Why Greg went to Kidder first instead of Goldman? Kidder's terms are better after considering all the Avantek shares that T Rowe Price wants to trade It is easier to get a better deal from Kidder than from Goldman because Kidder's bargain power is smaller due to its smaller size Goldman is a larger market maker. It is easier for Goldman to wait than Kidder because Goldman has other trading business. Help Kidder grow bigger so that it can become a long-term competitor of Goldman Sachs. 10 points At the T.
