6.1.2.1 Inside Market

The inside market is the highest bid and the lowest ask offered on the Nasdaq system. The inside market represents the best prices that Nasdaq has to offer for clients on a specific security. The inside market is sometimes known as the inside quote and the best bid and offer (BBO). The inside market does not include the markup or markdown that a market maker may charge.

Example: Imagine the following information is displayed in the Nasdaq Market Center, Level II screen, for Microsoft (MSFT):

	Bid	Ask	Size
Market Maker A	20.25	21.50	10 – 20
Market Maker B	19.75	22.25	20 – 20
Market Maker C	20.10	20.75	50 – 10
Market Maker D	18.50	22.00	10 – 10

So, on this exam [Series 66] I used both your material and Kaplan. mainly because the bank had already paid for kaplan and I had grown accustom to your laid back writing style along with a great mp3 version of the book. Anyway, I got a fair amount of questions from both the kaplan material and your material before taking the test. I have to say that your material matched more closely to the test than I ever would have expected. I will be coming back to Solomon exam prep for ALL of my exam prep needs. :-) Thanks!

Jeremy and team, thank you for your excellent study materials and your availability to provide guidance and feedback as I was able to pass my Series 66 on the first try... The most telling confirmation your training materials are top notch... when I sat for my exam, once the test started and I read the first question, I instantly knew from my studies using the Solomon training, I was going to handle the test. Being able to sense this from the first question was more than comforting. Thank you again!

I could not have passed [the Series 66] without your very comprehensive program. Thanks!

I just passed the Series 66 exam and found that the Solomon Exam Prep materials are the way to go when preparing for this exam. The advice given from the get-go is spot on; if you think you can cram for this course, forget it. Use the materials as advised and you'll do well. The format of the practice exams closely simulate the way the questions are presented on the test itself. I had 2 prep materials, Solomon's and another and I honestly believe Solomon's was the one that helped the most.

Thank you so much Solomon Prep for helping me to be able to successfully pass all three of my exams (SIE, Series 7 and Series 66) in a relatively short period of time. The exam packages were excellent! I will continue to refer people to your amazing program!

Passed the Series 66 on my first attempt. I thought the exam simulator was perfect. The material gave me the confidence I needed going into test day. I will only use Solomon for any other exams I take in the future. Thank you!
