Since we recently learned about Stock Lending, Short Selling, P/E Ratio, and Stock Valuation in the last 2 episodes, we figured it's a good time to revisit our episode on Dark Pools, PFOF, Order Routing, and Market Makers (not to be confused with Market MakeHERS 😉). This also happens to be a Halloween episode from last year, so enjoy our costumes if you're watching the video podcast. 🎃🎃🎃

In this episode, Jess Inskip & Jessie DeNuit delve into the complexities of the stock market, focusing on key concepts such as market makers, the bid-ask spread, and dark pools.
