| Bid/Offer Price |
The bid is the highest price that a prospective buyer is
willing to pay for a specific security. The offer, also called the �asking
price�, is the lowest price acceptable to a prospective seller of the same
security. The highest bid and lowest offer are quoted on most major exchanges,
and the difference between the two prices is called the �spread.�
