March 15, 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.

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

  Symbol  Change    Percent   Buy Volume   Buy %%    Sell Volume  Sell %%   Net Volume   Friction
  CATS    $0.460    0.34%     149,351      57.63%    109,372      42.20%    39,979       869     
  HCM     $4.540    0.28%     47,340       34.85%    44,315       32.62%    3,025        7       
  CPRX    $0.470    0.40%     9,926,708    39.51%    9,680,900    38.53%    245,808      5,230   
  KCG     $3.080    0.22%     159,827      20.23%    100,541      12.72%    59,286       192     
  JNUG    $1.900    0.33%     55,221,054   40.59%    52,901,946   38.89%    2,319,108    12,206  
  IHRT    $0.280    0.24%     51,300       58.50%    35,965       41.01%    15,335       548     
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 CATS with a dollar gain Wednesday of $0.46000 and a Friction Factor of 869 shares. That means that it only took 869 more shares of buying than selling to move CATS 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.

Hanover focuses on increasing the earnings potential in its investments by leveraging its purchases of mortgage securities with borrowings obtained primarily through the use of 30-day revolving repurchase agreements, which are established by sales with agreements to repurchase. The borrowings under the repurchase agreements are generally at 50-97% of the security's fair market value, depending on the security, and are adjusted to market value each month as the repurchase agreements are reestablished. Other mortgage security or mortgage loan financing is accomplished through the use of committed lines of credit, usually under repurchase agreements or through the creation of collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs). Hanover also, on occasion, receives income from real estate investment management services that can include asset management, due diligence, and administrative services.

As part of its REIT operations, Hanover maintains an equity investment in a joint venture entity, HDMF-I LLC (HDMF-I), formed to purchase, service, manage and ultimately resell or otherwise liquidate pools of sub- and non-performing one- to four-family residential mortgage loans.
