     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     JBLU       $0.240       6.55%        14,478,217      70.21%       6,003,001       29.11%       8,475,216       353,134 
     LOW        $0.940       4.02%        9,615,882       36.41%       7,660,255       29.01%       1,955,627       20,805  
     MU         $0.030       0.46%        10,903,970      53.53%       9,397,961       46.14%       1,506,009       502,003 
     CX         $0.200       4.85%        6,293,439       34.86%       4,845,060       26.84%       1,448,379       72,419  
     YHOO       $0.380       2.46%        15,481,767      53.24%       13,525,420      46.51%       1,956,347       51,483  
     YOKU       $0.700       4.15%        3,324,441       60.95%       649,729         11.91%       2,674,712       38,210  
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 JBLU with a Net Buy Volume of 8,475,216 shares and a Friction Factor of 353,134 shares. That means that it takes 353,134 more shares of buying than selling to move JBLU higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Tuesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
