May 25, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. 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 Friday there were 3763 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2574 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2766 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net buy volume on Friday 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. AT&T INC (NYSE:T), H&R BLOCK INC (NYSE:HRB), PPL CORPORATION (NYSE:PPL), DOMINION RESOURCES, INC. (NYSE:D), ALCATEL-LUCENT-SPONSORED ADR (NYSE:ALU), NEXTERA ENERGY INC (NYSE:NEE).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  T       $0.050    0.15%     9,923,274    44.53%    4,902,728    22.00%    5,020,546    1,004,109
  HRB     $0.200    1.33%     5,759,866    46.21%    1,280,381    10.27%    4,479,485    223,974 
  PPL     $0.110    0.40%     14,117,458   78.68%    898,440      5.01%     13,219,018   1,201,729
  D       $0.090    0.17%     5,599,225    73.98%    392,501      5.19%     5,206,724    578,525 
  ALU     $0.080    5.00%     7,073,266    36.99%    4,157,938    21.75%    2,915,328    364,416 
  NEE     $0.190    0.29%     4,824,832    81.20%    653,090      10.99%    4,171,742    219,565 
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 T with a Net Buy Volume of 5,020,546 shares and a Friction Factor of 1,004,109 shares. That means that it takes 1,004,109 more shares of buying than selling to move T higher by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to move up higher as of Friday (lower friction). And with one of the highest Net Buy Volumes, the combination of low friction and high net buy volume is bullish.
