May 9, 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 2600 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3274 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1827 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Monday 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. AROTECH CORP (NASDAQ:ARTX), QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOL (NASDAQ:QTWW), PRESSTEK INC (NASDAQ:PRST), ROSETTA RESOURCES INC (NASDAQ:ROSE), Fuwei Films (Holdings) Co. Ltd. - ORDINARY SHARES (NASDAQ:FFHL), SINOHUB INC (AMEX:SIHI). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit http://www.buyins.net .

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     ARTX       $0.670       51.95%       1,516,383       59.48%       1,013,450       39.75%       502,933         7,506   
     QTWW       $0.530       19.92%       353,733         56.23%       252,597         40.15%       101,136         1,908   
     PRST       $0.260       16.46%       86,145          64.89%       46,613          35.11%       39,532          1,520   
     ROSE       $8.380       20.39%       2,031,181       50.62%       1,959,741       48.84%       71,440          85      
     FFHL       $0.880       31.65%       282,796         58.90%       196,439         40.91%       86,357          981     
     SIHI       $0.280       19.44%       164,619         31.42%       152,455         29.10%       12,164          434     
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 ARTX with a dollar gain Monday of $0.67000 and a Friction Factor of 7,506 shares. That means that it only took 7,506 more shares of buying than selling to move ARTX 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.
