Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PFE     $0.110    0.46%     8,805,804    26.30%    11,739,050   35.06%    -2,933,246   Abnormal
  AMAT    $0.010    0.14%     5,243,467    45.21%    6,330,598    54.58%    -1,087,131   Abnormal
  QCOM    $2.400    4.28%     12,392,561   47.69%    13,370,643   51.45%    -978,082     Abnormal
  MRVL    $0.330    3.03%     4,728,152    44.27%    5,951,854    55.73%    -1,223,702   Abnormal
  CAH     $0.490    1.14%     699,408      19.51%    1,827,532    50.99%    -1,128,124   Abnormal
  XRX     $0.030    0.45%     6,243,996    31.76%    7,606,631    38.69%    -1,362,635   Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Thursday 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 PFE with 2,933,246 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.11000. 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.
