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. Examples of buy side firms would be large mutual fund companies like Fidelity or T Rowe Price. Examples of sell side firms would be investment banks like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, etc. Most of the large investment banks also have small buy side operations that are run separately from the larger sell side. For example, you can buy a mutual fund from Morgan Stanley or Merrill Lynch, but this isn't where these firms make most of their money.

Why the demand curve faced by a perfectly competitive firm is horizontal?
The firm at perfect competition faces more than one competitor. All the firms are price taker and they take the market price as given. If one firm wants to sell its output at a pricehigher than the market price, it will sell nothing as buyers will go to the firm offering lower market price. If one firm wants to sell its output at a lower price, it will take the whole market demand for it. At the market price, determined by interactions between sellers, the firms will sell whatever output it wants. So, the firms determine the price and each firm determines its output. So the demand curve will be horizontal.
