  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PFE     $0.160    0.01%     12,381,227   28.08%    15,627,169   35.44%    -3,245,942   Abnormal
  BAC     $0.130    0.01%     42,913,978   33.86%    47,754,102   37.68%    -4,840,124   Abnormal
  GE      $0.110    0.01%     14,372,378   30.70%    17,873,199   38.18%    -3,500,821   Abnormal
  T       $0.390    0.01%     7,867,213    29.52%    9,750,671    36.59%    -1,883,458   Abnormal
  ROVI    $0.640    0.04%     617,165      18.74%    2,675,773    81.23%    -2,058,608   Abnormal
  YNDX    $0.450    0.02%     1,013,959    27.23%    2,709,805    72.77%    -1,695,846   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 3,245,942 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.16000. 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.
