UNIFY CORP (NASDAQ:UNFY), PHYSICIANS FORMULA HOLDINGS (NASDAQ:FACE), China Medicine Corp (OTCBB:CHME), POWERSECURE INTERNATIONAL IN (NASDAQ:POWR), CHINA-BIOTICS INC (NASDAQ:CHBT), WEIKANG BIO-TECHNOLOGY GROUP (OTCBB:WKBT).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     UNFY       $-0.550      -17.19%      104,830         48.00%       113,588         52.00%       -8,758          -159    
     FACE       $-0.600      -13.45%      26,753          33.38%       53,393          66.62%       -26,640         -444    
     CHME       $-0.260      -16.05%      54,000          22.43%       186,706         77.57%       -132,706        -5,104  
     POWR       $-1.160      -14.30%      396,283         46.78%       449,360         53.05%       -53,077         -458    
     CHBT       $-1.300      -11.69%      275,723         39.65%       418,667         60.20%       -142,944        -1,100  
     WKBT       $-0.247      -10.61%      65,651          36.86%       70,081          39.35%       -4,430          -179    
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 UNFY with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.55000 and a Friction Factor of -159 shares. That means that it only took 159 more shares of selling than buying to move UNFY 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.
