February 17, 2012 / 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 3915 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3239 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2539 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.

     EMKR       $-0.640      -10.79%      251,830         43.20%       330,725         56.73%       -78,895         -1,233  
     PWAV       $-0.160      -12.50%      900,728         39.13%       1,400,659       60.85%       -499,931        -31,246 
     KSWS       $-0.430      -11.53%      405,109         40.36%       595,176         59.29%       -190,067        -4,420  
     ARTC       $-5.710      -18.55%      1,274,884       45.56%       1,461,404       52.22%       -186,520        -327    
     CBEY       $-0.950      -10.40%      152,723         40.32%       200,445         52.92%       -47,722         -502    
     RP         $-3.820      -15.80%      1,900,343       45.28%       2,180,582       51.96%       -280,239        -734    

For example, the chart above shows EMKR with a dollar loss Friday of $-0.64000 and a Friction Factor of -1,233 shares. That means that it only took 1,233 more shares of selling than buying to move EMKR 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.
