Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net buy volume on Thursday and lowest 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 PFE $0.070 0.26% 11,990,475 49.53% 6,134,905 25.34% 5,855,570 836,510 QCOM $0.080 0.12% 12,494,099 91.14% 5,612,382 40.94% 6,881,717 860,215 MRK $0.040 0.10% 7,861,682 48.14% 4,184,258 25.62% 3,677,424 919,356 BRCD $0.120 2.08% 14,949,082 58.21% 10,696,919 41.65% 4,252,163 354,347 WFC $0.080 0.23% 9,830,358 44.11% 4,937,507 22.15% 4,892,851 611,606 BBRY $1.100 7.86% 57,100,181 51.24% 54,152,214 48.60% 2,947,967 26,800 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 PFE with a Net Buy Volume of 5,855,570 shares and a Friction Factor of 836,510 shares. That means that it takes 836,510 more shares of buying than selling to move PFE 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.
