Auction Market The stock market is an auction market, in as much as buying and selling are done through open bid and offer, as distinguished from the OTC or over-the-counter market, where the prices are negotiated.
The attraction of auction markets is that the process allows for quick and swift trading. Auction market data can also be actively accumulated by actively listing items at auction, varying the listing options, and monitoring the same auctions. While most auctions employ the use of one auctioneer, an auction market is an eclectic mix of both buyers and sellers.
An auction market approach to buying and selling shares of stocks also has the distinction of being a time-honored tradition. Long before the advent of any type of electronic technology to support trading, the open auction market was considered the most efficient means of building a solid stock portfolio. Even as modern telephony made it possible to obtain real time information, the concept of an auction market continued to be highly desirable. While online trading has gained a great deal of attention over the last two decades, there is no doubt that the auction market will continue to be the preferred means of trading for many investors.
