Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose. ISHARES FTSE CHINA 25 INDEX (NYSE:FXI), SPDR S&P 500 ETF TRUST (NYSE:SPY), EPICOR SOFTWARE CORP (NASDAQ:EPIC), CHIMERA INVESTMENT CORP (NYSE:CIM), SPDR GOLD TRUST (NYSE:GLD), NEWS CORP-CL A (NASDAQ:NWSA).

     FXI        $0.840       1.85%        8,391,248       44.18%       13,614,419      71.68%       -5,223,171      Abnormal
     SPY        $0.260       0.20%        48,008,504      47.70%       54,057,151      53.71%       -6,048,647      Abnormal
     EPIC       $1.320       11.74%       5,095,469       41.38%       7,117,013       57.80%       -2,021,544      Abnormal
     CIM        $0.020       0.51%        19,527,066      44.00%       21,755,877      49.03%       -2,228,811      Abnormal
     GLD        $0.680       0.49%        3,493,314       36.13%       6,274,424       64.89%       -2,781,110      Abnormal
     NWSA       $0.040       0.22%        5,395,579       36.15%       9,492,304       63.59%       -4,096,725      Abnormal

For example, the chart above shows FXI with 5,223,171 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.84000. 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.
