(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) 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 (bearish bias) in their stock prices. This means that there was more buying than selling in the stocks and their stock prices dropped. PACIFICNET INC (OTC:PACT), ITT EDUCATIONAL SERVICES INC (NYSE:ESI), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co Ltd (NYSE:TSM), ARIAD Pharmaceuticals Inc (NASDAQ:ARIA), Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc (NYSE:ARCO), RUBICON LTD (OTC:RUBNF).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction PACT $-0.010 -0.13% 646,294 81.18% 149,624 18.79% 496,670 Abnormal ESI $-0.140 -0.80% 1,126,086 65.96% 244,213 14.30% 881,873 Abnormal TSM $-0.080 -0.47% 2,001,338 36.03% 1,746,473 31.44% 254,865 Abnormal ARIA $-0.240 -1.24% 1,900,891 56.27% 1,446,831 42.83% 454,060 Abnormal ARCO $-0.150 -1.23% 947,519 40.48% 644,659 27.54% 302,860 Abnormal RUBNF $-0.020 -7.69% 1,147,712 88.44% 107,286 8.27% 1,040,426 Abnormal Analysis of the Friction Factor chart above shows that each of the six stocks mentioned above had more buying than selling on Monday and their stock prices dropped. 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 PACT with 496,670 greater shares of buying than selling (NetVol) and the stock price was down $-0.01000. This means the Market Makers were trading the stock in a way inconsistent with normal supply and demand (Economics 101); more buying than selling should cause prices to rise.
