     MSFT       $-0.260      -0.88%       25,123,116      54.95%       20,534,898      44.91%       4,588,218       Abnormal

     FTR        $-0.160      -3.58%       33,286,626      59.65%       21,659,337      38.81%       11,627,289      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Friday and their stock prices dropped. 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 PTNR with 4,143,906 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.11000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
