Suppose the NBBO for GHI is $100.00 Bid × $100.05 Ask. A market maker observes that they have accumulated an uncomfortably large 'long' inventory of 5,000 shares.

How will they likely 'shade' their quotes to manage this risk?

  1. Keep quotes the same but increase displayed size
  2. Raise both the Bid and the Ask prices
  3. Lower both the Bid and the Ask prices
  4. Widen the spread to $99.95 Bid × $100.10 Ask
