Joe - not sure what (if any) brokerages will let you buy. Fidelity will not (although as you have seen written here, they will let you sell). So the question becomes: if you can't buy the stock anywhere, how does the price go up, that is, without the re-enlistment of a transfer agent? Seems like a bit of a catch 22 to me but then who is buying up the shares that are being sold off on a daily basis? A market maker? If so, why buy them unless he is just taking a gamble that he can sell them at a higher price later, but to whom? I should have sold at $23, what a jerk......
