     BAC        $-0.180      -1.62%       83,521,797      32.63%       75,562,858      29.52%       7,958,939       Abnormal
     WFC        $-0.010      -0.04%       10,379,690      35.12%       7,671,405       25.95%       2,708,285       Abnormal
     MFA        $-0.040      -0.49%       7,061,009       42.94%       4,033,629       24.53%       3,027,380       Abnormal

     WTFS       $-0.026      -22.03%      11,040,001      66.94%       6,090,925       36.93%       4,949,076       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 PFE with 4,526,633 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.07000. 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.
