jesus christ, you still spouting misinformation? Of course they don't trade the same symbol on the same day... you ever see the dailylist? The stock shows up on the dailylist, then the next day it trades with the new symbol. There's no "halt" in the stock as you've been spouting, The old cert holders need to send in a letter of transmittal to the TA and they get new certs. Those who don't have bona fide shares have to buy them in the open market, thus the squeeze. This is not rocket science.
