     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     MU         $0.130       1.78%        16,140,410      53.07%       14,177,294      46.62%       1,963,116       151,009 
     DIS        $0.250       0.64%        5,375,885       43.53%       3,129,597       25.34%       2,246,288       89,852  
     NWSA       $0.400       2.61%        74,700,035      50.73%       68,271,280      46.36%       6,428,755       160,719 
     TKMAF      $0.040       0.29%        21,025,000      65.65%       11,000,000      34.35%       10,025,000      2,506,250
     BP         $0.200       0.46%        3,891,891       39.33%       1,916,862       19.37%       1,975,029       98,751

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 MU with a Net Buy Volume of 1,963,116 shares and a Friction Factor of 151,009 shares. That means that it takes 151,009 more shares of buying than selling to move MU higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
