A question related to eventual, hopefully, sale of the company for those of you who have a deeper understanding of market makers than I do. When a company A is sold for, say $10.00/share, one would expect that one could sell his shares at that price. However, I have not seen that happening in my experience. There is always an hair cut by market makers to make money. The quoted process could be, say $9.95. In the case of a sale, since large amounts of shares are sold, this fee ($0.05 in our example) could be outrageous amounting to a highway-robbery. Does anybody know how to avoid that middle man altogether? What is the most cost-effective way of large amount of shares in that case?
Thanks & cheers.
