Talk:Volume (finance)

Unit of measure shares or dollars?
The article defines "volume" for a stock as being the number of shares traded. Yet it seems that, in some contexts, "volume" may mean the total money paid -- that is, the number of shares bought multiplied by the price paid per share, in some specific currency, added over all trades in a specified interval. This quantity seems to be the one that makes sense when considering all the stocks traded at one exchange, or some specific subset (e.g. electronics industries). --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 20:56, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
