Trading volume at 5-year low. Don't panic - Aug. 22, 2012
Trading volume hasn't been this low since September 2007, with a daily average of fewer than 3.3 billion shares exchanging hands so far this month. And trading volume is down more than 30%, compared with the average August over the past five years.
What's more, the unusually low volume comes as stocks trade near

conviction, and it's just a matter of time before markets are mired in a
sell-off.
