     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     SPY        $-1.440      -1.09%       45,726,823      21.54%       57,082,177      26.89%       -11,355,354     -78,857 
     SIRI       $-0.060      -2.91%       56,008,824      45.10%       69,302,414      55.81%       -13,293,590     -2,215,598
     CSCO       $-0.180      -1.10%       29,227,225      35.90%       51,977,961      63.84%       -22,750,736     -1,263,930
     YHOO       $-0.210      -1.34%       8,733,367       35.64%       15,766,386      64.34%       -7,033,019      -334,906

     HBHC       $-0.020      -0.06%       2,622,972       25.74%       7,310,046       71.75%       -4,687,074      -2,343,537
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 SPY down $-1.44000 with a Friction Factor of -78,857 and a Net Volume of -11,355,354. That means that it takes 78,857 more shares of selling than buying to drop SPY by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
