    About this ebook

    The Stock Market is an auction market. People attempt to match asked prices with bid prices. When the two prices match, a transaction occurs. This book discusses the type of bids and offers that can be made and the types of transactions that will be accepted. The terms, "Asked Price", "Bid Price", "At the Market Order", "Limit Order", and "Trade" are defined and discussed.
