January 18, 2011 / 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 2644 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2837 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2568 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). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. BALQON CORP (OTCBB:BLQN), USA TECHNOLOGIES INC (NASDAQ:USAT), DATALINK CORP (NASDAQ:DTLK), PLURISTEM THERAPEUTICS INC (NASDAQ:PSTI), EURO TECH HOLDINGS CO LTD (NASDAQ:CLWT), NANOPHASE TECHNOLOGIES CORP (NASDAQ:NANX).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BLQN       $0.300       25.00%       65,455          67.12%       32,060          32.88%       33,395          1,113   
     USAT       $0.380       28.79%       1,299,595       58.94%       905,407         41.06%       394,188         10,373  
     DTLK       $1.510       33.26%       835,819         50.56%       801,939         48.51%       33,880          224     
     PSTI       $0.560       20.59%       1,569,875       48.01%       1,516,021       46.37%       53,854          962     
     CLWT       $0.330       27.97%       356,238         53.16%       291,742         43.54%       64,496          1,954   
     NANX       $0.340       27.42%       466,258         70.05%       199,330         29.95%       266,928         7,851   

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 NANX with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.34000 and a Friction Factor of 7,851 shares. That means that it only took 7,851 more shares of buying than selling to move NANX 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.
