Bargain - A term used on the London Stock Exchange to describe a share purchase or sale. The term does not imply that the transaction was a "special price" in the normal sense of the word.Note that the LSE collates its information on bargains from brokers" contract notes which means that it reports a single transaction as two bargains (one buy and one sell). The significance of this is that other exchanges often report a transaction as a single bargain, so if you were ever comparing the number of bargains of exchanges, the LSE figures would need to be divided by two.
