     LCRY       $1.540       15.65%       346,727         50.70%       331,139         48.42%       15,588          101     
     GKK        $0.450       19.48%       1,258,615       54.46%       833,169         36.05%       425,446         9,454

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 LNG with a dollar gain Monday of $0.96000 and a Friction Factor of 5,753 shares. That means that it only took 5,753 more shares of buying than selling to move LNG higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
