easy · Volume Price Analysis

A market maker in XYZ Corp quotes a bid of $22.10 and an ask of $22.25.

If they execute 10,000 shares on both sides (buying at bid, selling at ask), what is their gross profit from the spread, and how does this relate to the 'Wholesaler' analogy?

  1. $1,500; they profit by selling inventory at a discount to attract buyers.
  2. $250; they only profit when the price of the stock increases significantly.
  3. $1,500; they profit by buying at wholesale (bid) and selling at retail (ask).
  4. $150; they profit from commission on the 10,000 shares.
