| Definition: |
| The highest price any buyer is willing to pay for a given security at a given time; also called Bid price. The price a potential buyer is willing to pay for a security. Sometimes also used in the context of takeovers where one Corporation is bidding for (trying to buy) another corporation. In trading, we have the bid-ask spread which is the difference between what buyers are willing to pay and what sellers are asking for in terms of price.
