     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ELOS       $2.420       20.72%       1,033,495       55.42%       821,230         44.04%       212,265         877     
     ONSM       $0.280       25.93%       308,418         50.96%       294,407         48.64%       14,011          500     
     THLD       $1.000       57.14%       4,289,022       52.25%       3,797,013       46.26%       492,009         4,920   
     PTN        $0.150       14.71%       126,874         66.13%       64,982          33.87%       61,892          4,126   
     CYAN       $1.030       39.31%       486,095         49.92%       484,234         49.72%       1,861           18      
     LZB        $2.380       28.74%       2,792,009       48.77%       2,496,587       43.61%       295,422         1,241   

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 LZB with a dollar gain Wednesday of $2.38000 and a Friction Factor of 1,241 shares. That means that it only took 1,241 more shares of buying than selling to move LZB 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.
