Lehman Bros 7.25% Pref'd Series P (fka LEHPQ)

[radiumsoup]

I've been in an WAMU for several months now and finally tried buying in some Lehman securities over the past few days....

how the heck are you supposed to buy these things? The only issue I was able to get at all was LEHPQ at .50 today, nothing else seems to be trading. (looking only at cap. trusts and preferreds) Other than putting in orders above the ask (which, according to my chart reading skills, limited as they are, is a waste given the ability for shares to trade below even current bid levels)... do you guys just put in a GTC order and exercise some inhuman levels of patience waiting for someone to sell?
