     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     XLB        $-0.020      -0.05%       13,286,442      58.06%       9,533,285       41.66%       3,753,157       Abnormal
     NOK        $-0.330      -3.95%       29,485,237      50.80%       24,191,778      41.68%       5,293,459       Abnormal
     SIRI       $-0.020      -1.13%       38,207,843      57.78%       29,444,005      44.53%       8,763,838       Abnormal
     EMC        $-0.400      -1.53%       14,928,306      54.42%       10,450,850      38.10%       4,477,456       Abnormal
     EWJ        $-0.100      -1.00%       202,918,345     50.78%       178,776,531     44.74%       24,141,814      Abnormal
     INTC       $-0.700      -3.36%       44,951,787      55.11%       37,411,699      45.87%       7,540,088       Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Tuesday 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 XLB with 3,753,157 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.02000. 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.
