On Wall Street, "buy side" refers to firms that invest money or 'buy' securities and "sell side" refers to the investment banks that provide the buy side firms with products and services such as initial public offerings (IPO's), secondary offerings, trading, research, conferences, etc. The "sell side" firms are 'selling' IPO's and services to the buy side firms.

Pecking order theory suggests that firms prefer internal financing over external financing due to asymmetric information, leading them to rely on retained earnings first, followed by debt and finally equity.
