Bid Price and Ask Price

The  bid  &  ask  refers to the price that an investor is willing to buy or sell a stock. The bid is the highest amount that a buyer is currently willing to pay, whereas the ask is the lowest amount that a seller is currently willing to sell. The numbers next to the bid/ask are the “ size ”. The bid size displays the total amount of desired shares ...

The data displayed in the quote bar updates every 3 seconds; allowing you to monitor prices in real-time. The  bid-ask spread  can indicate a stock’s liquidity, which is how easy it is to buy and sell in the marketplace. Often, a smaller spread suggests higher liquidity, meaning more buyers and sellers in the market are willing to negotiate. In contrast, a larger spread suggests lower liquidity, as there are fewer investors willing to negotiate. You can use the bid-ask spread to determine whether to place a  market order  or  limit order  when trading, helping you to optimize your price and have a successful order execution.

Inside NASA's 5-month fight to save the Voyager 1 mission in interstellar space

After working for five months to re-establish communication with the farthest-flung human-made object in existence, NASA announced this week that the Voyager 1 probe had finally phoned home.

For the engineers and scientists who work on NASA’s longest-operating mission in space, it was a moment of joy and intense relief.

“That Saturday morning, we all came in, we’re sitting around boxes of doughnuts and waiting for the data to come back from Voyager,” said Linda Spilker, the project scientist for the Voyager 1 mission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. “We knew exactly what time it was going to happen, and it got really quiet and everybody just sat there and they’re looking at the screen.”

When at long last the spacecraft returned the agency’s call, Spilker said the room erupted in celebration.

“There were cheers, people raising their hands,” she said. “And a sense of relief, too — that OK, after all this hard work and going from barely being able to have a signal coming from Voyager to being in communication again, that was a tremendous relief and a great feeling.”

The problem with Voyager 1 was first detected in November . At the time, NASA said it was still in contact with the spacecraft and could see that it was receiving signals from Earth. But what was being relayed back to mission controllers — including science data and information about the health of the probe and its various systems — was garbled and unreadable.

That kicked off a monthslong push to identify what had gone wrong and try to save the Voyager 1 mission.

Spilker said she and her colleagues stayed hopeful and optimistic, but the team faced enormous challenges. For one, engineers were trying to troubleshoot a spacecraft traveling in interstellar space , more than 15 billion miles away — the ultimate long-distance call.

“With Voyager 1, it takes 22 1/2 hours to get the signal up and 22 1/2 hours to get the signal back, so we’d get the commands ready, send them up, and then like two days later, you’d get the answer if it had worked or not,” Spilker said.

The team eventually determined that the issue stemmed from one of the spacecraft’s three onboard computers. Spilker said a hardware failure, perhaps as a result of age or because it was hit by radiation, likely messed up a small section of code in the memory of the computer. The glitch meant Voyager 1 was unable to send coherent updates about its health and science observations.

NASA engineers determined that they would not be able to repair the chip where the mangled software is stored. And the bad code was also too large for Voyager 1's computer to store both it and any newly uploaded instructions. Because the technology aboard Voyager 1 dates back to the 1960s and 1970s, the computer’s memory pales in comparison to any modern smartphone. Spilker said it’s roughly equivalent to the amount of memory in an electronic car key.

The team found a workaround, however: They could divide up the code into smaller parts and store them in different areas of the computer’s memory. Then, they could reprogram the section that needed fixing while ensuring that the entire system still worked cohesively.

That was a feat, because the longevity of the Voyager mission means there are no working test beds or simulators here on Earth to test the new bits of code before they are sent to the spacecraft.

“There were three different people looking through line by line of the patch of the code we were going to send up, looking for anything that they had missed,” Spilker said. “And so it was sort of an eyes-only check of the software that we sent up.”

The hard work paid off.

NASA reported the happy development Monday, writing in a post on X : “Sounding a little more like yourself, #Voyager1.” The spacecraft’s own social media account responded , saying, “Hi, it’s me.”

So far, the team has determined that Voyager 1 is healthy and operating normally. Spilker said the probe’s scientific instruments are on and appear to be working, but it will take some time for Voyager 1 to resume sending back science data.

Voyager 1 and its twin, the Voyager 2 probe, each launched in 1977 on missions to study the outer solar system. As it sped through the cosmos, Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, studying the planets’ moons up close and snapping images along the way.

Voyager 2, which is 12.6 billion miles away, had close encounters with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune and continues to operate as normal.

In 2012, Voyager 1 ventured beyond the solar system , becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, or the space between stars. Voyager 2 followed suit in 2018.

Spilker, who first began working on the Voyager missions when she graduated college in 1977, said the missions could last into the 2030s. Eventually, though, the probes will run out of power or their components will simply be too old to continue operating.

Spilker said it will be tough to finally close out the missions someday, but Voyager 1 and 2 will live on as “our silent ambassadors.”

Both probes carry time capsules with them — messages on gold-plated copper disks that are collectively known as The Golden Record . The disks contain images and sounds that represent life on Earth and humanity’s culture, including snippets of music, animal sounds, laughter and recorded greetings in different languages. The idea is for the probes to carry the messages until they are possibly found by spacefarers in the distant future.

“Maybe in 40,000 years or so, they will be getting relatively close to another star,” Spilker said, “and they could be found at that point.”

