How do I interpret volume?

Low volume is a sign of caution. Price movement associated with low volume may be noise. High volume is a sign of things to come or a confirmatory sign of trend.

High volume with large price movement may indicate continuation of trend. High volume with low price movement may indicate reversal of trend.

How likely is suspension?

I once checked that the suspension rate in SGX is about 3%. This is the possibility that a stock will get suspended in its lifetime. The chance that I will encounter suspension while holding a stock should be much lower as I don't hold it for a lifetime. One way I can avoid getting hit by suspension is to shun small caps.
