     VIFL       $1.110       19.35%       41,490          60.50%       26,271          38.31%       15,219          137     
     AWCMF      $0.268       22.10%       354,728         89.87%       40,000          10.13%       314,728         11,748

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 FORD with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.53000 and a Friction Factor of 46 shares. That means that it only took 46 more shares of buying than selling to move FORD 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.
