February 14, 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.

Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Monday and low price friction (bearish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     AXTI       $-1.600      -14.26%      915,600         39.74%       1,362,881       59.16%       -447,281        -2,796  
     RURL       $-1.960      -12.49%      100,613         44.64%       124,064         55.05%       -23,451         -120    
     CPSL       $-0.330      -15.21%      1,763,931       44.06%       2,239,296       55.93%       -475,365        -14,405 
     GWAY       $-1.050      -36.84%      113,149         16.76%       125,420         18.57%       -12,271         -117    
     XPO        $-0.410      -15.24%      535,578         38.40%       758,619         54.39%       -223,041        -5,440  
     BTC        $-0.220      -14.72%      32,067          39.51%       41,205          50.77%       -9,138          -415    

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 BTC with a dollar loss Monday of $-0.22000 and a Friction Factor of -415 shares. That means that it only took 415 more shares of selling than buying to move BTC 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.
