GHz means the splitter can pass signals all the way up to 1GHz
What is a 'Bid'. A bid is an offer made by an investor, a trader or a dealer to buy a security, commodity or currency. It stipulates both the price the potential buyer is willing to pay and the quantity to be purchased at that price.
The ask price represents the minimum price that a seller is willing to receive. A trade or transaction occurs after the buyer and seller agree on a price for the security. The difference between the bid and ask prices, or the spread, is a key indicator of the liquidity of the asset. In general, the smaller the spread, the better the liquidity. 'Bid and Ask' is also known as 'Bid and Offer'. BREAKING DOWN 'Bid and Asked' The average investor contends with the bid and ask spread as an implied cost of trading. For example, if the current price quotation for security A is $10.50 / $10.55, investor X, who is looking to buy A at the current market price, would pay $10.55, while investor Y who wishes to sell A at the current market price would receive $10.50.
