     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     DVAX       $-0.600      -18.99%      9,260,608       57.17%       6,767,791       41.78%       2,492,817       Abnormal
     MSFT       $-0.480      -1.74%       25,579,782      50.32%       22,872,209      45.00%       2,707,573       Abnormal
     F          $-0.010      -0.08%       11,361,939      34.09%       9,669,954       29.02%       1,691,985       Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Wednesday 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 DVAX with 2,492,817 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.60000. 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.
