Chuck,
It's not clear to me that the measure of S&P Volume is really
indicitive of anything. Although the answer could / should ? come
out the same doesn't it make more sense to just take total (NYSE /
NASDAQ / AMEX / All of the above ? ) volume and divide by the
corresponding number of issues traded ?
Interestingly enough when doing this for NYSE Volume & Issues and
taking a year long average the factor is about 8.6 to 1 between the
today and the corresponding day in 1985. Close enough I suppose.
