Wide prices. Prices that are not near together; that are wide apart. The term applies when a bid
and an asked price are separated by i or 2 per cent or more instead of by a fraction, as, for
instance, 100 bid and 105 asked. Again, the term applies to fluctuations in a stock or a commodity
in which the fluctuations are large (wide). The term also applies when transactions occur
simultaneously in a stock or a commodity at prices wide apart (widely separated).
