March 29, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday. 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 Thursday there were 3666 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2125 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3552 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday and low price friction (bearish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  NCTY    $-0.740   -11.99%   25,697       35.58%    42,860       59.34%    -17,163      -232    
  SABA    $-1.880   -15.50%   1,011,717    47.57%    1,108,799    52.13%    -97,082      -516    
  AE      $-9.050   -12.24%   28,735       25.60%    47,993       42.75%    -19,258      -21     
  CHTP    $-1.050   -28.63%   4,148,723    44.02%    5,069,849    53.80%    -921,126     -8,773  
  SWSH    $-0.340   -12.32%   1,291,968    43.25%    1,689,096    56.54%    -397,128     -11,680 
  CMFO    $-0.140   -11.97%   93,242       26.56%    178,387      50.80%    -85,145      -6,082  
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 NCTY with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.74000 and a Friction Factor of -232 shares. That means that it only took 232 more shares of selling than buying to move NCTY 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.
