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 gain per share Friday 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. ZOLTEK COMPANIES INC (NASDAQ:ZOLT), ENVOY CAPITAL GROUP INC (NASDAQ:ECGI), JDS UNIPHASE CORP (NASDAQ:JDSU), EVERGREEN ENERGY INC (NYSE:EEE), OPNEXT INC (NASDAQ:OPXT), OREXIGEN THERAPEUTICS INC (NASDAQ:OREX).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ZOLT       $2.660       22.83%       1,097,831       51.90%       1,003,763       47.45%       94,068          354     
     ECGI       $0.420       38.53%       69,573          57.05%       52,135          42.75%       17,438          415     
     JDSU       $4.910       27.38%       19,972,632      50.30%       19,026,162      47.92%       946,470         1,928   
     EEE        $0.860       23.82%       2,861,076       53.06%       2,638,351       48.93%       222,725         2,590   
     OPXT       $0.580       29.15%       3,465,981       53.25%       3,040,073       46.70%       425,908         7,343   
     OREX       $0.740       25.17%       11,554,108      52.58%       10,422,080      47.42%       1,132,028       15,298  

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 OREX with a dollar gain Friday of $0.74000 and a Friction Factor of 15,298 shares. That means that it only took 15,298 more shares of buying than selling to move OREX 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.
