     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     TZOO       $-4.820      -14.81%      634,753         41.16%       883,453         57.29%       -248,700        -516    
     SINA       $-16.660     -15.24%      6,904,834       47.33%       7,464,437       51.16%       -559,603        -336    
     MCP        $-11.550     -21.79%      7,596,749       29.73%       7,940,897       31.08%       -344,148        -298    
     SEM        $-1.220      -17.02%      423,383         20.76%       1,259,935       61.77%       -836,552        -6,857

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely low price friction 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 TZOO with a dollar loss Tuesday of $-4.82000 and a Friction Factor of -516 shares. That means that it only took 516 more shares of selling than buying to move TZOO lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
