    Said it before and i'll say it again - you are an absolutely incredible teacher. One of the only people on youtube smart enough to understand a topic and explain it clearly and concisely to people who don't! Other people just try to teach you as if they're just going over it again in their heads.

    Great explanation, my thanks. So if a client placed a limit sell order at 110p, would it complete, or would the price have to rise 10p until bid price is 110p and offer price 130p (assuming spread remains constant)? I.e. does the market maker always protect their margin!?

Although I would appreciate if the DVD comes with more products like structured products, further elaboration on all of them (like the various bond types etc) and more examples in each video. Also if there are videos for banking processes like the back office processes, what treasury do and how it does what it does etc it would be great.

    @MarketDepth Maybe we should discuss this in the derivates video. Let me give you more information: the way to package debt is very particular. Basically, the loans are sliced in three: the best part (the first payments, less likely to default) the medium and the low. All of them are pooled with other similar pieces of debt to create a single package. When the crisis of 2008 started, trying to get a valuation of these assets was almost impossible.

Nice to be just old enough to have experienced the change from pit 2 'puter from beginning to end. I'm sure that the 10,000% increase securities types now avail to traders, and which took place in a decade, is solely due to the equally impressive volume increase in 10 years of likewaise 10k%

    @MarketDepth Are assets because the "packaged debt" is giving access to the cashflow generated by the "packaged debt". Securitization is the name of the packaging industry in this case. Banks give the loan, then they package several loans, they sell the package and get resources to lend money again. The buyer, get the cashflow at a discount from present value taking the risk of the underlying assets of these derivatives.

  • @gtmopl9048
    @gtmopl9048 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Lets suppose that in one specific security there is one market marker set by the stock market system to make a market.
    Also lets suppose that a typical public trader has the information about the bid and offer prices the market maker offers and lets try to figure out what will happen if that trader trys to compete with the market maker. It seems that he is having three options. We cannot analyze any options including any diversification in the offer price because we suppose that the trader doesn't own the particular stock at the beginning. So option one is to give a lower bid price than the market maker,second option is to offer the same bid price and last option to give a higher bid price than the market maker.
    Option one makes no sense since no one would sell his shares at the traders lowest bid price as soon as he can see that the market maker offers a higher buing price. Option three seems competitive enough at a first glance since an owner of a stock that wills to sell his stock will be happy to accept a buy offer higher than the one that the market maker offers. The trader now can offer a lower selling price for the stock he purchased than the selling price the market maker offers. So it seems that the market player is beaten. But this holds only as soon as the diffence in the bid price of the trader and the bid price of the trader is lower than the spread caused of the market maker. So it follows that the market maker can beat option three by decreasing his offer price and obviously his profits in order to eliminate option 3 three. I think that a rational trader would adopt option three,
    Option 2 now seems to overcome the problem thas was hiding behind option three since the market maker cannot decrease enough his offer price to beat the trader for the reason that both him and the trader bought the stock at the same price. Of course he can lower his potential profits by decreasing the offer price BUT the trader can adjust to that by additional decreasing his own profits. The result will only decrease the spread in a pure competitive enviroment.
    Now since i dont know almost anything about the stock market, i have a question at this point. Lets suppose that two persons owns 10 shares of a specific stock at lets say that they both want to sell all of their 10 stocks at the same price. So they both seek for a buyer that wants to buy at that price the stocks they possess. LETS ALSO SUPPOSE THAT THOSE TWO PERSONS ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT WANT TO SELL THAT SPECIFIC STOCK AT THAT SPECIFIC PRICE AND NO ONE ELSE WANTS TO. Okay now lets say that a buyer appears that wants to buy that stock at that SPECIFIC PRICE BUT he wants to buy ONLY ONE STOCK. Question is from whom seller will he buy?
    The answer to that question is really important to the above scenario of the trader and the market player. Because then i will be able to think about what will happen if the market player and the trader that follows option two will do in the case that no one of them is willing to decrease their profits any more and both of them stays at a certain offer price.
    Of course that is only a simple situations because it is not taking under account the fluctations in the price taking place meanwhile but its a first step to understand better the concept around market makers.

    The "spread" may be 20, but themarket maker's profit is not 20 but 10. It is 10 because the true market price is in between 100 and 120. So the actual market price is 110, but the ask price is 120, 10 profit. Likewise, the market price is 110, but the bid is 100. 10 loss for you, but 10 profit for the broker.

    of course, if you find a person who is willing to sell for £1.05, you can buy it for £1.05.
    The problem is finding the person. Usually you don't know anyone, so you have to ask a broker.
    The broker knows someone who sells for £1.05, so he says to you 'I can sell you for £1.15'. After all, the broker is no different to us. He is an employee working for his salary in a stock exchange company and he needs to make some money too!
