On Wednesday there were 3956 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2401 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2770 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Wednesday and low price friction (bullish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction EXM $0.260 30.41% 1,136,566 36.26% 1,001,532 31.95% 135,034 5,194 UTSI $0.420 17.80% 644,653 51.66% 582,969 46.71% 61,684 1,469 PFSW $0.510 14.87% 258,551 50.65% 250,415 49.06% 8,136 160 CHCI $0.700 59.83% 1,441,685 52.02% 1,242,438 44.83% 199,247 2,846 UEPS $1.620 26.87% 963,619 50.47% 938,723 49.17% 24,896 154 LIVE $0.560 26.05% 39,051 56.85% 29,636 43.15% 9,415 168 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and low price friction 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 EXM with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.26000 and a Friction Factor of 5,194 shares. That means that it only took 5,194 more shares of buying than selling to move EXM higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
