     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     XLE        $-0.040      -0.05%       4,808,672       19.90%       4,016,118       16.62%       792,554         Abnormal
     KFT        $-0.330      -0.94%       4,080,745       41.13%       2,456,907       24.76%       1,623,838       Abnormal
     SVU        $-0.440      -4.58%       6,097,300       35.01%       4,437,091       25.47%       1,660,209       Abnormal
     PLD        $-0.700      -4.41%       8,950,060       27.71%       5,225,576       16.18%       3,724,484       Abnormal
     XRT        $-0.520      -0.99%       4,700,035       25.16%       3,971,881       21.27%       728,154         Abnormal
     MPEL       $-0.020      -0.20%       7,969,005       52.53%       7,197,371       47.44%       771,634         Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Thursday 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 XLE with 792,554 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.04000. 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.
