July 13, 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 4099 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4003 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2413 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. TRANSCEPT PHARMACEUTICALS IN (NASDAQ:TSPT), TBS INTERNATIONAL PLC-A (NASDAQ:TBSI), LIME ENERGY CO (NASDAQ:LIME), CRYSTAL ROCK HOLDINGS INC (AMEX:CRVP), PULSE BEVERAGE CORP/THE (OTC:PLSB), INVESTMENT TECHNOLOGY GROUP (NYSE:ITG).

For example, the chart above shows TSPT with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-3.66000 and a Friction Factor of -192 shares. That means that it only took 192 more shares of selling than buying to move TSPT 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.
