     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ANR        $-0.140      -0.67%       5,207,687       38.92%       3,111,084       23.25%       2,096,603       Abnormal
     GE         $-0.160      -0.98%       14,308,709      31.65%       11,267,927      24.93%       3,040,782       Abnormal
     EMC        $-0.130      -0.57%       7,372,100       37.95%       5,114,860       26.33%       2,257,240       Abnormal
     WFC        $-0.790      -2.93%       13,602,584      33.83%       9,177,534       22.83%       4,425,050       Abnormal
     PRU        $-1.370      -2.69%       4,785,288       55.49%       1,280,097       14.84%       3,505,191       Abnormal
     ORCL       $-0.010      -0.03%       15,654,315      55.62%       12,484,340      44.35%       3,169,975       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 ANR with 2,096,603 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.14000. 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.
