Just Bored asked:


I always see footage of the stock market and people are running around like crazy and yelling over each other. It seems so chaotic. I know nothing about the stock market or how it works. I know the basics but that’s it. I am just curious. Hopefully someone can give me a good answer and not a smart *** comment or remark. Thanks.

   The price they were asking.
   For standing orders that stock he must go to match his order if he must go to look at the price they were asking.
   For standing orders that may have been offered earlier in the day and find another trader.
