(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) 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 3775 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3639 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1946 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. Flextronics International Ltd (NASDAQ:FLEX), General Electric Co (NYSE:GE), Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU), Sanofi SA (NYSE:SNY), Exelon Corp (NYSE:EXC), Office Depot Inc (NYSE:ODP).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction FLEX $0.010 0.15% 1,070,907 19.31% 4,473,573 80.69% -3,402,666 Abnormal GE $0.140 0.60% 8,419,162 30.75% 10,846,624 39.61% -2,427,462 Abnormal MU $0.300 3.94% 12,719,610 45.16% 15,148,481 53.78% -2,428,871 Abnormal SNY $0.950 2.01% 1,228,444 16.08% 3,324,076 43.51% -2,095,632 Abnormal EXC $0.340 1.12% 1,230,399 17.75% 4,071,490 58.74% -2,841,091 Abnormal ODP $0.260 6.53% 9,822,351 23.98% 19,088,754 46.60% -9,266,403 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Friday 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 FLEX with 3,402,666 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.01000. 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.
