Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  JVA     $2.850    36.31%    2,445,988    56.50%    1,816,906    41.97%    629,082      2,207   
  GVP     $0.410    22.40%    259,592      31.07%    241,478      28.90%    18,114       442     
  CHNG    $0.290    25.20%    179,679      49.09%    93,368       25.51%    86,311       2,978   
  HCIIW   $0.600    52.20%    63,700       64.96%    33,157       33.81%    30,543       509     
  VRS     $0.450    21.95%    636,243      34.88%    588,316      32.25%    47,927       1,065   
  BSPM    $0.260    33.33%    1,563,280    55.86%    1,098,236    39.24%    465,044      17,886  
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 JVA with a dollar gain Friday of $2.85000 and a Friction Factor of 2,207 shares. That means that it only took 2,207 more shares of buying than selling to move JVA 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.
