ESI, PSEM, PTEK, SWSH, STP, LDK, Losing Stocks With Lowest Price Friction For Monday, January 7th 2013(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) BUYINS.NET / www.buyins.net, announced today its proprietary Market Maker Friction Factor Report for Monday. 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 Monday there were 3999 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2718 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2830 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Monday 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. ITT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES INC (NYSE:ESI), Pericom Semiconductor Corp (NASDAQ:PSEM), Pokertek Inc (NASDAQ:PTEK), Swisher Hygiene Inc (NASDAQ:SWSH), Southern Pacific Resource Corp (NYSE:STP), LDK Solar Co Ltd (NYSE:LDK).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction ESI $-3.740 -19.39% 1,727,631 30.99% 1,779,295 31.91% -51,664 -138 PSEM $-0.870 -10.75% 89,939 38.67% 141,926 61.03% -51,987 -598 PTEK $-0.270 -16.88% 73,471 41.81% 102,250 58.19% -28,779 -1,066 SWSH $-0.220 -11.89% 506,736 38.67% 798,162 60.90% -291,426 -13,247 STP $-0.370 -19.79% 4,095,027 31.95% 5,668,347 44.22% -1,573,320 -42,522 LDK $-0.240 -11.21% 1,563,754 28.51% 2,074,310 37.82% -510,556 -21,273 Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net dollar losses (Change) and extremely 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 ESI with a dollar loss Monday of $-3.74000 and a Friction Factor of -138 shares. That means that it only took 138 more shares of selling than buying to move ESI 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.
