Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Wednesday 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
  TELK    $-0.280   -11.86%   72,340       44.13%    89,606       54.66%    -17,266      -617    
  VVTV    $-0.240   -10.34%   163,647      39.62%    249,414      60.38%    -85,767      -3,574  
  OSIR    $-2.480   -17.93%   690,721      48.06%    722,846      50.30%    -32,125      -130    
  OMER    $-2.670   -20.15%   1,225,433    46.44%    1,406,569    53.30%    -181,136     -678    
  LSCG    $-0.180   -11.11%   45,124       26.11%    83,252       48.17%    -38,128      -2,118  
  FMNL    $-0.470   -26.11%   30,577       18.53%    49,550       30.03%    -18,973      -404    
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 TELK with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-0.28000 and a Friction Factor of -617 shares. That means that it only took 617 more shares of selling than buying to move TELK 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.
