     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     PFE        $-0.080      -0.40%       11,073,196      31.50%       9,019,249       25.66%       2,053,947       Abnormal
     ESV        $-0.440      -0.85%       4,072,693       68.95%       1,129,365       19.12%       2,943,328       Abnormal
     PG         $-0.040      -0.06%       7,152,294       53.93%       2,024,463       15.26%       5,127,831       Abnormal
     TSM        $-0.290      -2.33%       7,263,295       40.87%       5,090,343       28.65%       2,172,952       Abnormal
     CTL        $-0.240      -0.63%       3,777,957       37.59%       2,419,217       24.07%       1,358,740       Abnormal
     MSFT       $-0.030      -0.11%       23,612,291      51.14%       22,428,469      48.57%       1,183,822       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 2,053,947 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.08000. 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.
