Thoughts anyone? uh, occasionally....try not to make it a habit though. We could have lot's of fun with the "spread so large" talk, but I don't think I'll go there. My broker told me that wide spreads have to do with the MM maintaining inventory on a stock. The more liquid the stock, the smaller the spread, because he's making money on the volume and doesn't have to worry about keeping "unsold inventory on the shelves" On your smaller, more illiquid stocks, they will have a wider spread because they feel they're taking on a higher degree of risk by taking on the "inventory" so they will try to get a premium. Usually the spread narrows once the supply/demand becomes more predictable and heavy. bp
