January 19, 2011 / 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 2198 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1279 companies with positive Friction Factors and 4399 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net buy volume on Wednesday and lowest price Friction (bullish). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. IPATH S&P 500 VIX S/T FU ETN (NYSE:VXX), DIREXION DAILY FINL BEAR 3X (NYSE:FAZ), US NATURAL GAS FUND LP (NYSE:UNG), PROSHARES ULTRASHORT S&P500 (NYSE:SDS), CHIMERA INVESTMENT CORP (NYSE:CIM), BEACON POWER CORPORATION (NASDAQ:BCON).

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     VXX        $1.520       4.97%        13,624,640      54.55%       11,513,799      46.10%       2,110,841       13,887  
     FAZ        $0.510       6.11%        16,307,392      53.79%       13,893,813      45.83%       2,413,579       47,325  
     UNG        $0.200       3.33%        15,635,394      57.73%       11,740,794      43.35%       3,894,600       194,730 
     SDS        $0.420       1.89%        13,939,351      59.55%       9,467,708       40.45%       4,471,643       106,468 
     CIM        $0.010       0.24%        5,525,450       58.44%       3,577,716       37.84%       1,947,734       1,947,734
     BCON       $0.020       8.58%        9,938,668       57.99%       7,200,766       42.01%       2,737,902       1,368,951

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 BCON with a Net Buy Volume of 2,737,902 shares and a Friction Factor of 1,368,951 shares. That means that it takes 1,368,951 more shares of buying than selling to move BCON higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Wednesday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
