MARKET-MAKER SPREAD
Difference between the price at which an investor is willing to buy a security and at which the market maker is willing to sell it. This pertains to the difference between the bid and ask price coming from the market maker for a certain security. Also, it represents the possible source of profit he or she can generate from this and intends to recompense the market maker for market making risk. Banks and brokerages encourage liquidity by creating markets in stocks; in return earn significant profits from these market-making activities.
