  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  FDO     $-8.290   -12.95%   3,957,018    26.50%    4,115,855    27.57%    -158,837     -192

  MSON    $-0.930   -11.30%   34,191       40.96%    42,649       51.09%    -8,458       -91

  ALLT    $-4.480   -24.51%   3,716,554    44.11%    4,569,099    54.23%    -852,545     -1,903

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely 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 FDO with a dollar loss Thursday of $-8.29000 and a Friction Factor of -192 shares. That means that it only took 192 more shares of selling than buying to move FDO lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
