     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     CSCO       $-0.070      -0.38%       26,637,471      53.72%       22,679,902      45.74%       3,957,569       Abnormal
     INTC       $-0.440      -1.83%       40,816,311      50.98%       38,032,649      47.50%       2,783,662       Abnormal
     F          $-0.370      -3.38%       21,685,032      32.33%       18,326,926      27.32%       3,358,106       Abnormal
     ORCL       $-0.540      -1.72%       14,710,845      55.59%       11,708,789      44.24%       3,002,056       Abnormal

     M          $-1.710      -5.27%       5,953,586       42.37%       2,687,984       19.13%       3,265,602       Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Tuesday 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 CSCO with 3,957,569 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.07000. 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.
