Nov 22, 2012 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- 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 4066 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3153 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2036 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Wednesday 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. ST. JUDE MEDICAL, INC. (NYSE:STJ), THQ Inc (NASDAQ:THQI), Chinanet Online Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:CNET), China Hgs Real Estate Inc (NASDAQ:HGSH), Chinacache International Holdings Ltd (NASDAQ:CCIH), Ceres Inc (NASDAQ:CERE).

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 STJ with a dollar loss Wednesday of $-4.07000 and a Friction Factor of -1,044 shares. That means that it only took 1,044 more shares of selling than buying to move STJ 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.
