Why the market price above the closing price of a share?
An ETF that I am seeing today closed Friday at $ 76.60 per share. If I buy shares in the market rate, it becomes 78.50. Why is the market value much higher for a given population that the closing price? If, after trading hours has affected the prices, how can I keep track of fluxuations? All followers of values only I sometimes face the U.S. market is open. Thanks Common Sense: For a "basic" question, that somehow, for not answering any. Perhaps the next time you can save the lecture on what people should and should not do in "Yahoo! Answers" and actually answer the question. After all, this is "Yahoo! Council" after all.
You have to take into account the differential between the purchase price and selling price. The market maker is sold at a purchase price and a lower price. Here's how it makes its profit. – But you have to work with what stock is available. In addition to market orders, many orders limited. For example, there may be people willing to buy if the stock drops to 76.50 or $ 76.40. and willing to sell if it totals $ 77.00 or $ 77.50 in after-hours trading, spreads between buying and rising prices due to lower volume. During regular trading day, stocks with the volume higher tend to have the smallest margin between supply and price. Limit orders can be "good for the day" (ie, ending when the market close) – or can be "good until canceled." – Let the market maker wants to make 25 cents per share traded. – After of hours with little trade-up, there may still be someone with a good order until canceled the sale 100 shares at 78.25, although the closing price was $ 76.60. (They can also be good to people who have canceled orders to sell to 80,00 or higher prices) – If you really want 100 shares, the market maker could to get you to 78.50.
