     TXT        $0.640       2.88%        1,654,580       29.42%       3,603,154       64.08%       -1,948,574      Abnormal
     DLM        $0.030       0.16%        2,645,355       34.26%       4,551,630       58.95%       -1,906,275      Abnormal
     CSCO       $0.140       0.73%        37,549,985      46.71%       42,677,508      53.09%       -5,127,523      Abnormal
     ARTG       $0.010       0.13%        2,469,707       24.04%       7,795,501       75.88%       -5,325,794      Abnormal
     STD        $0.690       7.17%        11,823,945      42.59%       13,990,860      50.40%       -2,166,915      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 STD with 2,166,915 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.69000. 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.
