July 19, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday. 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 Thursday there were 3854 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2765 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2506 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Thursday and low price friction (bullish).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PSTI    $0.510    18.96%    1,072,848    55.98%    839,215      43.79%    233,633      4,581   
  EDU     $1.750    18.42%    14,282,598   30.29%    13,459,183   28.54%    823,415      4,705   
  MLNX    $27.020   40.71%    3,328,426    52.28%    2,960,800    46.50%    367,626      136     
  OOIL    $0.240    23.76%    157,602      47.06%    83,203       24.84%    74,399       3,100   
  ROVI    $1.590    15.88%    5,276,884    58.39%    3,741,538    41.40%    1,535,346    9,656   
  OCZ     $1.090    23.90%    4,954,505    51.58%    4,646,904    48.38%    307,601      2,822   
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 PSTI with a dollar gain Thursday of $0.51000 and a Friction Factor of 4,581 shares. That means that it only took 4,581 more shares of buying than selling to move PSTI 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.
