Ok, I could be wrong here, but technically spreads widen because of a lack of liquidity. A spread is just the difference between bid and ask, which is the difference between what someone will buy at and what someone will sell at. During high ...

Why do spreads widen?

Is there really a point in guessing where it's going to go?

How you liked this nice drop ? :)

Actually I think he's in the "You bet it is!" category, in which case 92% of voters don't agree.
