     S          $0.020       0.92%        11,289,458      44.29%       9,334,904       36.62%       1,954,554       977,277 
     ORCL       $0.120       0.42%        14,482,896      55.70%       10,886,948      41.87%       3,595,948       299,662 
     NWSA       $0.030       0.16%        7,848,329       58.18%       5,214,298       38.65%       2,634,031       878,010 
     ATRN       $0.015       31.67%       26,754,902      51.96%       24,572,116      47.72%       2,182,786       1,436,043

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 S with a Net Buy Volume of 1,954,554 shares and a Friction Factor of 977,277 shares. That means that it takes 977,277 more shares of buying than selling to move S higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Friday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
