February 16, 2017 / 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 5461 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2715 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3322 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Thursday and low price friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. Hornbeck Offshore Services Inc. (NYSE:HOS), PHH Corporation (NYSE:PHH), MATINAS BIOPHARMA HL (OTC:MTNB), Altisource Portfolio Solutions S.A. (NASDAQ:ASPS), Evoke Pharma (NASDAQ:EVOK), KBS Fashion Group Ltd (NASDAQ:KBSF).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  HOS     $-1.520   -0.24%    3,272,035    37.24%    3,562,498    40.55%    -290,463     -1,911

For example, the chart above shows HOS with a dollar loss Thursday of $-1.52000 and a Friction Factor of -1,911 shares. That means that it only took 1,911 more shares of selling than buying to move HOS 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.
