  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  EWZ     $0.320    0.01%     4,592,572    23.78%    5,762,355    29.84%    -1,169,783   Abnormal

  GGB     $0.110    0.04%     4,555,019    28.23%    6,085,749    37.71%    -1,530,730   Abnormal
  YUM     $0.280    0.00%     1,404,818    22.56%    2,268,699    36.44%    -863,881     Abnormal
  WFC     $0.180    0.00%     6,213,785    25.07%    8,511,952    34.34%    -2,298,167   Abnormal
  GDXJ    $0.640    0.02%     3,907,752    16.53%    7,264,409    30.74%    -3,356,657   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 EWZ with 1,169,783 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.32000. 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.
