Matched bargain - A system of share trading which relies on matching sale orders with corresponding orders to buy. Because there needs to be a buyer for every seller, and vice versa, the marketability of shares which are traded on a matched bargain basis can be poor. In other words, you may not be able to buy when you want to buy, and if you own shares you may not be able to sell when you want to sell. This is known as illiquidity, and is a very negative attribute.Shares traded on the London Stock Exchange are more liquid because they are traded either on the order book (SETS for the very largest companies) or on the quote book (SEAQ).
