November 30, 2010 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Tuesday. 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 Tuesday there were 1113 companies with "abnormal" market making, 783 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1401 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Tuesday and low price friction (bullish).

BROADWIND ENERGY INC (NASDAQ:BWEN), ALMADEN MINERALS LTD (AMEX:AAU), BALDOR ELECTRIC (NYSE:BEZ), CALLWAVE INC. (NASDAQ:CALL), CHARLES & COLVARD LTD (NASDAQ:CTHR), AASTROM BIOSCIENCES INC (NASDAQ:ASTM).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BWEN       $0.200       11.70%       940,126         57.99%       681,135         42.01%       258,991         12,950  
     AAU        $0.680       17.94%       1,337,326       55.85%       944,558         39.45%       392,768         5,776   
     BEZ        $19.000      42.12%       19,424,170      48.30%       18,387,387      45.72%       1,036,783       546     
     CALL       $3.800       15.64%       70,750          58.93%       47,910          39.91%       22,840          60      
     CTHR       $0.330       14.80%       109,636         80.82%       26,014          19.18%       83,622          2,534   
     ASTM       $0.260       11.98%       1,948,802       53.68%       1,679,858       46.27%       268,944         10,344  

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 ASTM with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.26000 and a Friction Factor of 10,344 shares. That means that it only took 10,344 more shares of buying than selling to move ASTM higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.

Through this platform, CallWave is able to filter telemarketer calls that its subscribers do not wish to receive; notify the subscriber of incoming calls while connected to the Internet; deliver detailed caller identification information to the subscriber; enable subscriber to screen phone calls in real-time as the caller leaves a voice message, and enable the subscriber to choose to take the call on any device available to them at the time regardless of where the call originated.
