We don’t post a lot about stocks, but here’s one for all the traders out there. The U of Maryland developed a nifty way to measure market volume surrounding the trading in popular stocks. Whats interesting about this new method is that whole securities market is displayed visually using a series of blocks broken out by industry, where stocks that have greater volumes take up more space in the graph.
The great thing about the map is, its super easy to see which stocks are gaining price on heavy volume. This could be useful for momentum traders or people who want to efficiently search the market for popular issues.
Its kinda complicated to explain verbally, but once you take a look at the map, you’ll see what I mean.

DINKS (Dual Income No Kids) Finance is a blog discussing personal finance for couples. While by no means financial experts, we own a variety of assets including real estate and stocks. We've both been up to our eyeballs in debt and have made tons of financial mistakes. However, we've both successfully retired that debt and we both do learn from our failings. We hope that our voice in this blog can help others in achieving their goals!
