  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  CHK     $0.110    0.02%     10,241,171   35.63%    11,381,756   39.59%    -1,140,585   Abnormal

  MSFT    $0.330    0.01%     5,530,231    28.14%    7,888,312    40.13%    -2,358,081   Abnormal
  NIHD    $0.250    0.48%     7,892,601    36.18%    8,845,330    40.55%    -952,729     Abnormal
  AMD     $0.030    0.00%     10,557,980   33.28%    11,980,537   37.76%    -1,422,557   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 CHK with 1,140,585 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.11000. 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.
