If an asset is a “buy” then why does the order book have sellers?
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Who are the sellers? Market makers? People who don’t believe it’s a buy? Why should I believe something is a good buy if there are so many people selling?</p> <p>I’m guessing that the sellers comprise two main groups: 1) market makers and 2) people who have already had a sizeable return and are trying to cash out.</p> <p>Otherwise, I can’t imagine why there would be any sellers. Curious to hear all of your thoughts.
