I understand your anger with ST...This has happened to me before with AMTD...putting a BB stock on their "LIST"...for "suspicious trading"

Of course you can still buy if you go the long route...which they assume you won't do. ....IF...there is sonme suspicious trading why don't they report it to the SEC and try to halt trading...even if it's with those suspected of doing so...they wont!!! WHY??? because they have a particular "client" they're trying to take care of...could be even themselves but mostly one of their bigger players trying to buy back on naked positions and thus keeping traders from buying easily and holding the price up or even increasing it...

A stern letter to their management with a copy to the SEC reporting division for suspicuious trading will shake them loose.

BTW...Last time this happened to me it was exactly the same situation...news and PR about a Markman ruling...probably  long-awaited news is their reasoning for this...let's them and some big customers trade the direction they need to.

JMHO...but stinks to high h*&^
