     TA         $2.640       30.81%       2,013,665       53.57%       1,491,428       39.68%       522,237         1,978   
     ABMD       $2.120       20.99%       658,391         49.08%       602,550         44.92%       55,841          263     
     ANIK       $1.800       25.00%       227,202         59.27%       152,368         39.75%       74,834          416     
     LMLP       $0.730       21.16%       487,900         63.54%       276,965         36.07%       210,935         2,890   
     DSCI       $2.280       34.18%       294,851         52.03%       251,065         44.30%       43,786          192

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 MGN with a dollar gain Thursday of $0.54000 and a Friction Factor of 1,205 shares. That means that it only took 1,205 more shares of buying than selling to move MGN 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.
