Lemons Problem

The problem of asymmetric information in investing. In most investments, the buyer takes a risk that the seller is trying to sell because he/she knows that the investment is a lemon, that is, a nearly guaranteed loss. To compensate for the lemons problem, many buyers offer prices lower than they otherwise would in a perfectly symmetrical market.
