Jan 24, 2013 (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 4107 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2545 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2780 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with Abnormal Price Friction (bullish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices rose. TIME WARNER INC. (NYSE:TWX), AT&T Inc (NYSE:T), Sprint Nextel Corp (NYSE:S), MICROSOFT CORPORATION (NASDAQ:MSFT), Telefon AB L M Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC), Alcatel Lucent SA (NYSE:ALU).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction TWX $0.490 0.01% 1,050,352 22.95% 2,127,846 46.49% -1,077,494 Abnormal T $0.170 0.01% 7,084,615 28.39% 8,829,641 35.39% -1,745,026 Abnormal S $0.010 0.00% 5,739,244 27.89% 6,886,459 33.46% -1,147,215 Abnormal MSFT $0.460 0.02% 23,377,381 47.38% 25,094,007 50.86% -1,716,626 Abnormal ERIC $0.110 0.01% 2,475,967 38.45% 3,963,149 61.54% -1,487,182 Abnormal ALU $0.060 0.04% 5,451,525 31.09% 6,655,166 37.96% -1,203,641 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Wednesday and their stock prices rose. 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 TWX with 1,077,494 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.49000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more selling than buying should cause prices to drop.
