Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     SEP        $-1.460      -4.30%       2,021,002       59.01%       1,199,082       35.01%       821,920         Abnormal
     CSCO       $-0.100      -0.52%       58,727,246      51.27%       55,188,784      48.19%       3,538,462       Abnormal
     MOT        $-0.020      -0.25%       28,823,713      55.40%       17,962,733      34.53%       10,860,980      Abnormal
     SQNM       $-0.080      -1.17%       5,256,147       54.01%       4,411,543       45.33%       844,604         Abnormal
     MRVL       $-0.050      -0.24%       10,201,130      54.41%       7,797,485       41.59%       2,403,645       Abnormal
     CMCSA      $-0.070      -0.33%       9,961,458       57.37%       7,368,006       42.43%       2,593,452       Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Thursday and their stock prices dropped. 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 CMCSA with 2,593,452 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.07000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
