Bid-Ask Spreads
Bids > Close Price. Smaller Spreads
Bid-ask spreads indicate demand and supply / market liquidity. Bid represents demand and ask supply.
| Company | Close | Bid | Ask | Spread $ | Spread % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ROC | 3.45 | 3.45 | 3.90 | 0.45 | +13.04% |
| CFF | 15.64 | 16.00 | 17.80 | 1.80 | +11.25% |
| GWEST | 0.99 | 1.00 | 1.10 | 0.10 | +10.00% |
| JETCON | 1.80 | 1.80 | 1.95 | 0.15 | +8.33% |
| CHL | 9.45 | 9.51 | 10.01 | 0.50 | +5.26% |
A small spread exists when a stock is being actively traded and has high volume – this is normally prefered as it allows orders to be filled quickly at the prices we want.
Bids < / = Close Price. Larger Spreads
Stocks with low volumes usually have wider spreads. Also, small or unknown companies frequently exhibit lower trading volume because fewer investors are interested in relatively unknown firms.
| Company | Close | Bid | Ask | Spread $ | Spread % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 138SLVR | 6.00 | 1.20 | 6.00 | 4.80 | +400.00% |
| PAL | 2,900.00 | 1,000.00 | 5,000.00 | 4,000.00 | +400.00% |
| ISP | 32.90 | 14.00 | 31.99 | 17.99 | +128.50% |
| SILUS | 0.02 | 0.01 | 0.02 | 0.01 | +100.00% |
| KEY | 3.30 | 2.00 | 3.00 | 1.00 | +50.00% |
Large bid-ask spreads on illiquid shares are also used by market makers to compensate themselves for assuming the risk of holding low-volume securities. A wide spread represents a higher premium for market makers.
