Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     AVT        $0.010       0.04%        1,232,265       20.41%       1,661,979       27.53%       -429,714        Abnormal
     MBI        $0.040       0.62%        2,039,875       29.73%       2,589,399       37.74%       -549,524        Abnormal
     ATML       $0.060       0.65%        9,835,301       44.37%       12,302,091      55.50%       -2,466,790      Abnormal
     WFR        $0.210       3.54%        5,698,221       27.13%       6,994,676       33.30%       -1,296,455      Abnormal
     LLNW       $0.100       4.81%        3,468,714       46.54%       3,981,059       53.42%       -512,345        Abnormal
     PAET       $0.050       1.03%        3,178,614       44.66%       3,631,144       51.02%       -452,530        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 AVT with 429,714 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.01000. 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.
