Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  KO      $0.270    0.72%     4,012,550    24.26%    6,040,406    36.53%    -2,027,856   Abnormal

  HCN     $0.570    1.00%     2,550,362    28.94%    4,283,396    48.60%    -1,733,034   Abnormal
  TSM     $0.010    0.07%     4,101,752    28.07%    5,059,432    34.63%    -957,680     Abnormal
  INTC    $0.120    0.51%     22,848,162   46.17%    26,333,273   53.22%    -3,485,111   Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday 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 KO with 2,027,856 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.27000. 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.
