Jan 02, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- 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 4098 companies with "abnormal" market making, 4476 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1657 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. Federated Investors Inc (NYSE:FII), BANK OF AMERICA CORPORATION (NYSE:BAC), CISCO SYSTEMS INCORPORATED (NASDAQ:CSCO), Hewlett-Packard Co (NYSE:HPQ), Ford Motor Co (NYSE:F), Oracle Corp (NASDAQ:ORCL).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction FII $0.390 1.97% 1,917,404 17.32% 7,782,269 70.29% -5,864,865 Abnormal BAC $0.230 2.02% 59,054,005 35.51% 61,763,071 37.14% -2,709,066 Abnormal CSCO $0.130 0.68% 14,379,167 44.90% 17,448,513 54.48% -3,069,346 Abnormal HPQ $0.580 4.24% 7,804,850 27.51% 11,238,262 39.62% -3,433,412 Abnormal F $0.050 0.39% 32,992,316 30.92% 41,115,395 38.54% -8,123,079 Abnormal ORCL $0.300 0.91% 11,094,192 44.48% 13,316,693 53.40% -2,222,501 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more selling than buying on Monday 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 FII with 5,864,865 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.39000. 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.
