This Fair Market Making Requirement is designed to prevent market makers from manipulating stock prices. On Thursday there were 3616 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2236 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3230 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
  GNI     $-8.890   -11.89%   31,526       34.07%    33,988       36.73%    -2,462       -3      
  HAUP    $-0.120   -9.30%    35,518       36.15%    62,339       63.44%    -26,821      -2,235  
  SEED    $-0.220   -10.33%   386,550      42.05%    532,532      57.94%    -145,982     -6,636  
  WZE     $-0.200   -8.81%    48,761       25.69%    75,549       39.80%    -26,788      -1,339  
  VALV    $-0.110   -8.53%    133,776      35.98%    238,013      64.02%    -104,237     -9,476  
  BONE    $-0.190   -8.52%    76,375       17.69%    126,976      29.42%    -50,601      -2,663  
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 GNI with a dollar loss Thursday of $-8.89000 and a Friction Factor of -3 shares. That means that it only took 3 more shares of selling than buying to move GNI 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.
