Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Wednesday and low price friction (bullish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ATHX       $0.320       11.90%       315,410         61.41%       198,186         38.59%       117,224         3,663   
     EFOI       $0.160       14.94%       279,105         56.88%       211,572         43.12%       67,533          4,221   
     MSHL       $0.150       12.50%       47,151          64.67%       25,059          34.37%       22,092          1,473   
     CIMT       $0.780       21.49%       245,810         50.77%       237,768         49.11%       8,042           103     
     ICGN       $0.750       33.04%       3,030,029       51.76%       2,816,226       48.11%       213,803         2,851   
     ONSM       $0.160       14.81%       199,558         57.62%       146,770         42.38%       52,788          3,299   

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 ONSM with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.16000 and a Friction Factor of 3,299 shares. That means that it only took 3,299 more shares of buying than selling to move ONSM 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.
