  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  FE      $0.350    0.84%     3,355,871    66.19%    814,744      16.07%    2,541,127    72,604

  SIRI    $0.030    0.98%     27,398,821   60.34%    18,006,372   39.66%    9,392,449    3,130,816
  FMCC    $0.380    54.33%    26,073,713   57.37%    19,279,393   42.42%    6,794,320    178,704 
  FNMA    $0.372    51.81%    57,625,135   52.74%    51,110,321   46.78%    6,514,814    175,129 
  ABKFQ   $0.048    106.67%   21,123,920   55.58%    16,832,493   44.29%    4,291,427    894,047 
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 FE with a Net Buy Volume of 2,541,127 shares and a Friction Factor of 72,604 shares. That means that it takes 72,604 more shares of buying than selling to move FE higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
