July 3, 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 3509 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3926 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1468 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). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. XOMA LTD (NASDAQ:XOMA), RENESOLA LTD-ADR (NYSE:SOL), Durect Corp (NASDAQ:DRRX), GULF KEYSTONE PETROLEUM LTD (OTC:GUKYF), PATRIOT COAL CORP (NYSE:PCX), LIVEDEAL INC (NASDAQ:LIVE).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  XOMA    $0.440    14.67%    564,596      52.40%    512,754      47.59%    51,842       1,178   
  SOL     $0.160    12.31%    402,171      39.58%    260,717      25.66%    141,454      8,841   
  DRRX    $0.110    11.82%    278,868      60.09%    185,216      39.91%    93,652       8,514   
  GUKYF   $0.570    20.50%    198,902      59.63%    67,378       20.20%    131,524      2,307   
  PCX     $0.480    34.78%    7,107,538    40.92%    6,227,340    35.85%    880,198      18,337  
  LIVE    $3.570    30.43%    110,586      54.50%    89,128       43.92%    21,458       60      
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 XOMA with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.44000 and a Friction Factor of 1,178 shares. That means that it only took 1,178 more shares of buying than selling to move XOMA 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.

XOMA LTD (NASDAQ:XOMA) - XOMA Ltd., incorporated in 1981, is a biopharmaceutical company in the field of therapeutic antibody discovery and development. The Company has a royalty interest in one approved therapeutic antibody, RAPTIVA, which is marketed in the United States, Europe and elsewhere, for the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. XOMA also has a future royalty interest in additional therapeutic antibody product candidates being developed by others as a result of licensing its technologies. XOMA's pipeline includes both products and collaborative programs at various stages of preclinical and clinical development primarily directed toward treatments for cancer and immune disorders. In addition to supporting its product pipeline, the Company uses its infrastructure to provide process development and manufacturing services on a fee-for-service basis.

RAPTIVA (Efalizumab)

The Company markets RAPTIVA under an agreement with Genentech, Inc. as a result of a prior collaborative product development program. RAPTIVA is a humanized therapeutic monoclonal antibody developed to treat immune system disorders. RAPTIVA can be self-administered by patients as a single, once-weekly subcutaneous injection. In 2005, Serono had launched RAPTIVA in over 40 countries worldwide.

RAPTIVA competes with Enbrel from Amgen Inc. and its partner Wyeth Pharmaceuticals; Amevive from Biogen Idec Inc.; BG-12 from Biogen Idec Inc. and Fumapharm AG; Remicade from Centocor, Inc. Humira from Abbott Laboratories, and ISA247 from Isotechnika, Inc.

CHIR-12.12

CHIR-12.12, which is being developed by the Company in collaboration with Chiron Corporation, is an anti-CD40 antagonist antibody intended as a treatment for B-cell malignancies. In April 2005, XOMA announced the initiation of Phase I study for patients with advance chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Then in October 2005, the Company initiated a second Phase I study for patients with multiple myeloma (MM).

NEUPREX (opebacan/rBPI21)

NEUPREX (opebacan/rBPI21) is an injectable formulation of rBPI21, a modified recombinant fragment of human bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI).

XMA005.2

XMA005.2 is a Human Engineered monoclonal antibody with a high-affinity and potent inhibitory activity against its inflammatory target. This high potency means that it may be suitable for use as a monthly-dose injectable therapeutic. XOMA is evaluating XMA005.2 in preclinical studies targeting multiple indications, including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, where less frequent dosing could be a significant marketing advantage.

Anti-gastrin Mab

In September of 2004, XOMA announced a worldwide collaboration with Aphton Corporation to develop treatments for gastrointestinal (GI) and other gastrin-sensitive cancers using anti-gastrin monoclonal antibodies. Gastrin has been shown to be involved in the progression of colorectal, stomach, liver and pancreatic cancers and inhibiting gastrin may inhibit such growth.
