Other factors that move equity volume down:
1. Flight of US investment overseas
2. End of the great big projects, bridges, highways, power plants. Need is drying up.
3. End of innovation, aside from iPads and Facebook, is anything new coming out? Go to best buy, its the same old stuff. Microsoft is out of good ideas to steel and intel is just stuffing more cores into the same 3GHz chip they made 10 years ago. Drug companies are out of home runs and biotech is a bust.
4. Baby boomers spending their money that previously was invested - its all going to healthcare and vacations.
5. Money that evaporated in the housing bubble is gone forever, since it was just made up money by banks.
6. The commodity bubble Gold, currencies etc. we buy stuff not companies.
7. We are finally driving less, moving to retire in the burbs and get by with one 4cyld car per household. Young drivers are starting later due to fuel and insurance costs.
7. The large institutions playing synthetic instruments like futures, CDOs and Options. Who is left to buy IBM stock.
8. Tighter credit from banks under new rules.
9. Fake Volumes 1990 - 2005 were way high compared to the pre1990 volume, some of the HFT are shutting down.
