[RT] Bid/Ask spread



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

In the pits of the S&P the locals collect the spread between the 
bid/ask. You knew their was a spread, why it existed and who 
benefited. In electronic trading since there is no middleman/locals:
 
1. Why do we have a bid/ask?
2. Does anyone collect the spread?
3. Why can't I Buy/Sell at the last price?
4. Why can't I buy at the Ask or Sell at the Bid?

Can someone give some insight to these questions.
