October 18, 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 3780 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2232 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3237 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).

GIVEN IMAGING LTD (NASDAQ:GIVN), Corinthian Colleges Inc (NASDAQ:COCO), Hovnanian Enterprises Inc (NASDAQ:HOVNP), Vimicro International Corp (NASDAQ:VIMC), Broadwind Energy Inc (NASDAQ:BWEN), Trunkbow International Hldg Ltd (NASDAQ:TBOW).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  GIVN    $2.880    18.86%    622,424      54.69%    505,286      44.40%    117,138      407     
  COCO    $0.270    10.98%    626,336      67.85%    296,747      32.15%    329,589      12,207  
  HOVNP   $1.110    11.85%    58,987       65.70%    30,799       34.30%    28,188       254     
  VIMC    $0.130    11.62%    61,371       67.19%    29,970       32.81%    31,401       2,415   
  BWEN    $0.580    26.73%    940,576      50.86%    884,251      47.81%    56,325       971     
  TBOW    $0.150    16.40%    141,150      54.40%    118,300      45.60%    22,850       1,523   
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 GIVN with a dollar gain Thursday of $2.88000 and a Friction Factor of 407 shares. That means that it only took 407 more shares of buying than selling to move GIVN 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.
