Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     IYR        $0.930       1.52%        2,127,594       19.52%       4,295,829       39.42%       -2,168,235      Abnormal
     VWO        $0.470       0.96%        5,332,758       22.55%       7,239,457       30.62%       -1,906,699      Abnormal
     SPY        $1.150       0.85%        27,367,722      23.80%       33,712,549      29.32%       -6,344,827      Abnormal
     BAC        $0.110       0.90%        26,424,417      29.43%       29,959,558      33.37%       -3,535,141      Abnormal
     GE         $0.240       1.19%        9,901,348       26.35%       13,567,067      36.10%       -3,665,719      Abnormal
     VSH        $0.820       4.85%        7,653,457       39.57%       10,359,390      53.56%       -2,705,933      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Tuesday 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 IYR with 2,168,235 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.93000. 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.
