March 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. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Monday there were 2544 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1715 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3750 companies with negative Friction Factors. 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. ENERGY SELECT SECTOR SPDR (NYSE:XLE), SPRINT NEXTEL CORP (NYSE:S), ISHARES COMEX GOLD TRUST (AMEX:IAU), SPDR GOLD TRUST (NYSE:GLD), SPDR S&P OIL & GAS EXP & PR (NYSE:XOP), ANIMAL HEALTH INTERNATIONAL (NASDAQ:AHII).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     XLE        $0.300       0.40%        7,092,288       43.20%       10,834,574      66.00%       -3,742,286      Abnormal
     S          $0.030       0.60%        35,534,885      41.68%       41,079,409      48.18%       -5,544,524      Abnormal
     IAU        $0.070       0.51%        1,062,585       23.74%       3,517,736       78.61%       -2,455,151      Abnormal
     GLD        $0.690       0.50%        3,942,667       38.54%       7,598,414       74.28%       -3,655,747      Abnormal
     XOP        $0.660       1.13%        2,021,071       37.64%       4,811,056       89.61%       -2,789,985      Abnormal
     AHII       $0.360       9.40%        1,394,538       26.29%       3,908,698       73.68%       -2,514,160      Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Monday 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 XLE with 3,742,286 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.30000. 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.
