     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     MVIS       $-0.480      -20.51%      2,599,652       48.48%       2,759,359       51.45%       -159,707        -3,327  
     DSCI       $-1.850      -15.61%      121,395         45.78%       139,374         52.56%       -17,979         -97     
     ANIK       $-1.390      -14.60%      311,312         40.95%       447,196         58.83%       -135,884        -978    
     CPLA       $-11.110     -17.54%      847,635         45.27%       1,012,308       54.07%       -164,673        -148    
     LEI        $-0.300      -13.76%      378,207         37.10%       608,806         59.72%       -230,599        -7,687  
     UCRP       $-0.017      -39.53%      50,000          13.02%       334,100         86.98%       -284,100        -167,118

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 UCRP with a dollar loss Tuesday of $-0.01700 and a Friction Factor of -167,118 shares. That means that it only took 167,118 more shares of selling than buying to move UCRP 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.
