Could be a number of things goldbar2. I believe it could be one of these reasons.......
1. MMs what to widen the spread to make a bit more money from it??? Due to the popularity or interest in a stock, they can widen the spread out to make people pay more £ and/or sell at less £.
2. Low volume of trades on the market can sometimes make the spread widen. In Albas case, it could be because we are all happy with our holding and not buying anymore, also investors not in are waiting on the side lines and both them and us are awaiting on the assay results before buying more or buying in.
3. High volatility stocks tend to have wide spreads, due to the possible risks of the share prices jumping one way or the other.
4. The MMS feel like it just to annoy you.
Which do you think it could be?
Hope this helps.
