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 3951 companies with "abnormal" market making, 2838 companies with positive Friction Factors and 2606 companies with negative Friction Factors. Here is a list of the top companies with the largest percentage loss per share Monday and low price friction (bearish). This means that there was more selling than buying in the stocks and their stock prices dropped faster with less Friction. Impac Mortgage Holdings Inc (AMEX:IMH), Telik Inc (NASDAQ:TELK), Nam Tai Electronics Inc (NYSE:NTE), CIRRUS LOGIC INC (NASDAQ:CRUS), Flamel Technologies SA (NASDAQ:FLML), Alpha Pro Tech Ltd (AMEX:APT).

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 IMH with a dollar loss Monday of $-1.15000 and a Friction Factor of -203 shares. That means that it only took 203 more shares of selling than buying to move IMH lower by one penny. This means the Market Makers are allowing the stock to drop quickly (low friction). The combination of low friction and negative market direction can drive prices lower faster than normal.
