February 11, 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 2503 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3496 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1784 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).

NOKIA CORP-SPON ADR (NYSE:NOK), MANNKIND CORP (NASDAQ:MNKD), JACKSON HEWITT TAX SERVICE (NYSE:JTX), EXPEDIA INC (NASDAQ:EXPE), GATEWAY INDUSTRIES INC (OTC:GWAY), ENERNOC INC (NASDAQ:ENOC).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     NOK        $-1.510      -13.88%      89,891,032      44.40%       98,960,890      48.87%       -9,069,858      -60,065 
     MNKD       $-1.260      -24.90%      8,883,229       43.77%       11,408,606      56.22%       -2,525,377      -20,043 
     JTX        $-0.430      -24.71%      2,959,819       42.37%       4,022,324       57.59%       -1,062,505      -24,709 
     EXPE       $-4.430      -17.24%      22,929,529      48.37%       23,648,118      49.88%       -718,589        -1,622  
     GWAY       $-1.650      -36.67%      171,060         14.14%       218,758         18.08%       -47,698         -289    
     ENOC       $-3.500      -14.64%      745,383         39.17%       1,013,954       53.29%       -268,571        -767    

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 ENOC with a dollar loss Friday of $-3.50000 and a Friction Factor of -767 shares. That means that it only took 767 more shares of selling than buying to move ENOC 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.
