May 13, 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.

On Friday there were 2669 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1486 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3488 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).

BIOMIMETIC THERAPEUTICS INC (NASDAQ:BMTI), AKEENA SOLAR INC (NASDAQ:WEST), EVERGREEN SOLAR INC (NASDAQ:ESLR), QUEPASA CORP (AMEX:QPSA), LIFE PARTNERS HOLDINGS INC (NASDAQ:LPHI), AUTHENTIDATE HOLDING CORP (NASDAQ:ADAT).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     BMTI       $-1.050      -11.41%      2,900,014       48.24%       2,988,633       49.72%       -88,619         -844    
     WEST       $-0.200      -11.63%      40,976          44.53%       51,044          55.47%       -10,068         -503    
     ESLR       $-0.330      -23.40%      2,103,991       45.52%       2,517,996       54.48%       -414,005        -12,546 
     QPSA       $-1.010      -15.12%      170,006         29.74%       193,547         33.86%       -23,541         -233    
     LPHI       $-1.140      -16.19%      373,931         41.00%       537,525         58.94%       -163,594        -1,435  
     ADAT       $-0.200      -13.51%      363,228         47.42%       402,809         52.58%       -39,581         -1,979  
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 BMTI with a dollar loss Friday of $-1.05000 and a Friction Factor of -844 shares. That means that it only took 844 more shares of selling than buying to move BMTI 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.
