>> Droves? Avg Vol is 13,427,136. Friday Vol was 12,682,700? Help we with the math? << Your math is good enough. I will help with recent history, though. In the selloff during the 10-point drop days, volume was really low, like 3 or 4 M shares. I know because I was short a lot of shares then, and I was watching it closely. We were all puzzled by that. The only explanation was that maybe daytrading had dried up on down days. You can confirm this by looking at a daily chart, and you will see that volume on last week's up days is 3x the previous 2 weeks down days.
