     F          $0.010       0.05%        13,071,672      30.55%       14,631,795      34.19%       -1,560,123      Abnormal

For example, the chart above shows EMC with 1,254,620 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.01000. 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.
