December 6, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Tuesday. 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 Tuesday there were 3643 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2613 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3259 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Tuesday 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. DYNEGY INC (NYSE:DYN), GETTY REALTY CORP (NYSE:GTY), ATLANTIC COAST FINANCIAL COR (NASDAQ:ACFC), CHINA MEDICAL TECH-SPON ADR (NASDAQ:CMED), AFFYMAX INC (NASDAQ:AFFY), PROTALIX BIOTHERAPEUTICS INC (AMEX:PLX).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     DYN        $-0.440      -13.97%      644,844         28.45%       979,808         43.23%       -334,964        -7,613  
     GTY        $-1.780      -11.95%      463,171         33.12%       509,573         36.44%       -46,402         -261    
     ACFC       $-0.390      -15.35%      32,870          41.47%       42,792          53.98%       -9,922          -254    
     CMED       $-0.810      -23.96%      3,833,256       47.77%       4,192,603       52.24%       -359,347        -4,436  
     AFFY       $-0.880      -14.06%      1,501,714       48.53%       1,578,408       51.01%       -76,694         -872    
     PLX        $-0.800      -12.92%      441,080         31.13%       448,146         31.63%       -7,066          -88     
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 DYN with a dollar loss Tuesday of $-0.44000 and a Friction Factor of -7,613 shares. That means that it only took 7,613 more shares of selling than buying to move DYN 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.
