JACK... There is NO limit to how wide a spread can be on a stock, as far as I know. A stock's spread is a function of the liquidity of that issue and represents the amount of risk involved in trading such an issue. Thus, if an MM is going to risk losing 5 points by buying or selling a thinly traded stock the spread will probably be at least a point or more. Simply, the greater the risk in the stock the wider the spread you will find. All the best, -- Gene
