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

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     STVI       $-0.460      -18.25%      411,315         41.29%       413,685         41.52%       -2,370          -52     
     IGOI       $-0.700      -14.00%      829,988         45.16%       1,002,010       54.52%       -172,022        -2,457  
     EEE        $-0.590      -22.71%      2,210,956       41.43%       3,159,810       59.21%       -948,854        -16,082 
     EMMS       $-0.200      -14.49%      415,292         42.27%       567,148         57.73%       -151,856        -7,593  
     CSTR       $-15.500     -27.22%      9,213,316       47.66%       9,879,342       51.11%       -666,026        -430    
     BRN        $-1.820      -20.36%      140,546         38.85%       154,233         42.63%       -13,687         -75     

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 BRN with a dollar loss Friday of $-1.82000 and a Friction Factor of -75 shares. That means that it only took 75 more shares of selling than buying to move BRN 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.
