February 7, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Monday. 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 Monday there were 2568 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3415 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1968 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net sell volume on Monday and lowest negative price Friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. ISHARES MSCI BRAZIL (NYSE:EWZ), HEALTH CARE SELECT SECTOR (NYSE:XLV), GILEAD SCIENCES INC (NASDAQ:GILD), MCDONALD'S CORP (NYSE:MCD), US NATURAL GAS FUND LP (NYSE:UNG), GT SOLAR INTERNATIONAL INC (NASDAQ:SOLR).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     EWZ        $-0.720      -1.00%       6,333,046       41.18%       10,272,903      66.80%       -3,939,857      -54,720 
     XLV        $-0.110      -0.34%       3,320,079       36.30%       5,930,892       64.85%       -2,610,813      -237,347
     GILD       $-0.790      -2.04%       2,437,976       34.76%       5,733,685       81.75%       -3,295,709      -41,718 
     MCD        $-0.600      -0.81%       3,359,794       28.91%       7,692,390       66.20%       -4,332,596      -72,210 
     UNG        $-0.260      -4.41%       19,895,032      45.21%       25,311,428      57.52%       -5,416,396      -208,323
     SOLR       $-0.380      -3.40%       2,417,281       28.71%       5,955,417       70.74%       -3,538,136      -93,109 

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 SOLR down $-0.38000 with a Friction Factor of -93,109 and a Net Volume of -3,538,136. That means that it takes 93,109 more shares of selling than buying to drop SOLR by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
