     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     PFE        $-0.610      -3.12%       15,320,236      28.44%       12,663,413      23.51%       2,656,823       Abnormal
     GILD       $-3.840      -9.63%       21,886,159      50.63%       20,155,621      46.63%       1,730,538       Abnormal
     HBAN       $-0.210      -4.07%       12,060,136      60.55%       7,855,922       39.44%       4,204,214       Abnormal
     CIM        $-0.070      -2.60%       7,480,165       38.70%       5,276,723       27.30%       2,203,442       Abnormal

     INTC       $-0.790      -3.25%       31,676,666      52.52%       27,965,041      46.37%       3,711,625       Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Monday 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 2,656,823 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.61000. 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.
