RE: Unusually Long Halt I guess you are a novice investor bbb. I have seen stocks halted for weeks pending news. Not many, but it happens. In this case the stock had to be halted prior to going to court because the news could be leaked anytime including during court. So, the stock halts at 10:07 and say court resumes at 3:00 pm then concludes at 3:30 and business closes at 4:00 then the nws comes out tomorrow. Just a possible scenario...
