October 3, 2012 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday. 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.

On Wednesday there were 4036 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2396 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2960 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose.

Pharma Inc (OTC:APPA), GenOn Energy Inc (NYSE:GEN). To access Friction Factor, Naked Short Data and SqueezeTrigger Prices on all stocks please visit http://www.buyins.net .

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  BSX     $0.100    1.68%     3,008,995    27.68%    5,293,368    48.69%    -2,284,373   Abnormal
  HCBK    $0.070    0.88%     3,871,076    29.16%    9,388,544    70.72%    -5,517,468   Abnormal
  AIG     $0.740    2.21%     6,306,423    28.59%    7,524,399    34.11%    -1,217,976   Abnormal
  S       $0.300    6.12%     38,577,641   33.17%    40,870,193   35.14%    -2,292,552   Abnormal
  APPA    $0.020    3.45%     104,515      2.70%     3,769,642    97.30%    -3,665,127   Abnormal
  GEN     $0.020    0.76%     4,031,561    22.67%    8,488,969    47.73%    -4,457,408   Abnormal
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday and their stock prices rose. 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 BSX with 2,284,373 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.10000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
