zeev, Since we do not know the size of your trade it is hard to speculate. I would think you would trade 1000 share lots at a minimum. In my opinion the NAS is criminally wrong in not allowing the buys and then allowing the equity to re-open for sells. If I was on a jury I would easily award treble damages. If you bought 1000 shares and made an $11 profit that would come to $33,000. The NAS should have cancelled the early trades and not allowed the equity to re-open until the mess was properly scrutinized.
