March 14, 2013 / 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 3675 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3518 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2120 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). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. Quicksilver Resources Inc (NYSE:KWK), Men's Wearhouse Inc (NYSE:MW), Sigma Designs Inc (NASDAQ:SIGM), ARCA Biopharma Inc (NASDAQ:ABIO), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp (OTC:FMCKJ), Federal National Mortgage Association (OTC:FNMAH).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  KWK     $0.560    25.93%    3,731,858    38.32%    3,138,056    32.22%    593,802      10,604  
  MW      $5.630    19.37%    2,692,482    31.83%    2,640,775    31.22%    51,707       92      
  SIGM    $0.780    17.65%    1,447,099    59.02%    1,041,860    42.49%    405,239      5,195   
  ABIO    $0.920    40.00%    816,285      50.58%    792,541      49.11%    23,744       258     
  FMCKJ   $0.370    16.82%    5,279,626    39.89%    968,239      7.32%     4,311,387    116,524 
  FNMAH   $0.500    28.57%    79,792       61.11%    38,980       29.85%    40,812       816     
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 KWK with a dollar gain Thursday of $0.56000 and a Friction Factor of 10,604 shares. That means that it only took 10,604 more shares of buying than selling to move KWK 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.
