     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     FAZ        $0.200       1.93%        18,201,518      52.74%       16,515,941      47.86%       1,685,577       84,279  
     ACTC       $0.020       14.29%       21,419,772      50.73%       19,267,422      45.64%       2,152,350       1,076,175
     AAPL       $0.340       0.11%        9,418,911       58.06%       6,687,757       41.22%       2,731,154       80,328

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very low price friction in their stocks. 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 CHK with a Net Buy Volume of 1,402,242 shares and a Friction Factor of 28,617 shares. That means that it takes 28,617 more shares of buying than selling to move CHK higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
