April 28, 2017 / M2 PRESSWIRE / BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Friday. 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 Friday there were 5769 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2600 companies with positive Friction Factors and 3034 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Friday 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
  ZEUS    $3.320    0.17%     203,241      29.87%    187,593      27.57%    15,648       47      
  TBBK    $1.390    0.28%     888,166      36.66%    784,565      32.39%    103,601      745     
  CNAB    $0.130    0.14%     130,726      73.74%    44,708       25.22%    86,018       6,617   
  COWN    $2.400    0.18%     767,651      34.57%    647,501      29.16%    120,150      501     
  EHTH    $2.440    0.21%     426,620      36.15%    419,272      35.52%    7,348        30      
  NTRP    $3.860    0.26%     254,614      32.57%    250,492      32.04%    4,122        11      
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 ZEUS with a dollar gain Friday of $3.32000 and a Friction Factor of 47 shares. That means that it only took 47 more shares of buying than selling to move ZEUS 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.
