December 21, 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 3927 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3025 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3066 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).

Vasco Data Security International Inc (NASDAQ:VDSI), TALEO CORPORATION (NASDAQ:TLEO), SOUFUN HOLDINGS LTD-ADR (NYSE:SFUN), E-HOUSE CHINA HOLDINGS-ADS (NYSE:EJ), L&L ENERGY INC (NASDAQ:LLEN), (NASDAQ:KIOR).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     VDSI       $-0.550      -7.81%       148,224         38.85%       232,212         60.86%       -83,988         -1,527  
     TLEO       $-3.760      -9.29%       686,920         48.45%       729,021         51.42%       -42,101         -112    
     SFUN       $-1.000      -6.90%       30,959          28.04%       35,766          32.40%       -4,807          -48     
     EJ         $-0.360      -7.47%       48,122          28.77%       75,754          45.28%       -27,632         -768    
     LLEN       $-0.290      -10.98%      89,965          29.72%       212,708         70.28%       -122,743        -4,233  
     KIOR       $-0.900      -8.12%       92,706          38.97%       144,699         60.83%       -51,993         -578    
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 VDSI with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-0.55000 and a Friction Factor of -1,527 shares. That means that it only took 1,527 more shares of selling than buying to move VDSI 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.
