  1. why do some stocks have such big spreads sometimes? i just shorted this stock when it was 5.17 x 5.18....now it's 5.05 x 5.25.

    Why do you find it unusual? When people don't want to buy or sell the stock badly enough, the spread can widen.

  6. echo, I think bungrider took the quote from on top of Michael
    Douglas's head. See the pic? It's right there... I am sure he
    meant this quote for the original poster. But who knows! Maybe
    not!...

    :eek:
