     BAC        $-0.030      -0.22%       48,453,978      42.96%       53,613,105      47.53%       -5,159,127      -1,719,709

     CIM        $-0.150      -3.60%       7,854,009       43.40%       10,217,779      56.46%       -2,363,770      -157,585
     S          $-0.160      -3.35%       38,883,436      41.43%       45,579,897      48.57%       -6,696,461      -418,529
     FTR        $-0.270      -3.31%       14,867,981      41.50%       17,269,304      48.21%       -2,401,323      -88,938 
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 MDMN down $-0.01950 with a Friction Factor of -1,282,313 and a Net Volume of -2,500,510. That means that it takes 1,282,313 more shares of selling than buying to drop MDMN by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
