Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  GE      $0.100    0.51%     28,488,486   24.83%    34,866,653   30.38%    -6,378,167   Abnormal
  NNN     $0.100    0.34%     1,470,682    20.85%    4,782,455    67.81%    -3,311,773   Abnormal
  STR     $0.280    1.37%     1,152,778    17.70%    4,270,794    65.57%    -3,118,016   Abnormal
  SON     $0.150    0.51%     571,891      14.19%    2,878,636    71.45%    -2,306,745   Abnormal
  HGSI    $0.010    0.07%     1,042,598    14.23%    5,994,025    81.81%    -4,951,427   Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Friday 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 GE with 6,378,167 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.10000. 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.
