Poll: When will volume come back?

Quote from colonial dr:

Volatility is unlikely with scopious low volume

really? we could open down 300 tomorrow on almost no volume if the right news came out.

Last August was an anomaly. This seems more like normal late-summer trading, with people on vacation and not much going on in the news. Volatility will come back this fall, I have little doubt. Maybe by mid-September if we're lucky.

Yes, similar comments are seen in many summers.

Volatility cycles.

None of the above. The retail trader/investor is gone. Now just machines trading against each other.

+1

90% of the volume is HFT rebate boxes, 5% is predatory algo's manipulating stop orders, the rest is hedge funds positioning and dumb buy and hold mutual funds and retail orders getting filled at the top of artificial moves.

Isn't the volume typically low this time of year?

You are not a real trader. You don't watch volume. You don't know what the SP did today, and you don't know how light things are or why. I have had you on ignore, but when I log off I see your posts again.

Keep on posting. 1999. Wow. Mark Zuckerberg got far in less time.
