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

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     EMKR       $-0.680      -22.01%      2,842,813       47.47%       3,113,496       51.99%       -270,683        -3,981  
     FFHL       $-1.000      -19.61%      56,957          31.30%       117,119         64.36%       -60,162         -602    
     OPXT       $-0.770      -20.59%      1,783,293       46.12%       2,069,502       53.53%       -286,209        -3,717  
     SSN        $-0.960      -22.43%      6,249,546       42.21%       8,558,203       57.80%       -2,308,657      -24,049 
     SHZ        $-1.020      -20.56%      2,450,876       45.66%       2,761,337       51.44%       -310,461        -3,044  
     KNKT       $-0.390      -23.78%      2,088,302       37.82%       3,364,273       60.92%       -1,275,971      -32,717 
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 EMKR with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-0.68000 and a Friction Factor of -3,981 shares. That means that it only took 3,981 more shares of selling than buying to move EMKR 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.
