Wait, price-makers buy high and sell low? That sounds off.

Price-takers wanting higher bids makes sense.

I disagree, I think price-takers can sell high too.

Price-makers definitely quote higher offers than bids.

I recall that price-takers usually have less control over prices, so maybe C is the one that's not true, but I need to double-check that.

I feel like I might be mixing up the definitions; I thought price-makers always sell high, but now I'm questioning if that's true for all options.

I practiced a similar question where price-takers always accept the market price, so I think D makes sense.

I remember that price-makers set the prices, so I think option B sounds off, but I'm not entirely sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know price-takers sell low and buy high, but I'm not sure if that's the false statement here. I'll have to think it through carefully before selecting an answer.

I'm pretty confident that price-makers buy high and sell low, so that must be the false statement. The other options all seem to accurately describe the behavior of price-makers and price-takers.

Okay, let me think this through. Price-makers quote higher offers than bids, so that can't be the false statement. Price-takers prefer higher bids and lower offers, so that's also true. I'm leaning towards B or C.

Haha, if price-makers bought high and sold low, they'd be out of business in no time. That's not how it works!

Option C seems a bit off to me. Isn't it the other way around for price-takers? They buy high and sell low, right?
DE
