April 10, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Tuesday. 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 Tuesday there were 3180 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1249 companies with positive Friction Factors and 5404 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Tuesday and low price friction (bullish).

SUPERVALU INC (NYSE:SVU), NATIONAL BANK OF GREECE-ADR (NYSE:NBG), JAGUAR MINING INC (NYSE:JAG), SMARTHEAT INC (NASDAQ:HEAT), CHINA XD PLASTICS CO LTD (NASDAQ:CXDC), NEWLEAD HOLDINGS LTD (NASDAQ:NEWL).

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 SVU with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.74000 and a Friction Factor of 8,171 shares. That means that it only took 8,171 more shares of buying than selling to move SVU 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.
