Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday and low price friction (bearish).

SNAP INTERACTIVE INC (OTCBB:STVI), CHINA SHEN ZHOU MINING & RES (AMEX:SHZ), WEBMEDIABRANDS INC (NASDAQ:WEBM), ZALE CORP (NYSE:ZLC), ADEONA PHARMACEUTICALS INC (AMEX:AEN), NANOPHASE TECHNOLOGIES CORP (NASDAQ:NANX).

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     STVI       $-0.580      -22.92%      779,524         44.96%       911,522         52.57%       -131,998        -2,276  
     SHZ        $-1.120      -12.06%      7,018,841       42.02%       7,678,225       45.96%       -659,384        -5,887  
     WEBM       $-0.250      -14.29%      700,171         39.00%       1,091,746       60.81%       -391,575        -15,663 
     ZLC        $-0.530      -10.71%      1,178,755       40.69%       1,498,800       51.74%       -320,045        -6,039  
     AEN        $-0.160      -12.30%      219,191         43.89%       246,432         49.35%       -27,241         -1,703  
     NANX       $-0.140      -10.22%      343,334         44.88%       421,695         55.12%       -78,361         -5,597  

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 NANX with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.14000 and a Friction Factor of -5,597 shares. That means that it only took 5,597 more shares of selling than buying to move NANX 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.
