with buy and sell orders, meet at the trading post on the exchange and learn about current bid and ask price Typically, larger firms trade on organized exchanges 64 Over-the-Counter Markets Trading occurs over sophisticated telecommunications networks Dealers that make a market for stocks that trade in low volume are very important to the success of the over-the-counter market Market makers trade on an electronic network where bid and ask prices are set by them Market makers are compensated by the spread between the bid price (the price they pay for stocks) and ask price (the price they sell the stocks for) Typically, smaller firms trade in the over-the-counter market 65 Electronic Communications Networks (ECNs) An electronic network that brings together major brokarages and traders so that they can trade between themselves and bypass the middleman Advantages: Transparency, Cost reduction, faster execution, after-hours trading Primary disadvantage: work well only for stocks with

uncertainty about the cash flows, will be willing to pay the most As new information is released, investors will revise their estimates of the true value of the security and will either buy or sell it depending on how the market price compares to their estimated valuation 70 Errors in Valuation Problems with Estimating Growth Competiton will prevent high-growth firms from being able to maintain
