     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     EEM        $-1.180      -2.36%       22,552,272      27.14%       26,038,474      31.34%       -3,486,202      -29,544 
     SPY        $-0.600      -0.44%       31,646,467      23.17%       35,534,418      26.02%       -3,887,951      -64,799 
     PFE        $-0.530      -2.52%       29,913,646      27.56%       33,010,728      30.41%       -3,097,082      -58,436 
     VRSN       $-0.750      -2.02%       1,981,463       30.01%       4,580,722       69.38%       -2,599,259      -34,657 
     SLV        $-2.120      -4.95%       50,093,513      23.07%       59,163,869      27.24%       -9,070,356      -42,785 
     XOP        $-2.290      -3.66%       1,185,034       12.56%       3,830,322       40.61%       -2,645,288      -11,551 
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 EEM down $-1.18000 with a Friction Factor of -29,544 and a Net Volume of -3,486,202. That means that it takes 29,544 more shares of selling than buying to drop EEM by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
