When looking at a stock quote, you will typically see a stock’s current price, volume, and the bid and ask prices. Often investors attempt to buy or sell a stock, focusing solely on the stock’s current price. They place an order at the stock’s current price and become confused about why their buy or sell order isn’t executing.
