Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     CHK        $0.270       1.14%        4,545,781       30.67%       5,833,452       39.36%       -1,287,671      Abnormal
     PFE        $0.060       0.26%        7,781,983       26.29%       10,817,435      36.54%       -3,035,452      Abnormal
     GE         $0.130       0.70%        15,181,092      30.47%       16,935,207      33.99%       -1,754,115      Abnormal
     GKK        $0.130       5.53%        115,557         5.99%        1,694,795       87.82%       -1,579,238      Abnormal
     LCC        $0.140       2.56%        2,303,986       28.18%       3,637,299       44.48%       -1,333,313      Abnormal
     ORCL       $0.260       0.99%        26,417,624      47.61%       29,031,670      52.32%       -2,614,046      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 CHK with 1,287,671 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.27000. 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.
