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 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. Methanex Corp (NYSE:MX), Blue Nile Inc (NASDAQ:NILE), ATP Oil And Gas Corp (NASDAQ:ATPG), Genco Shipping and Trading Ltd (NYSE:GNK), World Energy Solutions Inc (NASDAQ:XWES), Knight Capital Group Inc (NYSE:KCG).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  MX      $2.000    19.40%    292,262      36.80%    215,969      27.20%    76,293       381

For example, the chart above shows MX with a dollar gain Friday of $2.00000 and a Friction Factor of 381 shares. That means that it only took 381 more shares of buying than selling to move MX 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.
