December 23, 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.

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

ONCOTHYREON INC (NASDAQ:ONTY), BANKATLANTIC BANCORP INC-A (NYSE:BBX), SYCAMORE NETWORKS INC (NASDAQ:SCMR), BIOANALYTICAL SYSTEMS INC (NASDAQ:BASI), MESABI TRUST (NYSE:MSB), TEL OFFSHORE TRUST (NASDAQ:TELOZ).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ONTY       $-0.400      -10.28%      241,328         46.82%       274,089         53.18%       -32,761         -819    
     BBX        $-0.130      -10.08%      450,601         33.73%       886,353         66.34%       -435,752        -33,519 
     SCMR       $-6.500      -23.84%      311,889         47.29%       344,455         52.23%       -32,566         -50     
     BASI       $-0.350      -17.07%      60,027          36.10%       103,830         62.45%       -43,803         -1,252  
     MSB        $-5.030      -10.88%      662,334         39.36%       838,205         49.82%       -175,871        -350    
     TELOZ      $-0.200      -11.43%      36,245          33.28%       72,449          66.53%       -36,204         -1,810  

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 TELOZ with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.20000 and a Friction Factor of -1,810 shares. That means that it only took 1,810 more shares of selling than buying to move TELOZ 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.
