I haven't tried it yet but apparently if you call your broker they can even tell you what the closest bid and ask is
THAT'S EXACTLY right buddy i tested it out the first day and have bought since then, every time i call, they put me on hold and come back w what someone is bidding and what someone is asking
we can go around chasing our tails trying to prove that what each one of us is saying is true in the def of what to call it
but essentially, it's a bid and an ask w out someone making the market
pretty basic stuff here no need to overanalyze or disect
