Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction SIRI $0.020 0.53% 28,326,976 60.20% 18,729,025 39.80% 9,597,951 4,798,976 FMD $0.070 7.28% 2,511,080 95.80% 60,838 2.32% 2,450,242 350,035 DRYS $0.170 8.85% 8,698,410 57.27% 6,489,543 42.73% 2,208,867 129,933 YHOO $0.700 3.16% 13,963,744 56.72% 10,566,549 42.92% 3,397,195 48,531 EJPRY $0.205 1.50% 1,573,389 97.13% 43,891 2.71% 1,529,498 74,610 FNMAS $0.040 1.29% 6,188,741 32.82% 3,975,467 21.08% 2,213,274 553,319 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 SIRI with a Net Buy Volume of 9,597,951 shares and a Friction Factor of 4,798,976 shares. That means that it takes 4,798,976 more shares of buying than selling to move SIRI higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Thursday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
