  Side A   Side B
1
To evaluate the quality of a market, one should examine its 
 
liquidity, transparency, and assurity of completion.
2
A liquid market has 
 
small bid-ask spreads, market depth, and resilience. 
3
If a market has small spreads, traders are apt to 
 
trade more often. 
4
Market depth allows larger orders to trade without 
 
affecting security prices. 
5
A market is resilient if asset prices 
 
stay close to their intrinsic values, and deviations from intrinsic value are quickly minimized.
6
In a transparent market, investors can easily and quickly obtain 
 
pre-trade and post-trade information. 
7
If a market is not transparent, investors 
 
lose faith in the market and decrease their trading activities.
8
When markets have assurity of completion, investors can be confident that
 
the counterparty will uphold their side of the trade agreement. 
9
To facilitate this, brokers and clearing bodies may provide 
 
guarantees to both sides of the trade.
