     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     HWD        $-1.850      -12.87%      315,894         39.45%       399,811         49.93%       -83,917         -454    
     IMUC       $-0.150      -10.34%      301,618         45.33%       359,941         54.09%       -58,323         -3,888  
     ACCP       $-0.770      -23.40%      246,265         47.26%       274,781         52.74%       -28,516         -370    
     ZQK        $-0.600      -10.56%      1,733,435       45.53%       1,738,289       45.66%       -4,854          -81     
     GAJ        $-8.930      -59.34%      779,316         34.15%       1,120,586       49.11%       -341,270        -382    
     OPTI       $-0.320      -11.76%      99,535          28.66%       242,940         69.94%       -143,405        -4,481  

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 OPTI with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.32000 and a Friction Factor of -4,481 shares. That means that it only took 4,481 more shares of selling than buying to move OPTI 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.
