Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     TLB        $-0.360      -18.09%      898,972         24.49%       1,301,753       35.46%       -402,781        -11,188 
     UTIW       $-1.690      -10.85%      644,208         48.04%       733,064         54.67%       -88,856         -526    
     SBLK       $-0.110      -9.40%       138,806         41.65%       194,501         58.35%       -55,695         -5,063  
     SEAC       $-0.800      -9.99%       142,946         49.36%       146,436         50.57%       -3,490          -44     
     AONE       $-0.230      -9.27%       822,802         45.63%       980,595         54.37%       -157,793        -6,861  
     STNG       $-1.320      -19.86%      829,207         24.87%       1,158,269       34.74%       -329,062        -2,493  
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 TLB with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.36000 and a Friction Factor of -11,188 shares. That means that it only took 11,188 more shares of selling than buying to move TLB 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.
