     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     MU         $0.440       5.82%        25,377,191      54.08%       21,691,598      46.23%       3,685,593       83,763  
     CTL        $0.400       1.05%        6,896,912       63.14%       1,445,718       13.24%       5,451,194       136,280 
     INTC       $0.280       1.23%        25,663,217      54.77%       20,256,281      43.23%       5,406,936       193,105 
     BSBR       $0.150       1.49%        6,917,023       47.81%       3,208,647       22.18%       3,708,376       247,225 
     TKMAF      $0.040       0.29%        21,025,000      65.65%       11,000,000      34.35%       10,025,000      2,506,250
     FTR        $0.060       0.83%        7,509,726       62.08%       1,918,999       15.86%       5,590,727       931,788 
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 3,685,593 shares and a Friction Factor of 83,763 shares. That means that it takes 83,763 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 Friday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
