DATALINK CORP (NASDAQ:DTLK), NEPTUNE TECH & BIORESSOURCES (NASDAQ:NEPT), IXYS CORPORATION (NASDAQ:IXYS), VALLEY FORGE COMPOSITE TECHN (OTCBB:VLYF), TRAVELZOO INC (NASDAQ:TZOO), TOREADOR RESOURCES CORP (NASDAQ:TRGL).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     DTLK       $1.260       20.22%       864,302         52.31%       775,087         46.91%       89,215          708     
     NEPT       $0.700       23.89%       1,175,441       56.79%       883,196         42.67%       292,245         4,175   
     IXYS       $2.350       19.01%       310,651         52.45%       278,403         47.00%       32,248          137     
     VLYF       $0.240       22.64%       65,290          60.67%       42,325          39.33%       22,965          957     
     TZOO       $19.910      26.95%       1,820,049       50.11%       1,726,292       47.53%       93,757          47      
     TRGL       $1.590       22.02%       1,312,706       50.70%       1,258,589       48.61%       54,117          340     
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 DTLK with a dollar gain Thursday of $1.26000 and a Friction Factor of 708 shares. That means that it only took 708 more shares of buying than selling to move DTLK 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.
