    Default What does the volume indicator mean in the yahoo finance chart?

    Under the technical indicator on the top blue bar, there is an option to display the volume. It states that the volume is:

    "Volume is the number of shares traded in a security during a given period of time."

    What does this exactly mean? Does this refer to the number of shares sold or bought during that day?

    yea I dont get it either .... What does the volume refer to?
    It says the number of shares traded.... does this mean the numbers of shares that were sold (selling a stock) ... therefore, they are dumping the shares OR the amount of shares that are being bought (more shares are being purchased from traders)????
