March 14, 2013 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Thursday.

Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday 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
  SCON    $-0.660   -17.10%   250,684      47.61%    275,758      52.37%    -25,074      -380    
  VELT    $-0.330   -13.75%   4,595,116    48.47%    4,832,016    50.97%    -236,900     -7,179  
  VHC     $-10.020  -28.09%   2,918,531    29.81%    2,989,432    30.53%    -70,901      -71     
  VRS     $-0.210   -12.90%   25,206       28.94%    29,621       34.01%    -4,415       -210    
  MDXG    $-0.730   -12.44%   92,959       15.28%    145,205      23.86%    -52,246      -716    
  DGAZ    $-1.720   -11.61%   355,701      32.55%    403,842      36.96%    -48,141      -280    
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 SCON with a dollar loss Thursday of $-0.66000 and a Friction Factor of -380 shares. That means that it only took 380 more shares of selling than buying to move SCON 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.
