March 8, 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 5289 companies with "abnormal" market making, 1972 companies with positive Friction Factors and 4240 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).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  PLCE    $18.050   0.18%     1,497,388    32.82%    1,494,628    32.76%    2,760        2       
  QUIK    $0.310    0.17%     579,028      40.89%    539,496      38.10%    39,532       1,275   
  EARK    $0.900    0.18%     222,360      48.43%    213,230      46.44%    9,130        101     
  GBT     $5.950    0.21%     4,763,736    33.76%    4,699,388    33.30%    64,348       108     
  CIIX    $0.260    0.18%     151,573      69.97%    63,679       29.40%    87,894       3,381   
  MFIN    $0.300    0.18%     476,408      40.23%    413,050      34.88%    63,358       2,112   
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 PLCE with a dollar gain Wednesday of $18.05000 and a Friction Factor of 2 shares. That means that it only took 2 more shares of buying than selling to move PLCE 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.
