Whale Team

[PennyMaster]

Halts: When an exchange temporarily (or sometimes permanently) stops a stock from trading. In some cases, the company can request that their own stock be halted. Causes for halts are numerous, but usually involve the release of significant information that will have an impact on the share price. The halt allows for sufficient time for the news or announcement to disseminate through the shareholders. You can review the section on Halts and Delistings.
