Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  NAV     $-4.390   -15.25%   2,175,977    29.82%    2,206,118    30.24%    -30,141      -69     
  FBN     $-0.160   -11.35%   28,930       23.04%    60,462       48.16%    -31,532      -1,971  
  PFBC    $-2.420   -17.18%   74,671       46.23%    83,635       51.78%    -8,964       -37

  SCMP    $-1.790   -25.74%   277,888      49.19%    285,796      50.59%    -7,908       -44     
  UGAZ    $-5.270   -16.26%   73,795       26.94%    75,597       27.59%    -1,802       -3      
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 NAV with a dollar loss Friday of $-4.39000 and a Friction Factor of -69 shares. That means that it only took 69 more shares of selling than buying to move NAV 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.
