Does the volume affect the value (gain / loss)? What is a good source for stocks to invest in?

Volume does not affect your gain or loss. It is used as a technical indicator - you want to see a stock going up on increasing volume (not decreasing volume). Value Line is an excellent source for stock data. It should be available in your public library (or you can order your own copy for about $500/yr). They do not cover every stock, but if they don't cover it you probably don't want to buy it.
