March 23, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday. 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 Wednesday there were 2480 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2816 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2301 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Wednesday and low price friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. CHINA AUTOMOTIVE SYSTEMS INC (NASDAQ:CAAS), KINGSWAY FINANCIAL SERVICES (NYSE:KFS), XOMA LTD (NASDAQ:XOMA), ADEONA PHARMACEUTICALS INC (AMEX:AEN), MARSHALL EDWARDS INC (NASDAQ:MSHL), JIANGBO PHARMACEUTICALS INC (OTCBB:JGBO).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     CAAS       $-1.090      -12.41%      418,605         42.66%       560,991         57.17%       -142,386        -1,306  
     KFS        $-0.190      -17.58%      211,178         44.29%       262,340         55.02%       -51,162         -2,693  
     XOMA       $-1.500      -29.88%      2,923,756       46.64%       3,339,711       53.28%       -415,955        -2,773  
     AEN        $-0.210      -12.00%      556,219         38.70%       831,104         57.83%       -274,885        -13,090 
     MSHL       $-0.300      -16.21%      48,117          29.41%       115,492         70.59%       -67,375         -2,246  
     JGBO       $-0.640      -12.19%      40,676          37.51%       67,656          62.39%       -26,980         -422    
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 CAAS with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-1.09000 and a Friction Factor of -1,306 shares. That means that it only took 1,306 more shares of selling than buying to move CAAS 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.
