60. Replay: Order Routing, Market Makers, PFOF and Dark Pools Explained

Market MakeHer Podcast

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.

🔮 Replay of Episode 16

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. They explain how orders are processed, the role of market makers in ensuring price equality, and the implications of payment for order flow. The discussion also highlights the importance of understanding these mechanisms to navigate the market effectively and avoid potential pitfalls.
