Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BSX        $0.210       3.12%        10,832,792      26.89%       11,481,516      28.50%       -648,724        Abnormal
     CMED       $0.870       10.77%       981,020         38.93%       1,533,409       60.86%       -552,389        Abnormal
     SMOD       $0.010       0.11%        544,129         32.72%       1,119,047       67.28%       -574,918        Abnormal
     ITUB       $0.180       0.80%        4,415,602       20.12%       6,300,593       28.71%       -1,884,991      Abnormal
     POTG       $0.165       149.55%      14,455,227      42.29%       18,315,184      53.58%       -3,859,957      Abnormal
     P          $17.470      0.00%        8,761,378       20.82%       10,011,569      23.79%       -1,250,191      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday 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 BSX with 648,724 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.21000. 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.
