On Tuesday there were 4029 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2862 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2517 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bearish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices dropped. Pfizer Inc (NYSE:PFE), Sirius XM Radio Inc (NASDAQ:SIRI), AU Optronics Corp (NYSE:AUO), INTEL CORPORATION (NASDAQ:INTC), Hewlett-Packard Co (NYSE:HPQ), Alcatel Lucent SA (NYSE:ALU).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction PFE $-0.240 -0.90% 9,998,904 33.84% 8,758,961 29.65% 1,239,943 Abnormal SIRI $-0.010 -0.32% 22,861,667 58.10% 16,428,425 41.75% 6,433,242 Abnormal AUO $-0.140 -3.29% 3,040,207 59.40% 1,178,541 23.03% 1,861,666 Abnormal INTC $-0.070 -0.30% 17,424,233 51.58% 15,945,982 47.20% 1,478,251 Abnormal HPQ $-0.400 -2.34% 13,818,665 35.68% 11,837,848 30.56% 1,980,817 Abnormal ALU $-0.030 -1.78% 3,472,964 44.58% 2,361,081 30.31% 1,111,883 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Tuesday and their stock prices dropped. 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 PFE with 1,239,943 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.24000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
