2nd quietest volume day of the year

By Peter Boockvar - October 12th, 2009, 4:00PM

While the market has come off its intraday highs, it didn’t take much as volume is running at the slowest pace since Jan 2nd, the Friday after New Years Day. With earnings reports upon us in earnest beginning tomorrow, the stock market becomes a different place in that it more discriminates between those that deliver and those that don’t and the game of ‘US$ down, buy stocks’ may not be as simple.

You mean stocks are related to earnings in some way? Sheesh…

Maybe the big guys are throttling back on HFT because the SEC is looking into it?
