     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     GE         $0.430       2.65%        16,724,243      25.93%       18,439,789      28.59%       -1,715,546      Abnormal
     NWS        $0.260       1.54%        3,000,728       37.83%       4,929,620       62.15%       -1,928,892      Abnormal
     CSCO       $0.280       1.63%        20,683,308      47.34%       22,842,205      52.28%       -2,158,897      Abnormal
     JPM        $1.830       5.90%        16,981,161      26.97%       19,016,484      30.20%       -2,035,323      Abnormal
     ALU        $0.090       3.16%        6,767,596       21.07%       8,299,568       25.84%       -1,531,972      Abnormal
     QQQ        $0.810       1.41%        36,358,209      44.29%       39,095,714      47.63%       -2,737,505      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Tuesday 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 GE with 1,715,546 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.43000. 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.
