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.
Think of an auction. The bid is the price closest to the last transaction that buyers are willing to buy at. The ask is the price closest to the last transaction that sellers are willing to sell at. You can also think of them as the market price of a stock--bid being the market price if you are selling at the market and ask being the price if you are buying at the market. The difference between the bid price and the ask price is called the spread.. It is a fee that the market maker pockets as payment for keeping the market liquid. Generally, you will only see bid and ask prices quoted for NASDAQ stocks. On the NY and American exchanges the spread is a more uniform 1/16 to 1/8 point.
