The Bid/Ask Spread. The bid/ask spread is the difference in price between the bid and ask. In active stocks the bid/ask spread is typically $0.01, for example the bid is $10.05 and the offer is $10.06. The attached chart example shows a Level 2 in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF.
This is the opposite of the ask, which stipulates the price a seller is willing to accept for a security and the quantity of the security to be sold at that price. 1. An example of a bid in the market would be $23.53 x 1,000, which means that an investor is willing to purchase 1,000 shares at the price of $23.53. If a seller in the market is willing to sell that amount for that price, then the transaction is completed. 2. Market makers are vital to the efficiency and liquidity of the marketplace. By quoting both bid and ask prices on the market, they always allow investors to buy or sell a security if they need to.
