  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  BP      $0.010    0.02%     1,554,111    27.25%    2,064,352    36.20%    -510,241     Abnormal

  JPM     $0.130    0.30%     6,308,260    24.96%    7,549,324    29.87%    -1,241,064   Abnormal
  STI     $0.620    2.76%     4,167,303    27.31%    4,676,353    30.65%    -509,050     Abnormal
  KNOL    $0.010    0.03%     589,572      31.00%    1,310,861    68.93%    -721,289     Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Monday and their stock prices rose. 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 BP with 510,241 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.
