May 8, 2013 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Wednesday. 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.

Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Wednesday 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
  ISIS    $-2.240   -10.22%   1,478,203    47.10%    1,649,119    52.54%    -170,916     -763    
  SALM    $-1.030   -11.44%   70,349       33.29%    141,002      66.71%    -70,653      -686    
  OCLR    $-0.270   -19.85%   3,525,989    43.84%    4,506,330    56.03%    -980,341     -36,309 
  FTEK    $-0.420   -10.50%   205,777      37.09%    341,021      61.46%    -135,244     -3,220  
  OCLS    $-0.800   -16.00%   211,314      38.36%    327,659      59.47%    -116,345     -1,454  
  SNTA    $-1.060   -13.38%   1,469,842    46.53%    1,669,878    52.86%    -200,036     -1,887  
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 ISIS with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-2.24000 and a Friction Factor of -763 shares. That means that it only took 763 more shares of selling than buying to move ISIS 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.
