June 19, 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 3653 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4249 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1527 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).

US Energy Corp (NASDAQ:USEG), SKY-MOBI LTD-SP ADR (NASDAQ:MOBI), CITI TRENDS INC (NASDAQ:CTRN), NEWLEAD HOLDINGS LTD (NASDAQ:NEWL), L&L ENERGY INC (NASDAQ:LLEN), NF ENERGY SAVING CORP (NASDAQ:NFEC).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  USEG    $0.300    13.95%    246,487      61.96%    151,120      37.99%    95,367       3,179   
  MOBI    $0.340    17.21%    244,220      58.20%    173,988      41.46%    70,232       2,066   
  CTRN    $1.890    13.76%    423,330      46.97%    372,473      41.33%    50,857       269     
  NEWL    $0.140    12.61%    88,094       55.17%    69,779       43.70%    18,315       1,308   
  LLEN    $0.320    16.49%    375,637      53.59%    325,299      46.41%    50,338       1,573   
  NFEC    $0.220    19.81%    168,133      61.55%    105,032      38.45%    63,101       2,868   
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 USEG with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.30000 and a Friction Factor of 3,179 shares. That means that it only took 3,179 more shares of buying than selling to move USEG 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.
