December 20, 2010 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Monday. 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.

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

RXI PHARMACEUTICALS CORP (NASDAQ:RXII), HYFLUX LTD (OTC:HYFXF), BANK MUTUAL CORP (NASDAQ:BKMU), BANKATLANTIC BANCORP INC-A (NYSE:BBX), NATURAL ALTERNATIVES INTL (NASDAQ:NAII), BIOLASE TECHNOLOGY INC (NASDAQ:BLTI).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     RXII       $-0.360      -11.43%      476,475         47.43%       528,184         52.57%       -51,709         -1,436  
     HYFXF      $-0.370      -17.21%      80,295          30.64%       106,552         40.65%       -26,257         -710    
     BKMU       $-0.610      -11.17%      130,572         23.05%       435,894         76.95%       -305,322        -5,005  
     BBX        $-0.350      -22.15%      1,982,441       44.12%       2,510,914       55.88%       -528,473        -15,099 
     NAII       $-0.950      -13.97%      43,915          18.95%       117,822         50.84%       -73,907         -778    
     BLTI       $-0.300      -15.79%      47,943          39.35%       71,590          58.76%       -23,647         -788    

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 BLTI with a dollar loss Monday of $-0.30000 and a Friction Factor of -788 shares. That means that it only took 788 more shares of selling than buying to move BLTI 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.
