tagr Market expands => more liquidity => more competition among market participants => tighter bid-ask spreads
octavianus B is not true. The question refers to CHANGES in liquidity risk, and if do not make a market when a new structure is in its infancy, there is no CHANGE in liquidity for the security because liquidity does not exist at that point in time
