Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     PFE        $0.200       1.03%        8,332,856       22.10%       11,385,900      30.20%       -3,053,044      Abnormal
     GE         $0.230       1.44%        10,709,790      22.36%       17,088,692      35.68%       -6,378,902      Abnormal
     MSFT       $0.020       0.08%        22,459,555      42.10%       35,063,963      65.73%       -12,604,408     Abnormal
     F          $0.070       0.63%        15,098,781      28.66%       18,252,666      34.65%       -3,153,885      Abnormal
     BX         $0.310       2.25%        696,739         10.89%       4,759,521       74.40%       -4,062,782      Abnormal
     QQQ        $0.580       1.03%        28,630,026      44.22%       33,429,084      51.63%       -4,799,058      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 PFE with 3,053,044 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.20000. 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.
