Liquidity and the importance

[Lingcod]

Having liquidity in a stock is very important. A stock is considered liquid when its shares can be bought—and sold—quickly with minimal impact on its market price. Large cap stocks are generally liquid
However, a stock that is not liquid, such as a small cap stock, can be thought of as illiquid if it cannot be sold quickly with minimal impact on its market price...


With taat global, we have a stock that is not liquid, with very small amounts of shares traded. And the bid/ask can go on for hours as it does regularily. So the investment then becomes "risk on" if one takes a position in a stock with little volumes. 

The other risk as volume decreases is the bid/ask becomes greater. On the CSE you have taat bid tommorrow at 18.5 cents, while the ask is 20 cents. What will happen ? Anyones guess, however because of lack of liquidity, you may not be able to sell for what you want, or even buy for what you want, as there is no liquidity. 

Thus, one has to make an informed decison on the illiquid stock, based on evidence before them, such as revenues/profits/lack of profits/money in bank/no money at all, and various facts. 
Once an analysis has been done, one makes that decision.
Regarding taat, my analysis is not favorable. Another may disagree, that is their choice based on their perceptions.
