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. US NATURAL GAS FUND LP (NYSE:UNG), ATMEL CORP (NASDAQ:ATML), INTEL CORP (NASDAQ:INTC), LOWE'S COS INC (NYSE:LOW), NOKIA CORP-SPON ADR (NYSE:NOK), ISHARES RUSSELL 2000 (NYSE:IWM).

IWM $0.080 0.10% 17,809,175 46.80% 19,553,889 51.39% -1,744,714 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 IWM with 1,744,714 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.08000. 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.
