Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PRKR    $-0.230   -11.62%   369,594      36.96%    630,342      63.04%    -260,748     -11,337 
  JRCC    $-0.440   -9.21%    2,525,262    45.68%    2,991,509    54.11%    -466,247     -10,597 
  APOL    $-2.560   -9.26%    1,087,153    48.52%    1,091,324    48.71%    -4,171       -16     
  SOMX    $-0.200   -11.56%   69,266       47.34%    77,062       52.66%    -7,796       -390    
  BAGL    $-1.500   -8.39%    32,554       34.60%    61,242       65.08%    -28,688      -191    
  APPY    $-0.290   -11.28%   527,934      41.66%    739,372      58.34%    -211,438     -7,291  
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 PRKR with a dollar loss Tuesday of $-0.23000 and a Friction Factor of -11,337 shares. That means that it only took 11,337 more shares of selling than buying to move PRKR 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.
