     CLWT       $1.670       45.01%       52,865          50.93%       43,888          42.28%       8,977           54      
     CISG       $1.740       24.89%       546,006         55.27%       433,766         43.90%       112,240         645

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 EGHT with a dollar gain Thursday of $0.85000 and a Friction Factor of 2,170 shares. That means that it only took 2,170 more shares of buying than selling to move EGHT 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.
