     YHOO       $0.180       1.14%        12,711,123      56.59%       8,752,029       38.96%       3,959,094       219,950 
     ATRN       $0.040       35.52%       11,444,477      57.68%       8,394,806       42.31%       3,049,671       760,516

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 XLY with a Net Buy Volume of 2,248,341 shares and a Friction Factor of 118,334 shares. That means that it takes 118,334 more shares of buying than selling to move XLY higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Thursday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
