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 highest net sell volume on Wednesday and lowest negative price Friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. ANGLOGOLD ASHANTI-SPON ADR (NYSE:AU), AU OPTRONICS CORP-SPON ADR (NYSE:AUO), BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ:BRCD), ANADARKO PETROLEUM CORP (NYSE:APC), CYPRESS SEMICONDUCTOR CORP (NYSE:CY), CEELOX INCORPORATED (OTC:CELO).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     AU         $-0.490      -1.11%       524,367         14.26%       1,904,515       51.78%       -1,380,148      -28,166 
     AUO        $-0.110      -2.52%       624,784         27.42%       1,063,427       46.67%       -438,643        -39,877 
     BRCD       $-0.040      -1.14%       4,422,043       41.20%       6,311,051       58.80%       -1,889,008      -472,252
     APC        $-0.320      -0.46%       882,591         16.74%       1,580,419       29.98%       -697,828        -21,807 
     CY         $-0.400      -2.32%       2,342,536       43.37%       3,012,559       55.77%       -670,023        -16,751 
     CELO       $-0.015      -7.55%       85,900          13.38%       556,089         86.61%       -470,189        -311,383
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 AU down $-0.49000 with a Friction Factor of -28,166 and a Net Volume of -1,380,148. That means that it takes 28,166 more shares of selling than buying to drop AU by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
