Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  CHK     $-0.100   -0.01%    19,554,366   35.09%    23,282,367   41.78%    -3,728,001   -372,800

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 CHK down $-0.10000 with a Friction Factor of -372,800 and a Net Volume of -3,728,001. That means that it takes 372,800 more shares of selling than buying to drop CHK by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).

LifeLock Inc. (NYSE:LOCK) - Saf T Lok Incorporated, incorporated in July 1989, designs, develops, manufactures and distributes patented and proprietary safety locks for handguns. STL was organized to develop a proprietary gun-locking device. The Company operates through its subsidiary, Saf T Lock Corporation (STL).

The Saf T Lok Grip Lock is a mechanical combination lock that attaches to a handgun. It is meant to be easily installed, removed and operated by a gun owner. When unlocked, it neither hampers nor interferes with use of the gun. When engaged, it locks the gun into the no-fire position, stopping normal operation and preventing it from being fired. The Grip Lock does not involve keys or batteries that might be lost or fail.

The body of the lock is positioned under, and concealed by, the gun's grip. The combination mechanism is located at the top of the grip. The Grip Lock is mounted on a plate placed under the gun's grip, and is installed by removal of the grip, insertion of the lock's mounting plate and replacement of the original grip with custom rubber grips sold with the Grip Lock. When locked, the Grip Lock cannot be removed without special tools or damage to the gun, even if the grips are removed. The lock engages by moving its safety slide backward with one finger while pushing the reset button with another finger, a simultaneous action designed to prevent accidental locking. The Grip Lock may be engaged even if the gun is loaded. In the firing position, the gun can be unlocked in approximately three seconds by depressing each of three individually programmed buttons the correct number of times, in any order, without looking at the lock or the gun. Each lock comes with a preset combination, but the Company produces a separately marketed combination changing kit that allows the gun owner to select a different, personal combination.

The Saf T Lok Magazine Lock, like the Grip Lock, is a precision, miniaturized, all-mechanical combination lock that attaches to the handgun. It is designed to be easily installed, removed and operated by a gun owner, and, when unlocked, neither hampers nor interferes with the use of the gun. It has two combination buttons that each move in two directions, yielding 10,000 possible combinations. The Magazine Lock replaces the gun's magazine. The locking mechanism, located at the bottom of the lock/magazine, occupies the space of four to six cartridges, depending upon the caliber. The Magazine Lock is installed by inserting it into the gun's magazine receptacle. When locked, a lever engages the trigger bar or similar part of the gun's firing mechanism, and a second lever locks over the trigger bar or frame to prevent removal of the magazine. The lock is disengaged by entering a four-digit combination, which can also be personalized.

The Company's competitors include Master Lock and Colt's Manufacturing Co..
