March 5, 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 4002 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3506 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1997 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. Zoltek Companies Inc (NASDAQ:ZOLT), MGIC Investment Corp (NYSE:MTG), Park-Ohio Holdings corp (NASDAQ:PKOH), Dyax Corp (NASDAQ:DYAX), EDUCATION MANAGEMENT CORP (NASDAQ:EDMC), Appalaches Resources Inc (AMEX:APP).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  ZOLT    $1.270    13.75%    1,040,353    51.34%    971,766      47.96%    68,587       540     
  MTG     $0.710    16.99%    21,435,222   37.51%    20,858,228   36.50%    576,994      8,127   
  PKOH    $2.690    12.63%    76,616       52.57%    68,722       47.15%    7,894        29      
  DYAX    $0.470    14.34%    446,503      54.66%    370,210      45.32%    76,293       1,623   
  EDMC    $0.410    12.69%    59,642       53.11%    52,562       46.80%    7,080        173     
  APP     $0.240    18.60%    804,359      44.31%    552,910      30.46%    251,449      10,477  
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 ZOLT with a dollar gain Tuesday of $1.27000 and a Friction Factor of 540 shares. That means that it only took 540 more shares of buying than selling to move ZOLT 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.
