On Tuesday there were 3560 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4305 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1695 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Tuesday and low price friction (bullish).

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     TOBC       $6.430       31.57%       777,783         50.23%       745,990         48.18%       31,793          49      
     WAVX       $0.530       21.54%       674,682         55.09%       549,751         44.89%       124,931         2,357   
     PIP        $0.790       32.78%       963,385         36.38%       758,889         28.66%       204,496         2,589   
     CTFO       $0.550       22.45%       166,208         50.16%       165,119         49.84%       1,089           20      
     HEAT       $0.280       25.23%       767,918         61.28%       485,135         38.72%       282,783         10,099  
     GFRE       $0.630       21.80%       874,683         64.31%       472,461         34.74%       402,222         6,384   
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 TOBC with a dollar gain Tuesday of $6.43000 and a Friction Factor of 49 shares. That means that it only took 49 more shares of buying than selling to move TOBC 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.
