  1. Yes, I understand what volume mean. Thanks. I am referring to the number they are talking about. What is the number? What exchange? Volume is a very important metric and drives metrics like the VIX and show the flow of money. I would say it is pretty important. Understanding that CNBC has what seems to be a long bias when they talk is irrelevant to what I am asking.
  2. Tams, Over the last week or so, you may or may not have noticed that CNBC has referenced "low volume" several times a day in regards to their market updates. Mostly Bob Pisani would bring this up. I am not too sure of what number he is looking at as that is a very general comment to make. I assume he is talking about the NYSE volume only? A lot of time, they will never talk about volume when it is high. This is usually trumped by movement in the VIX as a market head line. On any note, here are a couple links to articles this week that yet again says the same thing without reference what volume they are talking about. There were definitely a few more that I remember reading, but you will get the idea of what I am talking about.

  3. Does anyone know what exactly people are referencing when they talk about "market volume"? is there a specific index that they look at? or do they look at the exchange as a whole? Where exactly can you get volume data for the markets?
