SLDR also incorporates our Loft-sleeve Technology, which allows you to adjust the loft. You can choose from 12 positions within a range of plus-or-minus 1.5 degrees of loft change. SLDR is available in three lofts â 9.5Â°, 10.5Â° and HL.
Both prices are quotes on a single share of stock. The bid price is what buyers are willing to pay for it. The ask price is what sellers are willing to take for it. If you are selling a stock, you are going to get the bid price, if you are buying a stock you are going to get the ask price. The difference (or spread) goes to the broker/specialist that handles the transaction.
This example is to illustrate the bid/ask spread, with the BID price on the left, and the ASK price on the right. The BID Price: Essentially, the BID is the price at which a buyer or market maker is willing to buy a security. If you owned shares in a stock, say AuthenTec, and wanted to sell, it is the current price at which someone is willing to purchase your shares.
