     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction

     RHHBY      $-0.030      -0.08%       918,304         55.43%       151,087         9.12%        767,217         Abnormal
     MDT        $-0.700      -1.86%       5,770,866       49.54%       5,043,390       43.30%       727,476         Abnormal
     WFR        $-0.240      -2.15%       3,650,084       51.87%       2,999,859       42.63%       650,225         Abnormal

     TZA        $-0.530      -3.34%       9,031,835       51.99%       8,399,760       48.35%       632,075         Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Tuesday 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 TZA with 632,075 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.53000. 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.
