     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     TSTF       $0.410       30.83%       57,795          67.73%       27,533          32.27%       30,262          738     
     COCO       $0.280       20.59%       1,115,620       50.10%       1,113,213       49.99%       2,407           86      
     FRZ        $0.280       30.42%       49,195          48.27%       26,350          25.86%       22,845          816     
     CAST       $0.630       25.51%       418,035         54.33%       349,323         45.40%       68,712          1,091   
     NEWN       $0.310       22.79%       133,639         46.21%       65,809          22.76%       67,830          2,188   
     IACAF      $0.357       26.94%       117,900         58.63%       82,200          40.88%       35,700          1,000   
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 TSTF with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.41000 and a Friction Factor of 738 shares. That means that it only took 738 more shares of buying than selling to move TSTF higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
