Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     VITA       $0.510       23.94%       123,601         56.81%       93,959          43.19%       29,642          581     
     MCZ        $0.240       19.83%       4,904,726       46.09%       4,340,300       40.78%       564,426         23,518  
     SCON       $0.630       23.86%       2,589,396       59.44%       1,763,488       40.48%       825,908         13,110  
     GWAY       $1.630       56.79%       275,830         17.15%       272,988         16.97%       2,842           17      
     IPGP       $12.750      36.69%       1,196,046       50.62%       1,130,975       47.87%       65,071          51      
     ECTE       $1.310       38.64%       789,170         57.15%       578,310         41.88%       210,860         1,610   

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 ECTE with a dollar gain Thursday of $1.31000 and a Friction Factor of 1,610 shares. That means that it only took 1,610 more shares of buying than selling to move ECTE 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.
