depends on how u sell shares. i did my selling of shares on the phone and got the price that was on the market at the time. the price was updated every minute with the company i dealt with and had i sold them a couple hours later i would have got 10 pence less per share as a colleague sold hers after me. i laughed.

Answer 3

The share price is the actual value of the share. The bid price is the price to sell a share, and the ask is the price to buy the share. The bid/ask change depending on the underlying share value.

The difference between bid/ask is called the spread. Companies buying and selling equities make their money based on the spread.

Eg, a share worth 100p will have spread of 97-103.
