Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  BPHX    $0.320    17.39%    64,677       56.04%    49,829       43.18%    14,848       464     
  VECO    $4.630    15.34%    3,506,622    54.53%    2,884,404    44.85%    622,218      1,344   
  PLXT    $2.680    67.34%    2,978,961    54.48%    2,459,706    44.98%    519,255      1,938   
  CAR     $2.360    17.91%    4,678,572    51.30%    4,461,179    48.92%    217,393      921     
  ESIC    $1.260    21.36%    674,263      72.66%    253,710      27.34%    420,553      3,338   
  NFEC    $0.360    18.65%    207,503      57.83%    151,100      42.11%    56,403       1,567   

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 BPHX with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.32000 and a Friction Factor of 464 shares. That means that it only took 464 more shares of buying than selling to move BPHX 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.
