     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     UCBI       $0.200       14.81%       781,739         63.59%       448,443         36.48%       333,296         16,665  
     AXK        $1.330       49.81%       490,842         54.65%       398,617         44.38%       92,225          693     
     PANL       $7.280       19.07%       1,695,519       53.26%       1,463,006       45.95%       232,513         319     
     EEI        $3.580       23.68%       102,427         59.25%       61,640          35.66%       40,787          114

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 UCBI with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.20000 and a Friction Factor of 16,665 shares. That means that it only took 16,665 more shares of buying than selling to move UCBI 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.
