     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     KNKT       $0.220       18.18%       3,164,450       77.37%       884,060         21.62%       2,280,390       103,654 
     CRUS       $3.180       17.75%       9,371,264       54.26%       7,858,726       45.51%       1,512,538       4,756   
     BERK       $1.340       21.07%       65,723          53.34%       53,997          43.82%       11,726          88      
     MSHL       $0.500       18.80%       114,575         62.49%       68,764          37.51%       45,811          916     
     BSET       $1.870       41.10%       222,355         63.44%       128,065         36.54%       94,290          504     
     ACAT       $2.410       17.57%       303,737         58.23%       212,685         40.77%       91,052          378     

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 ACAT with a dollar gain Thursday of $2.41000 and a Friction Factor of 378 shares. That means that it only took 378 more shares of buying than selling to move ACAT 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.
