let me throw my 2 cents in here, may or may not help at all...I was in a conversation last night with someone who has been in the brokerage industry for over 30 years; he was relating a story of a time when a stock was trading very thinly, and after two months of not finding a market at all, he was contacted by two trading firms within hours of one another to offer to buy his shares at his asking price. As it turns out, the next business day, it was reported that the company in question was being bought out at a price that was over 4 times his price...again, may not have anything to do with this situation, but given the halt, there has to be some reason that firms are willing to make a market.
fwiw, I've been lurking here for some time, and do own a small position.
