This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Friday there were 3553 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1727 companies with positive Friction Factors and 4217 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday and low price friction (bearish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PWAV    $-0.830   -38.60%   2,545,212    45.32%    3,071,241    54.68%    -526,029     -6,338  
  SGOC    $-1.030   -40.39%   302,780      38.84%    454,447      58.30%    -151,667     -1,472  
  TOPS    $-0.530   -18.21%   49,942       44.04%    61,809       54.50%    -11,867      -224    
  NEWL    $-1.020   -28.02%   103,639      33.98%    200,761      65.82%    -97,122      -952    
  NFEC    $-0.290   -17.47%   31,520       35.70%    54,860       62.14%    -23,340      -805    
  NEI     $-0.360   -25.17%   648,188      45.17%    786,716      54.83%    -138,528     -3,848  
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 PWAV with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.83000 and a Friction Factor of -6,338 shares. That means that it only took 6,338 more shares of selling than buying to move PWAV 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.
