April 16, 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. This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Monday there were 3736 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2823 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3077 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). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. SMITH MICRO SOFTWARE INC (NASDAQ:SMSI), NEONODE INC (NASDAQ:NEON), OPTIMUMBANK HOLDINGS INC (NASDAQ:OPHC), USA TECHNOLOGIES INC (NASDAQ:USAT), ESSEX RENTAL CORP (OTCBB:ESSX), VRINGO INC (AMEX:VRNG).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  SMSI    $0.270    15.17%    447,096      59.30%    304,861      40.43%    142,235      5,268   
  NEON    $0.480    16.00%    101,552      72.29%    36,933       26.29%    64,619       1,346   
  OPHC    $0.600    30.00%    308,982      51.20%    268,085      44.43%    40,897       682     
  USAT    $0.250    18.25%    833,776      51.08%    798,422      48.92%    35,354       1,414   
  ESSX    $0.490    14.37%    65,415       52.01%    59,475       47.29%    5,940        121     
  VRNG    $0.990    32.57%    6,253,713    33.02%    6,153,481    32.49%    100,232      1,012   
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 SMSI with a dollar gain Monday of $0.27000 and a Friction Factor of 5,268 shares. That means that it only took 5,268 more shares of buying than selling to move SMSI 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.
