I got it - except that I'm looking at the glass as "half full". The longer it stays halted is an indication that CME has put together a "compliance plan" that the NASDAQ has accepted. It is then Cheng's responsibility (with help from whomever - new CFO, new auditor, etc.) to execute the plan. Once executed, it is my HOPE that good news is generated as a result.......now if you are saying you don't believe that is possible, I understand. Some of us have a higher tolerance for pain or a lower level of intelligence - not sure which it is in my case!! :-)
