- The high/low/last for NASDAQ wwould list ask prices.. You would
- sell at bid which is a bit below those prices. So if low ask was
- 1 3/4 it is very reasonable that bid was 1 1/4.

- By the way, would you buy a used watch from a guy on the street
- corner saying this is a great watch and will go upo in value this
- year?
