June 22, 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 3684 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3271 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2151 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Friday 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. MEDGENICS INC - UNRESTRICTED (OTCBB:MDGN), GERON CORPORATION (NASDAQ:GERN), HARVEST NATURAL RESOURCES IN (NYSE:HNR), CYTORI THERAPEUTICS, INC. (NASDAQ:CYTX), ALEXZA PHARMACEUTICALS INC (NASDAQ:ALXA), KANDI TECHNOLOGIES CORP (NASDAQ:KNDI).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  MDGN    $1.810    20.59%    84,856       36.31%    70,644       30.23%    14,212       79      
  GERN    $0.190    13.31%    1,834,480    63.00%    1,057,724    36.32%    776,756      40,882  
  HNR     $4.210    86.27%    3,416,286    34.38%    3,284,423    33.06%    131,863      313     
  CYTX    $0.340    13.72%    493,700      72.33%    178,222      26.11%    315,478      9,279   
  ALXA    $1.230    44.89%    1,531,999    52.03%    1,397,030    47.44%    134,969      1,097   
  KNDI    $0.460    16.97%    133,234      58.28%    95,389       41.72%    37,845       823     
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 MDGN with a dollar gain Friday of $1.81000 and a Friction Factor of 79 shares. That means that it only took 79 more shares of buying than selling to move MDGN 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.
