Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday and low price friction (bearish).

For example, the chart above shows CTRP with a dollar loss Friday of $-3.00000 and a Friction Factor of -3,880 shares. That means that it only took 3,880 more shares of selling than buying to move CTRP 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.
