I used to watch the SMH to help me judge volume during any particular day. Volume there is anemic at best so far today but it has just plain fallen a lot over the last few years. There are so many ETF's that attract potential investment dollars versus individual stocks anymore. My point is that just watching this today I don't think we will see meaningful enough volume for a 90% upside day to actually mean we have a bottom in place. That's if we get a 90% upside day. If I recall correctly as we attempted to bottom in 2009 there were actually several 90% upside days that failed to mark the true and final bottom. I have already linked to the day it actually did happen last week in a previous post. Six billion shares of 90% upside volume today for the S&P 500? That would be a lot to ask and we won't know if it does until an hour or so after the close unless someone has a better source to track the data than I do? Thanks for the update Sam! RtS
