Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose.

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction GE $0.520 2.24% 11,453,371 29.02% 13,611,270 34.49% -2,157,899 Abnormal EMC $0.090 0.38% 11,663,611 29.96% 13,223,545 33.97% -1,559,934 Abnormal WFC $0.240 0.64% 5,721,862 24.30% 8,205,437 34.85% -2,483,575 Abnormal ARNA $0.030 0.37% 2,425,318 33.74% 4,263,348 59.31% -1,838,030 Abnormal VOD $0.420 1.48% 5,167,261 39.48% 7,692,874 58.78% -2,525,613 Abnormal SWY $0.280 1.09% 1,168,042 18.39% 3,808,413 59.97% -2,640,371 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday 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 GE with 2,157,899 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.52000. 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.
