Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     EEM        $0.050       0.11%        22,706,627      47.70%       24,659,436      51.80%       -1,952,809      Abnormal
     BSX        $0.150       1.97%        12,627,236      40.53%       14,436,890      46.34%       -1,809,654      Abnormal
     HMA        $0.340       3.27%        3,207,488       37.45%       4,539,585       53.00%       -1,332,097      Abnormal
     EWJ        $0.030       0.27%        9,908,521       41.59%       13,913,147      58.40%       -4,004,626      Abnormal
     RF         $0.050       0.65%        7,928,124       38.14%       9,419,822       45.31%       -1,491,698      Abnormal
     CXLT       $0.090       13.02%       16,290,794      46.58%       18,051,343      51.61%       -1,760,549      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday and their stock prices rose. 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 EEM with 1,952,809 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.05000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
