May 13, 2013 (M2 PRESSWIRE via COMTEX) -- 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 3761 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3211 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2125 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage gain per share Friday and low price friction (bullish). This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices rose faster with less Friction. Molycorp Inc (NYSE:MCP), Dataram Corp (NASDAQ:DRAM), Sport Chalet Inc (NASDAQ:SPCHA), Unilife Corp (NASDAQ:UNIS), Vermillion Inc (NASDAQ:VRML), Rare Element Resources Limited (AMEX:REE).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:
Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction
MCP $1.770 31.66% 21,951,089 36.29% 21,249,080 35.13% 702,009 3,966

UNIS $1.270 68.65% 5,294,150 52.45% 4,798,460 47.54% 495,690 3,903
VRML $0.470 24.74% 986,556 54.65% 803,701 44.52% 182,855 3,891
REE $0.560 30.77% 686,379 35.67% 588,416 30.58% 97,963 1,749
Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have high net buy volumes (buy volume, sell volume) and 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 MCP with a dollar gain Friday of $1.77000 and a Friction Factor of 3,966 shares. That means that it only took 3,966 more shares of buying than selling to move MCP higher by one penny. The Market Makers are currently allowing the stock to rise quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and positive market direction can drive prices higher much faster than normal.
