May 21, 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.

On Monday there were 3593 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3882 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1727 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net buy volume on Monday and lowest price Friction (bullish). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction.

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  MRVL    $0.500    3.96%     11,096,949   54.81%    8,983,262    44.37%    2,113,687    42,274  
  SIRI    $0.110    5.57%     29,951,427   52.94%    26,587,983   47.00%    3,363,444    305,768 
  CSCO    $0.200    1.21%     21,074,795   56.01%    16,498,834   43.85%    4,575,961    228,798

  HPQ     $0.440    2.05%     6,184,699    38.32%    3,957,992    24.52%    2,226,707    50,607

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar gains (Change) and very 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 MRVL with a Net Buy Volume of 2,113,687 shares and a Friction Factor of 42,274 shares. That means that it takes 42,274 more shares of buying than selling to move MRVL higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Monday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
