     BKBK       $-3.800      -33.63%      45,773          46.31%       52,831          53.45%       -7,058          -19     
     PACB       $-1.310      -23.56%      684,377         42.18%       938,198         57.82%       -253,821        -1,938  
     OMEX       $-1.050      -32.41%      3,383,580       48.68%       3,546,000       51.02%       -162,420        -1,547  
     KIPS       $-0.980      -34.39%      28,757          26.05%       81,619          73.95%       -52,862         -539    
     TKDN       $-0.220      -17.32%      718,281         41.03%       1,007,578       57.55%       -289,297        -13,150 
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 SBSA with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-0.67000 and a Friction Factor of -367 shares. That means that it only took 367 more shares of selling than buying to move SBSA 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.
