Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     LQD        $0.670       0.62%        649,728         32.48%       1,365,949       68.29%       -716,221        Abnormal
     PBCT       $0.030       0.26%        2,552,515       40.58%       3,734,387       59.37%       -1,181,872      Abnormal
     LYSCF      $0.050       2.96%        928,649         30.62%       2,057,810       67.86%       -1,129,161      Abnormal
     USO        $0.250       0.63%        12,013,658      47.81%       13,217,248      52.59%       -1,203,590      Abnormal
     SD         $0.020       0.19%        6,720,104       42.27%       7,496,012       47.15%       -775,908        Abnormal
     FAZ        $2.130       4.96%        11,750,634      48.32%       12,546,395      51.60%       -795,761        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 LQD with 716,221 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.67000. 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.
