     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     LTON       $0.080       8.00%        81,445          56.37%       44,941          31.10%       36,504          4,563   
     UTSI       $0.090       6.34%        456,961         75.89%       145,137         24.11%       311,824         34,647  
     FRO        $0.290       5.94%        1,371,387       37.47%       1,066,593       29.14%       304,794         10,510  
     SLXP       $1.880       5.43%        1,068,281       50.40%       1,045,966       49.35%       22,315          119     
     NP         $1.980       11.79%       84,216          30.52%       78,670          28.51%       5,546           28      
     SKUL       $1.090       5.82%        313,485         53.34%       264,903         45.07%       48,582          446     
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 LTON with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.08000 and a Friction Factor of 4,563 shares. That means that it only took 4,563 more shares of buying than selling to move LTON 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.
