The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is authorized under federal law to suspend trading in any stock for a period of up to 10 business days.
Historically, most companies subject to trading suspensions by the SEC have been quoted in the over-the counter (OTC) market on the OTC Bulletin Board or other broker-dealer operated systems prior to the suspension—and most SEC suspensions are based on a lack of current information about the company.
