April 28, 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 2695 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2845 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2197 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday 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. EVERGREEN SOLAR INC (NASDAQ:ESLR), 3D SYSTEMS CORP (NASDAQ:TDSC), SKYPEOPLE FRUIT JUICE INC (AMEX:SPU), FERRO CORP (NYSE:FOE), OSHKOSH CORP (NYSE:OSK), KANDI TECHNOLOGIES CORP (NASDAQ:KNDI).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ESLR       $-0.660      -31.73%      1,643,075       38.03%       2,672,101       61.85%       -1,029,026      -15,591 
     TDSC       $-9.230      -17.80%      1,192,007       45.77%       1,348,190       51.77%       -156,183        -169    
     SPU        $-0.620      -16.76%      204,472         28.35%       279,298         38.72%       -74,826         -1,207  
     FOE        $-1.630      -9.77%       1,717,769       35.69%       1,923,327       39.96%       -205,558        -1,261  
     OSK        $-3.320      -9.35%       1,094,196       29.79%       1,203,420       32.77%       -109,224        -329    
     KNDI       $-0.320      -10.36%      260,769         42.17%       357,651         57.83%       -96,882         -3,028  
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 ESLR with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.66000 and a Friction Factor of -15,591 shares. That means that it only took 15,591 more shares of selling than buying to move ESLR 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.
