Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction MS $0.010 0.06% 4,030,162 23.54% 6,351,160 37.10% -2,320,998 Abnormal T $0.220 0.63% 10,362,529 29.00% 14,343,687 40.14% -3,981,158 Abnormal AES $0.250 2.44% 2,704,507 13.19% 6,858,898 33.44% -4,154,391 Abnormal BBY $0.160 1.27% 2,308,473 17.79% 7,105,270 54.75% -4,796,797 Abnormal AGO $0.030 0.25% 715,071 16.83% 2,974,625 70.03% -2,259,554 Abnormal MACK $0.330 4.80% 772,162 11.26% 3,145,337 45.86% -2,373,175 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Friday and their stock prices rose. The Friction Factor displays how many more shares of buying than selling are required to move a stock higher by one cent or how many more shares of selling than buying moves a stock lower by 1 cent.

For example, the chart above shows MS with 2,320,998 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.01000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
