Abstract:

The relationship between the trading volume and changes in expected return is investigated in this
research. Daily and weekly data are used to examine if trading volumes have predictive power for stock
prices in the following days/weeks. Results suggested that stocks experiencing extreme higher (low)
volumes are usually followed by relatively higher (low) returns for large firms in Australian market only
for a short horizon. However, the volume-return premium cannot be found for small firms during the
same time period. Possible explanations for this high volume return premium include: return
autocorrelation, systematic risk and outliers.
