July 26, 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 4065 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3370 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1942 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). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. Covenant Transportation Group Inc (NASDAQ:CVTI), Vasco Data Security International Inc (NASDAQ:VDSI), MPG Office Trust Inc (NYSE:MPG), Xenoport Inc (NASDAQ:XNPT), Platinum Communications Corp (NYSE:PCS), KIT digital Inc (NASDAQ:KITD).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  CVTI    $1.090    28.68%    69,071       43.26%    40,502       25.37%    28,569       262     
  VDSI    $1.730    23.29%    462,709      58.10%    330,194      41.46%    132,515      766     
  MPG     $0.690    26.85%    1,109,847    34.25%    868,810      26.82%    241,037      3,493   
  XNPT    $1.910    28.13%    1,718,776    52.49%    1,551,064    47.37%    167,712      878     
  PCS     $2.110    33.61%    12,081,406   38.30%    10,489,907   33.25%    1,591,499    7,543   
  KITD    $0.690    22.04%    532,129      67.32%    258,274      32.67%    273,855      3,969   
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 CVTI with a dollar gain Thursday of $1.09000 and a Friction Factor of 262 shares. That means that it only took 262 more shares of buying than selling to move CVTI 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.
