August 24, 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 940 companies with "abnormal" market making, 888 companies with positive Friction Factors and 613 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Wednesday 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. ALTAIR NANOTECHNOLOGIES INC (NASDAQ:ALTI), CVD EQUIPMENT CORP (NASDAQ:CVV), BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION (NYSE:BAC), ASPEN TECHNOLOGY INC (OTC:AZPN), CROWN MEDIA HOLDINGS-CLASS A (NASDAQ:CRWN), ATP OIL & GAS CORPORATION (NASDAQ:ATPG).

For example, the chart above shows ALTI with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.12000 and a Friction Factor of 1,080 shares. That means that it only took 1,080 more shares of buying than selling to move ALTI 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.
