January 9, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Monday. 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 Monday there were 3786 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3452 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2443 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Monday 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. TRANSWITCH CORP (NASDAQ:TXCC), ECA MARCELLUS TRUST I (NYSE:ECT), AT CROSS CO-CL A (NASDAQ:ATX), IMPERIAL SUGAR CO (NASDAQ:IPSU), AMAG PHARMACEUTICALS INCORPORATION (NASDAQ:AMAG), IPC The Hospitalist Co Inc (NASDAQ:IPCM).

     ECT        $-2.790      -10.63%      168,471         30.85%       189,488         34.70%       -21,017         -75

     IPSU       $-0.450      -13.68%      341,470         42.34%       440,093         54.56%       -98,623         -2,192

     IPCM       $-15.040     -32.95%      1,819,964       48.64%       1,843,117       49.26%       -23,153         -15     

For example, the chart above shows TXCC with a dollar loss Monday of $-0.43000 and a Friction Factor of -517 shares. That means that it only took 517 more shares of selling than buying to move TXCC 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.
