When you buy a public offer (PO), you have to wait a significant amount of time to recieve your certificate. This means you have to wait 3-12 months before you can sell the shares you bought. (Shares bought on the floor can be resold in 3-5 days) The benefit is that POs are offered at a discount to the current floor price hence you make more when you sell.

POs are a lot more profitable as long as you are willing to wait a while to receieve and register your certificates.
