December 22, 2010 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday. 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 Wednesday there were 2666 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2936 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2462 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Wednesday and low price friction (bearish).

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     UCRP       $-0.025      -38.46%      35,500          19.01%       151,250         80.99%       -115,750        -46,300 
     JTX        $-0.220      -11.34%      842,427         39.16%       1,308,219       60.82%       -465,792        -21,172 
     BZF        $-3.350      -11.44%      54,124          49.46%       67,066          61.28%       -12,942         -39     
     NAII       $-0.710      -11.83%      231,706         42.94%       466,513         86.46%       -234,807        -3,307  
     EMKR       $-0.400      -25.16%      2,092,994       43.65%       2,698,491       56.28%       -605,497        -15,137 
     BIOF       $-0.330      -16.58%      384,709         47.05%       413,314         50.55%       -28,605         -867    

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 BIOF with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-0.33000 and a Friction Factor of -867 shares. That means that it only took 867 more shares of selling than buying to move BIOF 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.
