January 25, 2017 / 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. On Wednesday there were 5228 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4328 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2065 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Wednesday 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. Arctic Cat Inc. (NASDAQ:ACAT), Willbros Group Inc. (NYSE:WG), Americann Inc. (OTC:ACAN), Guided Therapeutics Inc. (OTC:GTHP), Function(x) Inc. (NASDAQ:FNCX), Praetorian Property Inc. (PINK:PRRE).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  ACAT    $5.430    0.42%     4,033,938    44.83%    3,202,246    35.58%    831,692      1,532   
  WG      $0.660    0.21%     735,522      40.26%    703,010      38.48%    32,512       493     
  ACAN    $0.766    0.24%     162,471      64.18%    87,166       34.43%    75,305       983     
  GTHP    $1.530    3.80%     205,137      57.29%    90,437       25.26%    114,700      750     
  FNCX    $0.520    0.29%     134,288      43.50%    111,399      36.09%    22,889       440     
  PRRE    $0.390    0.36%     144,025      51.08%    133,117      47.21%    10,908       280     
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 ACAT with a dollar gain Wednesday of $5.43000 and a Friction Factor of 1,532 shares. That means that it only took 1,532 more shares of buying than selling to move ACAT 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.
