November 18, 2010 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday. Since October 2008 market makers are now required to be on the bid as much as they are on the offer and for like amounts of stock. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Thursday there were 2726 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3648 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1609 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday and low price friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. AASTROM BIOSCIENCES INC (NASDAQ:ASTM), VALUEVISION MEDIA INC-CL A (NASDAQ:VVTV), LJ INTL INC (NASDAQ:JADE), VERIGY LTD (NASDAQ:VRGY), SMARTHEAT INC (NASDAQ:HEAT), QKL STORES INC (NASDAQ:QKLS).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change      Percent     Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ASTM       $-1.52      -36.190%     6,479,077       46.480%      7,322,443       52.530%      -843,366        -5,548  
     VVTV       $-0.28      -8.670%     176,097         33.480%      349,909         66.520%      -173,812        -6,208  
     JADE       $-0.45      -8.750%     458,850         38.420%      722,492         60.500%      -263,642        -5,859  
     VRGY       $-0.78      -8.750%     2,909,753       48.690%      2,921,946       48.890%      -12,193         -156    
     HEAT       $-0.60      -10.640%     2,285,783       48.430%      2,433,259       51.560%      -147,476        -2,458  
     QKLS       $-0.37      -8.830%     48,489          19.670%      198,018         80.330%      -149,529        -4,041  

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 QKLS with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.370 and a Friction Factor of -4,041 shares. That means that it only took 4,041 more shares of selling than buying to move QKLS 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.
