bid size

NISoP, as above. "Size of bid" is the effective definition after the erroneous limitation of the definition to shares, excluding bonds, currency, futures contracts, current commodities, etc. DCDuring (talk) 01:37, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

This must be one of the oldest entries, created in 2003. It is a question of what this term is used for, what about bids at an auction? DonnanZ (talk) 09:39, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

It seems to have been an early reject at WP, transferred here. We've been a dumping ground from the beginning. DCDuring (talk) 14:56, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

• I am not sure deleting this entry will make the dictionary better. The term is in Investopedia[1], investinganswers.com[2], businessdictionary.com[3], thelawdictionary.org[4]. As for sum of parts, how would you know that the size is the number of shares rather than the total price paid for the shares, which is the price per share times number of shares? One source even tells us that "For bond trading, bid size is measured in dollars." If I were collecting an investing glossary, I would probably include the term.
