  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  GE      $0.130    0.56%     7,621,479    25.52%    11,902,055   39.86%    -4,280,576   Abnormal
  T       $0.050    0.15%     6,216,677    26.13%    9,150,603    38.47%    -2,933,926   Abnormal
  INTC    $0.290    1.39%     13,753,214   45.44%    16,420,602   54.25%    -2,667,388   Abnormal
  MSFT    $0.140    0.51%     12,363,699   43.37%    16,257,961   57.03%    -3,894,262   Abnormal
  ETFC    $0.020    0.19%     2,851,809    31.84%    6,090,943    68.01%    -3,239,134   Abnormal
  ZNGA    $0.070    2.11%     4,030,811    36.44%    6,983,894    63.14%    -2,953,083   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 4,280,576 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.13000. 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.
