Bid Ask Spread • Measures the round-trip transaction cost • Tends to be narrower for actively traded stocks • For the most active stocks, often one penny • Ten or fifteen cents for less active stocks • Sometimes wider
Order Types: Market Order • Order to buy or sell immediately • Execution price is uncertain • Should execute at or near the quote • Buy order: at the ask price • Sell order: at the bid price • Quotes can move • Price improvement is possible
Order Types: Limit Order • Price-contingent order • May not execute immediately • May never execute • If it does, it will be at the specified price or better. • Limit buy: at or below specified limit price • Limit sell: at or above specified limit price • “Marketable” limit order: can be executed immediately
Order Types: Limit Order • Limit orders can be: • Day orders (cancelled if unfilled at close) • Good until cancelled • In a specialist market or order-driven market, limit orders go into an “order book” • Price priority • Time priority • Market makers in a dealer market can accept limit orders, but there may not be a consolidated book.
Order Types: Stop orders • Becomes market order when price hits target “stop” price • Example: Stop loss order • Price is currently at 55 • Put in stop loss order at 50 • If stock hits 50, sell immediately
Order Types: Stop Limit Order • Becomes limit order when stock hits target stop price • Example: • Stock is currently at 35 • Submit limit order to buy at 39, with stop at 40 • If stock hits 40, then it converts into a limit order to buy at 39
Order Types: All or Nothing • When submitting a limit order, it is possible that only part of your order may be filled. • For example, you may want to buy 1,000 shares, but only get 800 shares. • To avoid this, specify “All or nothing”
Order Types: Fill or Kill • A limit order that will be cancelled if it does not execute immediately • Example: • The current ask is $20 • If you use a market buy, price could move up while you are submitting the order, and you could pay more • Submit a fill or kill at 20 if you don’t want to pay more. • If the price does increase, order will not execute
StocksBuying on Margin • Borrowing money to buy a stock • Margin: the percentage of the stock position that belongs to you MV = Market Value of Assets Margin = ( MV – Loan ) / MV
StocksBuying on Margin • Initial Margin Requirement: Minimum margin required at entry. Broker cannot set it below 50%
StocksBuying on Margin Example Amazing.com is at 20 You have $150,000 in cash Borrow $50,000 You buy 10,000 shares for $200,000 Initial Margin = 150K / 200K = 75%
StocksBuying on Margin Your margin level changes whenever the stock price changes. Example: Amazing.com goes to 25 Margin = (250K-50K)/250K = 80% Amazing.com goes to 10 Margin = (100K-50K)/100K = 50%
StocksBuying on Margin Maintenance Margin: • The minimum margin required to keep a position open • Broker cannot set below 25% • If your margin falls below this level, you receive a margin call
StocksBuying on Margin Example: Maintenance Requirement = 35% When would you get a margin call? (10,000 X – 50,000) / 10,000 X = .35 50,000 / 10,000 X = .65 X = 50,000 / 10,000 (.65) = 7.69

StocksShort Selling • Borrowing a stock and selling it • Eventually, you must buy it back • Make money when stock goes down • Lose when the stock goes up

StocksShort Selling • A lender must be found • The lender can demand the security back at any time • If no new lender can be found, you can be squeezed out of the short • The short party is responsible for dividends
StocksShort Selling Margin Requirement for Shorting As a collateral against default, you must keep 100% of the proceeds of the short plus an additional margin. Initial requirement: at least 50% Maintenance requirement: at least 30%
StocksShort Selling Margin for a Short Position: CM = Cash in Margin Account MV = Market Value of Stock Margin = ( CM – MV ) / MV = (CM/MV) - 1
StocksShort Selling Example, continued Short 1,000 shares of Dog at 60. Initial margin requirement = 50% Must keep the $60,000 proceeds plus an additional $30,000 (90,000 – 60,000) / 60,000 = .5
StocksShort Selling Example, continued Maintenance requirement = 30% When will you get a margin call? (90,000 / 1,000 X) - 1 = .30 90,000 = 1.30 (1000 X) X = 69.23
