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?

usually spreads are a few %, not over 10% of the bid.
