I am sure that the "stock price" is actually floating somewhere between these two numbers. Those sort of act as the "i would buy them at" or "i would sell them at" prices that market makers are offering. They numbers often represent limit orders that are sitting and waiting to "trigger" at those prices.
Bid brackets means stock availability, so 584
Ask bracket, although uncommonly used, is the odds of you dying within 5 minutes of buying the stock.
I was looking some statistics from a certain stock.
It showed:
Bid 2,728.000(584)
Ask 2,731.000(1,869)
I was wondering what does the number after the bid and ask price mean also what does the numbers in the brackets mean.
