Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  KO      $-0.430   -0.55%    2,058,649    20.52%    5,760,084    57.40%    -3,701,435   -86,080

  YHOO    $-0.850   -5.31%    29,714,483   48.00%    32,075,803   51.81%    -2,361,320   -27,780

  AONE    $-0.030   -5.71%    14,485,875   44.30%    17,906,503   54.76%    -3,420,628   -1,140,209

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 KO down $-0.43000 with a Friction Factor of -86,080 and a Net Volume of -3,701,435. That means that it takes 86,080 more shares of selling than buying to drop KO by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
