February 26, 2013 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Tuesday. 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 Tuesday there were 4094 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2796 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2447 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Tuesday 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. Point.360 (NASDAQ:PTSX), Novatel Wireless Inc (NASDAQ:NVTL), Prophase Labs Inc (NASDAQ:PRPH), Wireless Ronin Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:RNIN), MediciNova Inc (NASDAQ:MNOV), CommonWealth REIT (NYSE:CWH).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PTSX    $0.350    49.96%    76,435       74.71%    25,875       25.29%    50,560       1,445   
  NVTL    $0.320    15.84%    513,058      56.81%    389,978      43.19%    123,080      3,846   
  PRPH    $0.500    28.54%    79,812       65.25%    42,508       34.75%    37,304       746     
  RNIN    $0.540    29.03%    78,810       59.09%    52,955       39.71%    25,855       479     
  MNOV    $0.970    45.33%    1,831,393    49.70%    1,828,683    49.63%    2,710        28      
  CWH     $8.550    53.94%    11,229,817   33.35%    10,261,887   30.48%    967,930      1,132   
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 PTSX with a dollar gain Tuesday of $0.35000 and a Friction Factor of 1,445 shares. That means that it only took 1,445 more shares of buying than selling to move PTSX 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.
