Lack Of Interest In US Equities

Chart of SP500.

Sometimes numbers are more 'telling'.

1. The Flash Crash happened on 6 May 2010. Volume on that day is 10,617,809,600.

2. Average traded volume for 2010 is 5,090,658,997.

3. The recent traded volume..

9-Jul-10 ... 3,506,570,000
8-Jul-10 ... 4,548,460,000
7-Jul-10 ... 4,931,220,000
6-Jul-10 ... 4,691,240,000
2-Jul-10 ... 3,968,500,000

Again the volume shows utter lack of interest in the equities.
