Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BAC        $0.150       1.41%        60,017,644      28.83%       61,257,578      29.43%       -1,239,934      Abnormal
     DRYS       $0.050       1.35%        5,637,871       45.77%       6,675,672       54.20%       -1,037,801      Abnormal
     CIEN       $0.180       0.94%        4,330,542       46.01%       5,036,371       53.51%       -705,829        Abnormal
     RDN        $0.040       1.12%        1,444,486       25.16%       2,082,678       36.27%       -638,192        Abnormal
     VRGY       $1.460       10.82%       18,772,476      43.38%       23,997,553      55.46%       -5,225,077      Abnormal
     RAMPF      $0.041       8.87%        87,200          8.68%        904,675         90.05%       -817,475        Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Friday 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 BAC with 1,239,934 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.15000. 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.
