     IEF        $0.360       0.38%        486,150         29.44%       1,165,288       70.56%       -679,138        Abnormal
     VICL       $0.020       0.84%        287,141         17.43%       1,360,325       82.57%       -1,073,184      Abnormal

     BWEN       $0.230       18.04%       3,125,366       43.92%       3,988,798       56.05%       -863,432        Abnormal

For example, the chart above shows IEF with 679,138 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.36000. 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.
