  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  LPHI    $-0.460   -19.33%   362,310      41.40%    512,851      58.60%    -150,541     -3,273

  FNMAS   $-1.330   -56.60%   2,214,541    13.26%    4,649,827    27.83%    -2,435,286   -18,310

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 LPHI with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.46000 and a Friction Factor of -3,273 shares. That means that it only took 3,273 more shares of selling than buying to move LPHI 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.
