A thinly traded stock is one that has a low traded volume and/or wide bid–ask spread and therefore cannot be easily bought or sold without significant change in price.
Peter was considering buying shares of the ThinAir travel company, but he changed his mind after finding out it is a thinly traded stock with only 2,468 shares changing hands in the past week.
A thinly traded stock (or other security) is characterized by a very small number of interested buyers and/or sellers, which means that the bid–ask spread is wide. Since for every buyer there must be a seller and vice versa, it is typically difficult to buy or sell a stock traded in low volumes. The thinly traded stock is, therefore, illiquid and thus bears a high level of liquidity risk. Its share price may also be highly volatile, which means that any transaction of substantial size goes hand in hand with significant change in price. Such stocks or other securities typically (but not always) are traded in over-the-counter markets. A thinly traded stock might be suitable as a long-term investment, but it is not recommended for active trading or speculating.
Tence obchodovaná akcie je taková akcie, se kterou se obchoduje v malém objemu a/nebo která má velký rozptyl nabídky a poptávky, tím pádem ji nelze snadno prodat či koupit, aniž by se výrazně změnila její cena.
Peter zvažoval nákup akcií letecké společnosti ThinAir, ale když zjistil, že jde o tence obchodované akcie a za uplynulý týden změnilo majitele jen 2 468 akcií, rozmyslel si to.
Tence obchodovaná akcie (nebo jiný cenný papír) se vyznačuje omezeným množstvím zájemců o nákup a/nebo prodej, což znamená že rozptyl poptávky a nabídky je velký. Protože na každého nakupujícího musí připadnout prodávající a naopak, akcie obchodované v malém objemu je obvykle těžké koupit či prodat. Tence obchodovaná akcie je tudíž ilikvidní, a jako taková s sebou nese vysokou míru rizika likvidity. Cena akcie může také být velmi volatilní a to znamená, že každá větší transakce jde ruku v ruce s výraznou změnou ceny. S takovými akciemi nebo jinými cennými papíry se obvykle (ale ne vždy) obchoduje na mimoburzovních trzích. Tence obchodovaná akcie může sloužit jako vhodná dlouhodobá investice, ale nedoporučuje se pro aktivní obchodování a spekulace.
