Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  CMCSA   $0.470    0.01%     3,878,745    23.70%    7,149,253    43.68%    -3,270,508   Abnormal
  BAC     $0.350    0.02%     32,273,264   28.65%    44,264,286   39.30%    -11,991,022  Abnormal
  GE      $0.320    0.01%     10,565,787   26.82%    14,047,655   35.65%    -3,481,868   Abnormal
  WFC     $0.860    0.02%     6,998,114    20.28%    11,194,174   32.44%    -4,196,060   Abnormal
  ING     $0.090    0.01%     1,278,580    16.19%    3,987,573    50.50%    -2,708,993   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 CMCSA with 3,270,508 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.47000. 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.
