TMX Trading volumes down 28% and 20%

[frankman]

Here is the TMX trading data showing declines in volume, transactions, value year on year, month to month, year to date. As I have pointed out in the past lower volumes= lower stock price volatility= stock prices drifting lower as we head to summer doldrums. I consider a junior any stock without production revenue. Note the Venture lower index value as well. I included the TSX data as OLE trades here but declines are still evident.
