TeachMeFinance.com Active Market -- Market where there is a very large amount of transactions in goods, bonds and stocks . Typically there is less divergence between bid and asked prices in an active market than in a subdued or quiet market. An active market also holds when there is generally heavy trading on the exchange. Such a market allows for trading in big volumes of shares without influence on the direction of prices. Hence institutions managing the portfolios of clients favor an active market. About the author Mark McCracken Author: Mark McCracken is a corporate trainer and author living in Higashi Osaka, Japan.
