because it will most likely be worth less than 50% if/when it opens.last sale was $205. you have to make a case why somebody should sell stock to you at 50% off the last price.
Hmmm, some that I remember were-
China Media Express (CCME)
Sino Forest (SNOFF)
Deer Consumer Products (DEER)
RINO (can't remember the name of the company)
2011-2012 was crazy with Chinese frauds and long halts before delisting.
You're thinking of DRYS. It was only halted for a day or two.It was something recent (maybe the start of 2017) where the stock went above $100 in just a few days after being < $10. It got halted and then it opened up something like 75%+ down. I seem to recall it might have been a shipping stock, but my mind is drawing a blank.

That is possible. Although when I look at a historical chart, I can't see the incident that I am remembering. Of course, it is pretty hard to see anything in the chart when the high is $5,200,000 and the low is $1.20.
DRYS performance has been terrible, no question, although there are plenty of total wipeouts in bankrupt that would have been (slightly) worse. I guess in some sense DRYS is worse than Enron since it keeps hanging around with lots of volatility tempting you to trade it and then falling farther.It's the only stock where billions invested in 07' is pocket change today.lol
