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 EBAY with 1,877,366 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.35000. 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. eBay Inc (NASDAQ:EBAY) - eBay Inc. provides online platforms, tools, and services to help individuals and merchants in online and mobile commerce and payments in the United States and internationally.
