March 14, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday.

Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Wednesday and low price friction (bullish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  SCLN    $1.100    20.99%    1,853,968    50.66%    1,794,597    49.04%    59,371       540     
  ORCC    $0.620    21.23%    48,314       57.62%    35,536       42.38%    12,778       206     
  FSS     $1.200    26.20%    556,444      34.20%    492,645      30.28%    63,799       532     
  EGLE    $0.260    16.88%    1,192,199    51.43%    1,131,548    48.82%    60,651       2,333   
  AOB     $0.240    17.91%    376,262      37.05%    256,612      25.27%    119,650      4,985   
  ECYT    $2.210    59.41%    6,110,184    50.83%    5,858,180    48.73%    252,004      1,140   
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 SCLN with a dollar gain Wednesday of $1.10000 and a Friction Factor of 540 shares. That means that it only took 540 more shares of buying than selling to move SCLN 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.
