February 1, 2013 / 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.

On Friday there were 3953 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3792 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1779 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).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PFIN    $-1.140   -13.57%   39,083       31.41%    85,359       68.59%    -46,276      -406

For example, the chart above shows PFIN with a dollar loss Friday of $-1.14000 and a Friction Factor of -406 shares. That means that it only took 406 more shares of selling than buying to move PFIN 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.
