January 6, 2011 / 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 2739 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2076 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2943 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. USA TECHNOLOGIES INC (NASDAQ:USAT), ADVANCED PHOTONIX INC-CL A (AMEX:API), THERMOGENESIS CORP (NASDAQ:KOOL), RPC INC (NYSE:RES), CROWN CRAFTS INC (NASDAQ:CRWS), PHAZAR CORP (NASDAQ:ANTP).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     USAT       $-0.120      -8.89%       233,779         39.14%       363,583         60.86%       -129,804        -10,817 
     API        $-0.170      -10.00%      166,140         30.43%       353,682         64.79%       -187,542        -11,032 
     KOOL       $-0.350      -9.43%       198,885         35.44%       362,264         64.56%       -163,379        -4,668  
     RES        $-1.650      -8.96%       1,126,855       41.67%       1,379,926       51.03%       -253,071        -1,534  
     CRWS       $-0.570      -11.40%      36,355          31.13%       80,091          68.57%       -43,736         -767    
     ANTP       $-0.700      -12.96%      44,036          42.44%       58,734          56.60%       -14,698         -210    

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 ANTP with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.70000 and a Friction Factor of -210 shares. That means that it only took 210 more shares of selling than buying to move ANTP 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.
