I got the notice in one of the numerous daily updates I get from the site throughout the day. http://www.otcbb.com/MarketWatch/in Like I said I’m not in this one (Bani) almost was but I went though this with another stock in my very early trading days and didn’t even realize it was “halted” until the close. I sure would have appreciated someone making a post like this. I saw it in my “in box” and had to check to see if the stock I’m in was listed!:) Actually I didn’t even realize what a halt was. In case you are wondering what the codes mean – Trading Halts Codes Code Description
