February 4, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. 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 Friday there were 2659 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2590 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2524 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday 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. EMISPHERE TECHNOLOGIES INC (OTCBB:EMIS), COINSTAR INC (NASDAQ:CSTR), POWER-ONE INC (NASDAQ:PWER), EASTERN VIRGINIA BANKSHARES (NASDAQ:EVBS), SUPERCONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES (NASDAQ:SCON), COMPLETE PRODUCTION SERVICES (NYSE:CPX).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     EMIS       $-0.220      -11.76%      85,850          35.86%       153,521         64.14%       -67,671         -3,076  
     CSTR       $-5.280      -11.93%      5,503,770       48.63%       5,749,974       50.80%       -246,204        -466    
     PWER       $-2.500      -21.28%      17,184,877      48.37%       18,217,736      51.28%       -1,032,859      -4,131  
     EVBS       $-1.450      -27.62%      145,238         40.21%       209,539         58.01%       -64,301         -443    
     SCON       $-0.680      -21.79%      1,714,801       46.30%       1,972,410       53.25%       -257,609        -3,788  
     CPX        $-3.970      -13.82%      4,774,708       41.82%       5,438,967       47.64%       -664,259        -1,673  

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 CPX with a dollar loss Friday of $-3.97000 and a Friction Factor of -1,673 shares. That means that it only took 1,673 more shares of selling than buying to move CPX 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.
