February 17, 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. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Thursday there were 2663 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3182 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2100 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Thursday 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. TIMBERLAND CO-CLASS A (NYSE:TBL), 3D SYSTEMS CORP (NASDAQ:TDSC), ADVANCED PHOTONIX INC-CL A (AMEX:API), HARDINGE INC (NASDAQ:HDNG), PRANA BIOTECHNOLOGY LTD-ADR (NASDAQ:PRAN), INTERPHASE CORP (NASDAQ:INPH).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     TBL        $9.070       30.75%       2,218,901       46.87%       1,916,616       40.49%       302,285         333     
     TDSC       $14.210      40.43%       512,050         52.60%       444,408         45.65%       67,642          48      
     API        $0.500       23.47%       1,346,944       61.08%       750,508         34.03%       596,436         11,929  
     HDNG       $2.410       26.41%       212,342         55.91%       165,947         43.69%       46,395          193     
     PRAN       $0.410       30.82%       1,683,659       50.59%       1,638,597       49.24%       45,062          1,099   
     INPH       $1.600       36.30%       1,671,504       55.96%       1,296,838       43.42%       374,666         2,342   

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 INPH with a dollar gain Thursday of $1.60000 and a Friction Factor of 2,342 shares. That means that it only took 2,342 more shares of buying than selling to move INPH 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.
