December 30, 2011 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. 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 Friday there were 4327 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3413 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2863 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday 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. Cyanotech Corp (NASDAQ:CYAN), A123 SYSTEMS, INCORPORATION (NASDAQ:AONE), PONIARD PHARMACEUTICALS INC (NASDAQ:PARD), Samson Oil and Gas Ltd (AMEX:SSN), LIVEDEAL INC (NASDAQ:LIVE), Raystream Inc (OTCBB:RAYS).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     CYAN       $-0.630      -8.27%       54,823          39.94%       79,823          58.16%       -25,000         -397    
     AONE       $-0.160      -9.04%       1,110,998       32.89%       2,264,550       67.04%       -1,153,552      -72,097 
     PARD       $-0.370      -14.80%      27,459          48.11%       29,316          51.36%       -1,857          -50     
     SSN        $-0.240      -10.96%      617,435         30.11%       863,099         42.08%       -245,664        -10,236 
     LIVE       $-0.390      -8.90%       31,925          32.41%       64,652          65.63%       -32,727         -839    
     RAYS       $-0.110      -8.40%       654,733         36.97%       1,014,461       57.28%       -359,728        -32,703 
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 CYAN with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.63000 and a Friction Factor of -397 shares. That means that it only took 397 more shares of selling than buying to move CYAN 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.
