Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  GTIM    $-0.400   -19.32%   102,900      47.31%    113,696      52.27%    -10,796      -270    
  DANG    $-1.560   -15.31%   2,760,939    31.75%    2,985,705    34.34%    -224,766     -1,441  
  REPYF   $-2.700   -11.89%   100,100      29.04%    244,177      70.84%    -144,077     -534    
  SPRD    $-1.960   -11.56%   1,464,338    46.44%    1,645,660    52.19%    -181,322     -925    
  LEI     $-0.420   -19.18%   417,116      29.46%    444,238      31.37%    -27,122      -646    
  NEWL    $-0.410   -15.65%   73,651       37.99%    119,601      61.70%    -45,950      -1,121  
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 GTIM with a dollar loss Monday of $-0.40000 and a Friction Factor of -270 shares. That means that it only took 270 more shares of selling than buying to move GTIM 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.
