>>Barbara is right--the NASDAQ double counts volume--vs. the NYSE >>which counts the buy/sell as one volume--she is correct about the >>true volume being 337,450. ok I thought about buying UHCO just to prove to myself whether its counted twice or not.. But hell I don't want to own that stock again.. SO I did a internet search and came up with an article talking about the different exchanges. But here is a small quote from the article Meanwhile, volume surged on the major markets in 1996, although comparing Nasdaq's volume with that of the Big Board is a tricky matter. That's because on Nasdaq's dealer market, a single trade is frequently counted as one purchase and one sale, while on the Big Board's auction market, the majority of trades are counted as a single transaction. The different methods result in what some consider double-counting of Nasdaq's true trading volume. SO the real volume can be anywhere from 337,450-674,900 ref. interactive3.wsj.com
