February 10, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday. 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.

Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose. BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYS (NASDAQ:BRCD), RF MICRO DEVICES INC (NASDAQ:RFMD), CBS CORP-CLASS B NON VOTING (NYSE:CBS), CLEARWIRE CORP-CLASS A (NASDAQ:CLWR), TERREMARK WORLDWIDE INC (NASDAQ:TMRK), LORILLARD INC (NYSE:LO).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BRCD       $0.010       0.17%        5,675,686       42.29%       7,744,134       57.71%       -2,068,448      Abnormal
     RFMD       $0.030       0.38%        8,062,860       39.67%       11,736,696      57.74%       -3,673,836      Abnormal
     CBS        $0.080       0.37%        3,933,562       38.26%       5,192,926       50.51%       -1,259,364      Abnormal
     CLWR       $0.200       3.63%        3,772,281       43.92%       4,609,290       53.67%       -837,009        Abnormal
     TMRK       $0.020       0.09%        1,925,449       40.18%       2,866,398       59.82%       -940,949        Abnormal
     LO         $0.140       0.18%        766,826         31.06%       1,576,339       63.84%       -809,513        Abnormal

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Thursday and their stock prices rose. 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 LO with 809,513 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.14000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
