     UNG        $-0.090      -1.45%       5,797,934       38.09%       9,599,295       63.06%       -3,801,361      -422,373
     MI         $-0.040      -0.55%       2,835,951       29.17%       6,467,172       66.53%       -3,631,221      -907,805
     S          $-0.070      -1.57%       25,946,287      43.63%       29,725,698      49.99%       -3,779,411      -539,916
     VZ         $-0.960      -2.71%       16,474,195      39.19%       19,941,475      47.44%       -3,467,280      -36,118 
     JPM        $-0.060      -0.13%       18,473,981      40.22%       22,641,830      49.29%       -4,167,849      -694,642
     C          $-0.290      -5.65%       806,408,607     44.73%       965,056,732     53.53%       -158,648,125     -5,470,625

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 C down $-0.29000 with a Friction Factor of -5,470,625 and a Net Volume of -158,648,125. That means that it takes 5,470,625 more shares of selling than buying to drop C by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
