DEFINITION of 'Suspended Trading'
A stoppage in the trading of a security for an extended period of time that normally occurs when there is a lack of material financial information on the security. Once the security is suspended, shares of that security cannot be traded on the market until the suspension is lifted or lapses. The exact amount of time for the suspension will be determined on on a case-by-case basis.


That's a very poor definition. Investopedia should fix it. Or, perhaps, indicate that they're talking about exchange suspensions, which are very rare. When the SEC suspends, it is always for 10 trading days, and the date and time the suspension will expire is always indicated in the suspension notice and order.
