March 5, 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.

On Monday there were 3570 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2317 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3755 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Monday and low price friction (bullish).

     Symbol     Change       Percent      Buy Volume      Buy %%       Sell Volume     Sell %%      Net Volume      Friction
     AEZS       $0.380       21.71%       7,803,222       52.31%       7,099,223       47.59%       703,999         18,526  
     NATR       $2.310       15.79%       65,110          49.91%       61,537          47.18%       3,573           15      
     KERX       $1.250       33.78%       15,377,127      51.87%       14,012,415      47.27%       1,364,712       10,918  
     BCRX       $1.010       21.54%       1,283,094       57.35%       951,542         42.53%       331,552         3,283   
     SNSS       $0.310       17.92%       298,821         53.84%       256,231         46.16%       42,590          1,374   
     SCEI       $0.620       22.46%       2,486,722       50.07%       2,468,527       49.70%       18,195          293     
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 AEZS with a dollar gain Monday of $0.38000 and a Friction Factor of 18,526 shares. That means that it only took 18,526 more shares of buying than selling to move AEZS higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
