     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BEE        $0.170       3.48%        1,428,789       30.05%       3,092,815       65.05%       -1,664,026      Abnormal
     IRE        $0.230       8.16%        17,137,160      45.04%       19,087,722      50.17%       -1,950,562      Abnormal
     Q          $0.170       2.40%        13,208,777      36.20%       21,421,946      58.71%       -8,213,169      Abnormal
     USB        $0.740       2.93%        8,932,935       41.91%       10,527,838      49.40%       -1,594,903      Abnormal
     FR         $0.210       2.57%        489,256         10.96%       3,895,330       87.23%       -3,406,074      Abnormal
     DELL       $0.040       0.31%        6,962,000       43.19%       9,149,936       56.76%       -2,187,936      Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Thursday 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 DELL with 2,187,936 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.04000. 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.
