I heard a statistic on Bloomberg's morning TV show recently that surprised me. If I heard correctly, they said an estimated 15% of NASDAQ volume was generated by approximately 5,000 active daytraders. If that's the case (perhaps I got it wrong), then on a billion share day the 5,000 would trade on average about 30,000 shares apiece. It's understandable how an issue like APLX, if caught up in such a whirlwind, could trade the kind of volumes seen today. JMHO.
