Abstract

This article discusses personal finance and what an individual must know in order to trade Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The author describes the importance of the "bid-ask spread" and how investors determine the cost by analyzing what a market maker will charge a buyer as opposed to a seller. Comparing the bid-ask spread to the ETF price then provides the bid-ask ratio.
