Default Re: ask Dcifrths...well, anything...about finance/mkts/ports that is.

yes, equities. also, what other factors influence the bid/ask spread for equities? I'm assuming number of market markers on a given board, no?

also, when I see something like this for a stock:
bid: 5.00 x 100
ask: 5.69 x 2000

on yahoo finance, what does that mean?

let me know if any of these questions don't make sense to ask, I am very new at this stuff.
