August 3, 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 3860 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4047 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1544 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Friday and low price friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. Health Net Inc (NYSE:HNT), comScore Inc (NASDAQ:SCOR), Zagg Inc (NASDAQ:ZAGG), Air Transport Services Group Inc (NASDAQ:ATSG), M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:MTSI), Zipcar Inc (NASDAQ:ZIP).

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  HNT     $-4.340   -19.12%   3,555,866    29.03%    3,694,974    30.16%    -139,108     -321

For example, the chart above shows HNT with a dollar loss Friday of $-4.34000 and a Friction Factor of -321 shares. That means that it only took 321 more shares of selling than buying to move HNT lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
