     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     NLY        $0.090       0.52%        7,131,304       34.28%       6,193,119       29.77%       938,185         104,243 
     AXPW       $0.075       13.04%       1,073,445       74.42%       344,995         23.92%       728,450         97,127  
     MTG        $0.120       5.48%        3,144,943       44.36%       2,383,950       33.62%       760,993         63,416  
     AAPL       $5.550       1.48%        11,298,554      58.53%       7,976,079       41.32%       3,322,475       5,986   
     RIMM       $0.930       3.09%        12,432,382      51.25%       11,596,686      47.81%       835,696         8,986   
     FNMA       $0.017       5.21%        3,473,939       57.42%       2,377,025       39.29%       1,096,914       660,792 
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 NLY with a Net Buy Volume of 938,185 shares and a Friction Factor of 104,243 shares. That means that it takes 104,243 more shares of buying than selling to move NLY higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Tuesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
