obvious differences
1. Totl. Companies no longer trading 1948
2. Number of Trades daily went from an avg of 2 mill 400k
to over 8 million, and 8 million is below avg for the year 09 to date.....
why cant the market systems serve themselves with the market going up?
They can and have, the duration determined ultimately by available supply.....
more trading, fewer companies, less market float reduces to contrivance. with prices being adjudicated by factors other than owners of stock transacting shares in a free market.
my opinion about direction is from market characterization studies...just an opinion, cast within a framework....that includes the above data.
add in this sample company data
sample;
Company Details
Total Shares Out Standing (millions): 28
Market Capitalization ($ millions): $524
Institutional Ownership: 107.5%

many more millions than 28 are registered and trading.... |
