Market Maker Surveillance Report. MU, XOM, CSCO, CIM, INTC, DCT, Bullishly Biased Price Friction For Friday, January 25th 2013


Jan 28, 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 3826 companies with "abnormal" market making, 3013 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2400 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. Micron Technology Inc (NASDAQ:MU), EXXON MOBIL CORPORATION (NYSE:XOM), CISCO SYSTEMS INCORPORATED (NASDAQ:CSCO), Chimera Investment Corp (NYSE:CIM), INTEL CORPORATION (NASDAQ:INTC), DCT Industrial Trust Inc (NYSE:DCT).

Market Maker Friction Factor is shown in the chart below: Symbol Change Percent Buy Volume Buy %% Sell Volume Sell %% Net Volume Friction MU $0.040 0.01% 13,729,582 45.81% 16,385,791 54.67% -2,656,209 Abnormal XOM $0.200 0.00% 2,155,085 19.85% 3,980,041 36.65% -1,824,956 Abnormal CSCO $0.130 0.01% 13,033,480 46.32% 14,983,330 53.25% -1,949,850 Abnormal CIM $0.040 0.01% 9,668,260 27.51% 13,178,838 37.50% -3,510,578 Abnormal INTC $0.010 0.00% 15,606,938 45.35% 18,270,887 53.09% -2,663,949 Abnormal DCT $0.140 0.02% 941,920 14.59% 3,048,158 47.23% -2,106,238 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 MU with 2,656,209 greater shares of selling than buying (NetVol) and the stock price was up $0.04000. 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.
