     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ENER       $0.180       22.50%       1,595,451       60.63%       1,027,237       39.04%       568,214         31,567  
     TIBX       $0.360       1.71%        2,758,159       57.75%       2,006,275       42.01%       751,884         20,886  
     SIRI       $0.030       1.69%        39,854,818      54.70%       35,754,456      49.07%       4,100,362       1,366,787
     NTAP       $0.490       1.39%        5,701,250       49.18%       4,925,758       42.49%       775,492         15,826

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 ENER with a Net Buy Volume of 568,214 shares and a Friction Factor of 31,567 shares. That means that it takes 31,567 more shares of buying than selling to move ENER 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.
