May 6, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. 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 Friday there were 2879 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2770 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1951 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday 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. SMTC CORPORATION (NASDAQ:SMTX), ANALYSTS INTERNATIONAL CORP (NASDAQ:ANLY), OMEGA PROTEIN CORP (NYSE:OME), LIFETIME BRANDS INC (NASDAQ:LCUT), FIBERTOWER CORP (NASDAQ:FTWR), IGO INC (NASDAQ:IGOI).

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     SMTX       $-0.540      -21.43%      392,579         48.96%       406,337         50.67%       -13,758         -255    
     ANLY       $-0.770      -17.40%      35,987          32.22%       72,614          65.01%       -36,627         -476    
     OME        $-1.660      -13.08%      190,130         31.65%       240,244         39.99%       -50,114         -302    
     LCUT       $-1.620      -11.62%      42,486          42.61%       56,053          56.22%       -13,567         -84     
     FTWR       $-0.200      -16.53%      333,697         47.68%       366,218         52.32%       -32,521         -1,626  
     IGOI       $-0.380      -14.23%      350,345         34.16%       673,547         65.67%       -323,202        -8,505  

For example, the chart above shows SMTX with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.54000 and a Friction Factor of -255 shares. That means that it only took 255 more shares of selling than buying to move SMTX 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.
