On Tuesday there were 4015 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3403 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2245 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.

Inc (NASDAQ:YHOO), MICROSOFT CORPORATION (NASDAQ:MSFT), Oracle Corp (NASDAQ:ORCL), Telefon AB L M Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC).

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 with 4,909,065 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.57000. 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.