In April last year, a group of nearly 60 EU officials travelled to Sweden on a fact-finding mission to meet Nasdaq Stockholm, operator of the country’s highly successful stock market.

During a two-hour session on “capital markets ecosystems”, the exchange’s executives explained why so many small and medium-sized businesses are deciding to list in Stockholm.

At a time when the UK and many other European countries are struggling to attract initial public offerings and suffering from falling trading volumes, Sweden stands out for having, relative to its size, thriving capital markets that are backed by legions of investors and which are even tempting foreign companies to list.

“Sweden now has the deepest capital markets in Europe,” said William Wright, co-founder of markets think-tank New Financial. “What they’ve realised is you do need this ecosystem and you need to encourage it at every step of the way.”

Policymakers across Europe are urgently trying to revive their own stock markets by changing listing rules and incentives for company founders, and by trying to encourage pension fund and retail investment in domestic stocks.

Yet Sweden already has a sizeable head start on other countries, having introduced many of these measures years, or even decades, ago.

Over the past 10 years, 501 companies have listed in Sweden, more than the total number of IPOs in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain combined, according to Dealogic data. The UK is top with 765 listings.

While Sweden’s total IPO fundraising volumes are well below those in the US — where some larger Swedish companies such as music service Spotify and drinks maker Oatly have listed — the Nordic country has been highly successful at encouraging smaller domestic businesses to stay at home, encouraged by the depth of its stock market.

“Compared to the size of the country and also the size of the stock exchange, the [Swedish] IPO market has definitely been more vibrant in allowing smaller companies to list than others,” said Tony Elofsson, chief executive of Carnegie Group, a Nordic bank and asset manager. Around 90 per cent of listings are valued at less than $1bn, according to Adam Kostyál, president of Nasdaq Stockholm.

A key driver has been the country’s investment culture, which Carnegie’s Elofsson says has attracted “everyone from the man on the street to very engaged private banking investors, entrepreneurs, but also the small and mid-cap investment community”, referring to institutional investors.

Among larger investors, Swedish pension funds have long owned domestic equities. The country’s four biggest retirement schemes have roughly maintained or increased their holdings of domestic equities in recent years. In the UK, in contrast, domestic equity holdings among pension funds have plunged to about 4 per cent. Meanwhile, Swedish insurance companies have the highest holdings of stocks in the EU.

Large investors typically take the role of so-called cornerstone investors in IPOs, according to John Thiman, partner at law firm White and Case in Stockholm, giving confidence to businesses preparing to go public, and to other investors.

“Every single successful IPO has involved some level of cornerstone investors,” he said. “There is a very strong equity sentiment from rock solid investors.”

Retail investors are also big buyers of Swedish stocks, helped by a wealth of reforms in recent decades. Compared with the rest of Europe, Swedish households hold among the highest proportion of their investments in listed companies and among the lowest in bank deposit holdings, while financial literacy is greater than in Germany, France or Spain.

In 1984, the government introduced Allemansspar, a product enabling ordinary Swedes to invest in stock markets. By 1990 there were already 1.7mn of these accounts, helping drive the launch of domestically focused small and mid-cap funds.

Such funds arrived “10-to-20 years before any other country did anything similar, at least in Europe”, said Carl Rosenius, head of equity capital markets at Swedish bank SEB. “That’s been the success story in Sweden for sure, having large funds actively looking at domestic small and mid-cap opportunities.”

Rule changes in the 1990s allowed people to invest 2.5 per cent of the amount they allocate to their pensions into funds of their choice, supported by a public information campaign.

And in 2012 the state introduced investment savings accounts called ISKs that allow individuals to invest without needing to report their holdings or worry about capital gains or dividend tax. Instead, the total value of the account is taxed — and in 2024 that was at a level of about 1 per cent.

Some charities go into schools to educate those aged 16 to 18 about finance, for instance on the difference between shares and mutual funds, according to Joacim Olsson, chief executive of Swedish shareholder group Aktiespararna.

Other European countries are racing to encourage their populations to invest in stocks. The UK last month launched a £5,000 tax-free allowance for investing in British companies , while France’s finance minister, frustrated with the pace of EU reforms, has called for a few countries to forge ahead alone and create a new investment product.

Nasdaq Stockholm has even been trying to lure foreign businesses, for instance small and medium-sized companies in Germany, which Kostyál said is “underserved in terms of the local IPO market”.

“It’s clear that Germany has an infrastructure problem insofar that it’s very difficult for smaller companies to list there,” said Joakim Falkner, partner at Baker McKenzie in Stockholm. German investors have historically favoured bonds over stocks, making equity raising more challenging.

Myles Murray, founder of Irish medical equipment maker PMD Solutions, chose to IPO in Stockholm earlier this year, saying the plethora of comparable healthcare companies listed there meant analysts could more easily assess his company, compared with listing on Euronext Dublin.

Access to large investors was a big help. “We were a foreign company, pre profit, and the smallest of brokers could get a meeting with [the big pension funds] and that was very surprising,” said Murray.

Sweden’s system appears to have translated into stock market returns. Its main index has gained 85 per cent over the past decade, while the Euro Stoxx 600 index has risen 49 per cent and London’s FTSE 100 just 17 per cent.

That, too, is helping persuade Swedish small and mid-sized companies to stay at home.

“Why cross the river to get water, as we say in Sweden,” said Carnegie’s Elofsson.
