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 2468 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3767 companies with positive Friction Factors and 1641 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the highest net sell volume on Wednesday and lowest negative price Friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. CISCO SYSTEMS INC (NASDAQ:CSCO), MERCK & CO. INC. (NYSE:MRK), BANCO SANTANDER SA-SPON ADR (NYSE:STD), KRAFT FOODS INC-CLASS A (NYSE:KFT), EASTMAN KODAK CO (NYSE:EK), GENERAL ELECTRIC CO (NYSE:GE).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below:

Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction

CSCO $-0.050 -0.25% 30,784,527 46.45% 34,966,447 52.76% -4,181,920 -836,384

MRK $-0.160 -0.48% 10,337,850 39.66% 13,673,299 52.46% -3,335,449 -208,466

KFT $-0.140 -0.45% 3,862,418 35.34% 6,444,511 58.96% -2,582,093 -184,435

EK $-0.800 -17.70% 30,835,453 43.73% 35,045,437 49.71% -4,209,984 -52,625

GE $-0.050 -0.25% 28,660,178 42.43% 33,065,768 48.96% -4,405,590 -881,118

Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above have low price friction combined with more selling than buying (negative Net Volume) 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 GE down $-0.05000 with a Friction Factor of -881,118 and a Net Volume of -4,405,590. That means that it takes 881,118 more shares of selling than buying to drop GE by one penny. On Monday the Market Makers allowed the stock to move down on heavier selling than buying (low negative friction).
