November 15, 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 4113 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1767 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3699 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday 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. Overland Storage Inc (NASDAQ:OVRL), DryShips Inc (NASDAQ:DRYS), Lee Enterprises Inc (NYSE:LEE), OSI SYSTEMS, INC. (NASDAQ:OSIS), Diamond Foods Inc (NASDAQ:DMND), Tri-Tech Holding Inc (NASDAQ:TRIT).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  OVRL    $-0.340   -22.08%   164,604      43.19%    206,207      54.11%    -41,603      -1,224  
  DRYS    $-0.420   -20.19%   9,754,706    48.56%    10,333,167   51.44%    -578,461     -13,773 
  LEE     $-0.320   -20.51%   381,849      29.75%    395,158      30.79%    -13,309      -416    
  OSIS    $-21.040  -27.58%   2,309,149    47.34%    2,486,629    50.97%    -177,480     -84     
  DMND    $-4.150   -21.28%   1,348,434    49.22%    1,352,125    49.35%    -3,691       -9      
  TRIT    $-1.330   -39.35%   147,362      40.24%    216,125      59.01%    -68,763      -517    
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely 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 OVRL with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.34000 and a Friction Factor of -1,224 shares. That means that it only took 1,224 more shares of selling than buying to move OVRL 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.
