Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BPOP       $-0.050      -1.70%       5,177,039       58.45%       3,639,582       41.09%       1,537,457       Abnormal
     PBI        $-0.150      -0.60%       4,973,118       60.98%       3,003,807       36.83%       1,969,311       Abnormal
     CSCO       $-0.040      -0.22%       32,184,657      51.08%       29,181,393      46.31%       3,003,264       Abnormal
     WFT        $-2.280      -9.69%       56,431,945      53.70%       46,142,088      43.90%       10,289,857      Abnormal
     DDR        $-0.170      -1.21%       6,586,456       49.25%       5,461,848       40.84%       1,124,608       Abnormal
     LO         $-0.690      -0.88%       3,285,495       63.62%       1,614,179       31.25%       1,671,316       Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Wednesday and their stock prices dropped. 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 BPOP with 1,537,457 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.05000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
