Make A Market
An action whereby a dealer stands by ready, willing and able to buy or sell a particular security at the quoted bid and ask price. Investopedia Says:
By being able to make a market allows the brokerage to fill customer orders out of the brokerage inventory, which is faster and easier than filling orders from other brokerages or investors. Related Terms:
