Anyone out there who has been able to solve the riddle of the inter-
relationship between price and volume?  I am a Wyckoff student--before
that a Don Wordon student.  I have a great file on volume information
but am baffled and confounded by Earl's observation; have been for a
long time.  The Wyckoff explanation just doesn't seem to work in real
time--volume can be very misleading.  I always wanted to believe Joe
Granville's statement that 'price leads volume' but can't get a handle on
how to trade it.  Perhaps the best answer, from someone I respect, was
the idea that I put too much emphasis on volume.  Seems it is so easy
to manipulate volume and the stats are skewed by program trading and
option activity.  Comments?
