Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     PACR       $-1.430      -20.69%      1,423,029       49.31%       1,449,865       50.24%       -26,836         -188    
     CSCO       $-3.100      -14.07%      269,751,440     47.95%       292,984,930     52.08%       -23,233,490     -74,947 
     IDIX       $-1.010      -25.19%      1,123,291       46.47%       1,291,437       53.43%       -168,146        -1,665  
     AKAM       $-7.320      -15.25%      19,678,788      46.74%       21,647,690      51.42%       -1,968,902      -2,690  
     HKN        $-0.640      -15.84%      36,252          38.24%       46,174          48.71%       -9,922          -155    
     CARV       $-0.380      -17.84%      73,840          45.20%       86,905          53.20%       -13,065         -344    

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 CARV with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.38000 and a Friction Factor of -344 shares. That means that it only took 344 more shares of selling than buying to move CARV 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.
