Anyone know what stock traded the most shares ever in one day on the nasdaq? I found this for NYSE. https://www.reuters.com/article/citigroup-shares-idUSN0527870420090805 Has a stock ever traded >1BB shares in a day. Maybe an OTC or something?
I thought Oracle hit 1B shares in the 1990s and Healthier Choices Management Corp 1 Trillion. Not sure 100%, somebody here knows.
For AAPL that's because of splits (i.e. did not really happen). It regularly happens that a stock (also RegNMS) trades > 1B shares per day...
Nasdaq often double counts volume. Anyway what's the point of knowing? Win a game of Trivial Pursuit from 1990.
I can think of several good reasons for knowing -- Estimating max database requirements to store daily transactions; How many spaces to pad on report columns; Determining how many bits are needed for volume variables when coding, etc.
Trivial Pursuit: Which 4 letters of the alphabet aren't assigned to a stock. IE: A... Agilent, C... Citi, X... US Steel, F... Ford.
