The challenge of investing in illiquid stocks
Investing in illiquid stocks, comes with its own set of challenges. These stocks may not trade frequently, leading to potential discrepancies between the last traded price and the actual buying and selling prices. To mitigate these risks, investors need to approach illiquid stocks with caution and diligence, understanding the potential impact on their investment decisions.
When executing trades, it's crucial to have access to accurate offer and ask prices. These prices represent the current market value of a stock and can vary significantly from the last traded price, especially in illiquid markets. By checking offer and ask prices before making investment decisions, investors can avoid surprises and make more informed choices about their trades.
