     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     SIRI       $0.010       0.55%        9,261,489       47.92%       10,106,842      52.29%       -845,353        Abnormal
     HMC        $0.590       1.97%        678,824         11.32%       5,149,548       85.84%       -4,470,724      Abnormal
     HPQ        $0.190       0.75%        3,309,536       29.01%       4,143,597       36.32%       -834,061        Abnormal
     RIMM       $0.170       1.19%        7,458,091       46.58%       8,421,494       52.59%       -963,403        Abnormal

     ZNGA       $0.040       0.43%        1,529,843       22.21%       5,355,995       77.75%       -3,826,152      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Friday 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 SIRI with 845,353 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.01000. 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.
